Run website on my own domain

Before you start


When you create your account, with either MyOrderBox or MyFoodFast, we automatically create a temporary domain running on myfoodfast.co.uk for you to test and see your site.


When you are ready to start placing real orders:


  • Ensure you have bought a domain and have the right to change the DNS records for it.
We recommend you register and mange the domain with CloudFlare How to transfer domain


  • Send Support the domain you wish to use.
  • We will reply to you with the DNS record changes, specific to your domain, you will need to make within 24 hours, and will look like below.

  • Domain Provider


    • Login to the Control Panel of whoever is controlling your domain.
    • Look for the DNS settings for this domain



    Add records


    1. Add a CNAME record

    Name

    @

    Value

    goo.myfoodfast.co.uk


    1. Add a TXT record

    Name

    _acme-challenge.tbc.co.uk

    Value

    TBC


    1. Add a TXT record

    Name

    _cf-custom-hostname.tbc.co.uk

    Value

    TBC


    • Carefully delete any existing A type records pointing to an old IP address 
    • Save > This will point the DNS of your selected domain to our AWS servers
    • Allow a few hours for this to propagate.
    We suggest this is done on a Sunday night to ensure you're ready for a Monday, to minimise the risk of any downtime.
