# CNAME Support

Backbench supports `CNAME/ALIAS` records.

From your DNS provider, you can set a `CNAME/ALIAS` record for backbench endpoint. (like below)

Set `@` to `USERID-BENCHID.backbench.io`.

If this doesn't work for you then, you have to change your DNS provider to something else. ([Cloudflare](https://www.cloudflare.com/) has been working properly)

After setting this up, you have to follow the above procedure of setting `CNAME/ALIAS` record for backbench (which you'll get in endpoint section).

Once your're done with it, next step is to **register/setup** **your domain-name** to backbench. This can be done from your endpoints section. (setting up custom domain name)

You can always always reach to us if, Also setting up a custom domain on backbench is **FREE**.
