Properly configuring and setting up a domain with Vercel

Hey makers ⚡️

I'm migrating from a nightmare-ish AWS S3+Cloudfront+Route53 stack to Vercel, it's been pretty good with the deployment and build.

But I got some difficulties in setting up my custom domain properly. I use NameCheap as my registrar, and through Nameservers I have it set up and working at https://goalsy.io/ but how can I configure the DNS and make "www.goalsy.io" "goalsy.io" "https://www.goalsy.io" all work?

Have you ever worked this out? Any help/resources would be very appreciated 🙏🏻✅

Thanks!

Adding a domain name trough Settings -> Domains is quite simple and should be straightforward. Generally all you have to do is adding an A record pointing to Vercel's server on your registrar dns settings.

Be careful though if you are using Cloudflare you may get a redirect loop. I fixed it by setting Cloudflare's SSL encryption to Full mode.
