Hi all, I have purchased a custom domain (agrihubco.com.au) and hoping to have my website (squarespace) point to this and then have a sub domain e.g. dashboard.agrihubco.com.au for my glide app. I have run into two points of confusion. 1. I am struggling to understand how to create a sub domain on Cloudflare 2. Following the steps I have read in these threads here I still can not get my site to verify, it tells me i have too many A records - however as others have suggested I can not delete them as they are to link the domain with my website. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, thank you, kate ---

Was the site hosted on cloudflare? Or you just pointed the DNS there? For instance I use to host a site on namecheap/Bluehost then point it to cloudflare servers if that’s the case then you’ll have to create a subdomain there. Also are you on a cloudflare plan? Because I think they have some limitations set - I remember being limited at one point before. Not sure if this is related. ---

Can you share some screen shots of your custom domain settings in Glide? Each of Step 1, Step 2 and Step 3 please. ---

Hi Micheal, Ahh I think I have just pointed it there - I purchased the domain on Crazy Domains and now it points to cloudflare. I originally contacted Crazy Domains and they said they could not faciliate creating a sub domain and that I would have to go to CloudFlare to create the sub domain. No not on a plan but I might need to look into that! Thanks so much for the suggestions! ---

Hi Darren, Yes for sure!

You can point the domains to Cloudflare from Crazy Domains, and then in Cloudflare, you can create a subdomain, for example: dashboard.agrihubco.com.au. Additionally, make sure to set the SSL/TLS to Full. I’ve attached some images for reference. ![2223](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/a/e/aea64a1b0da535fbb708f70270b4a107eefec777.jpeg) ![2224](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/a/a/aad6bfb0a8b47c7e8122477a3d2f4c236c981c2b.jpeg) ---

Your problem is at Step 1: ![CleanShot 2024-10-28 at 08.03.51@2x](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/1/2/12720bf1649ea0f4f74dee9b00ef4dbf917b88d1.png) That should be `dashboard.agrihubco.com.au` Once you fix that, you should delete all DNS records on cloudflare that reference `dashboard`, and then only add the new set of records that Glide provides at Step 2. This will usually be a single `CNAME` record, and a single `TXT` record. ![CleanShot 2024-10-28 at 08.09.33@2x](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/f/5/f551ea2e76770617d1545cc03f029f4fc1097f77.jpeg) ---

> [@Darren\_Murphy](#): > > dashboard.agrihubco.com.au Hi Darren, Thank you so much for your help, truley appreciate it so much. Does this mean that the url will still stay as it is finishing in .glidepage ![Screenshot 2024-10-28 at 1.22.47 PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/9/6/9667a87972712c727f23ac679448ca8efc83dbf4.png) ![Screenshot 2024-10-28 at 1.23.05 PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/1/6/16edd5c39cdca10c558a8af8e5c90aceffff2dc5.png) I might have miss understood I thought by adding the custom domain I could remove the .glide.page component.

That URL will still work, but you will also have the option of using your custom URL, ie. [https://dashboard.agrihubco.com.au](https://dashboard.agrihubco.com.au) (`https://dashboard.agrihubco.com.au`) ---
