FAQs

Q1: What is a CNAME record and why is it required?

A CNAME (Canonical Name) record connects your custom domain to ContentStudio’s white-label domain. It ensures that when users visit your branded URL, it correctly routes to the ContentStudio platform.

Q2: How long does it take for DNS changes to reflect?

DNS changes can take anywhere from a few minutes to up to 24–48 hours to fully propagate, depending on your DNS provider and TTL settings.

Q3: Can I use a domain purchased from another registrar (e.g., GoDaddy, Namecheap)?

Yes. You can configure the required CNAME record in your domain registrar’s DNS settings, even if the domain was not purchased through AWS.

Q4: What happens if the CNAME record is entered incorrectly?

If the CNAME value is incorrect, your white-label domain will not connect properly to ContentStudio. Double-check the record value and ensure it matches:

whitelabel.contentstudio.io
