DNS setup — pointing your domain

If you already own a domain, here's how to point it at your weauto site. Step-by-step for the most common Australian registrars.

What you need before you start

  • Your domain registrar login (where you bought your .com.au).
  • The DNS records below.
  • About 5 minutes.
You only need to do this if you already own a domain. If we're registering a new .com.aufor you (year one is included), we handle DNS automatically — you don't need this guide.

The DNS records you'll add

You'll add two DNS records at your registrar:

  • A record: Host @ (or your bare domain), points to 76.76.21.21
  • CNAME record: Host www, points to cname.vercel-dns.com

That's it. The A record handles yourshop.com.au and the CNAME handles www.yourshop.com.au.

    • Value: 76.76.21.21
    • TTL: Automatic

    • Type: CNAME Record
    • Host: www
    • Value: cname.vercel-dns.com
    • TTL: Automatic
  7. Click the green tick to save each row, then email us.

Other registrars

If you're using another registrar (Synergy Wholesale, Hover, NetRegistry, MyDNS, etc.), the steps are similar — find the DNS / Nameserver / Records section and add the two records listed above. If you can't find it, email us a screenshot of your DNS panel and we'll tell you exactly where to click.

How long until it works?

DNS changes propagate in 5 minutes to 24 hours, depending on your registrar and the TTL. Most see it live within an hour. We'll watch on our end and email you when your site is fully resolving on your domain.

Troubleshooting

  • "Site can't be reached" after DNS update: wait 30 minutes — DNS hasn't propagated yet.
  • Old site still showing: clear your browser cache, or test from your phone on mobile data.
  • SSL warning in browser: Vercel auto-issues SSL within ~10 minutes of DNS resolving. Try again shortly.
  • Stuck: email hello@weauto.org with a screenshot — we'll fix it.

Still stuck? Email hello@weauto.org and we'll sort it.
