If you have a **minted Web3 domain**, you can connect it to a website built with **Duda** or **Pagy** by updating your domain’s **A record** with the value provided by the website builder.

# How to Connect a Web3 Domain to a Website Builder

For resolution on **Chrome, Mozilla (Firefox), and other major browsers**, you must have **Freename DNS** enabled.

Propagation can take up to **72 hours**.

 

 **Requirements**

- Your **Web3 domain must be minted**
- A published website on **Duda** or **Pagy**
- Your Web3 domain added as a **custom domain** inside the website builder
- The **A record value** provided by your website builder
- **Freename DNS** enabled for browser resolution

#### Step-by-Step

1. Publish your website on **Duda** or **Pagy**, then add your **Web3 domain as a custom domain** inside the website builder.
2. Open your Web3 domains portfolio page:  
   [https://freename.com/dashboard/user/portfolio/?t=WEB3_SLD](https://freename.com/dashboard/user/portfolio/?t=WEB3_SLD)
3. Find the Web3 domain you want to use and click **Manage**.
4. Click **Records**.
5. If **Forward Domain** is enabled, **disable it** to allow DNS records to be active.
6. Update the **A record** with the value provided by your website builder (Duda or Pagy).
7. Save the change and approve it using the **wallet that holds the Web3 domain**.
8. Wait for propagation (up to **72 hours**).
9. To view the website on **Chrome, Mozilla, and other browsers**, make sure **Freename DNS** is enabled, then open your domain (if needed, try using **http** or a **final slash**).

### FAQ

1. **Which record do I need to change to connect Duda or Pagy?**
   
   In most cases, you only need to update the **A record** using the value provided by the website builder.
2. **Do I need to add the domain inside the website builder too?**
   
   Yes. After publishing your site, add your **Web3 domain as a custom domain** in Duda or Pagy, and follow their instructions to obtain the correct A record value.
3. **Forward Domain is enabled. Why can’t I edit DNS records?**
   
   Forward Domain can override DNS behavior. Disable **Forward Domain** to activate DNS records and manage the A record.
4. **Do I need to approve record changes with my wallet?**
   
   Yes. Web3 record updates require approval with the **wallet that holds the domain**. Make sure your wallet extension (for example, **MetaMask**) is active in your browser and connected to the **same wallet address and chain** where the domain is held. Also ensure you have enough balance to cover network fees on the chain you are using. For example, on **Polygon**, we recommend having at least **5 POL** available for transactions.
5. **My website does not resolve yet. How long should I wait?**
   
   Allow up to **72 hours** for propagation.
6. **My website does not work in Chrome, Mozilla, or other browsers. What should I do?**
   
   Make sure **Freename DNS** is enabled. If needed, try opening the domain using **http** or with a **final slash**.
7. **Is SSL supported for Web3 domains?**
   
   At the moment, **SSL is not supported for Web3 domains**.
8. **Can I build a Web3 website with my own hosting provider?**
   
   At the moment, for Web3 domains, only compatible website builders such as **Duda and Pagy** are supported.
9. **I updated the A record and waited 72 hours, but it still doesn’t load. What should I do**
   
   Contact **support@freename.com** and include your domain name, the A record value you set, and the date/time you last updated the records.
10. **Where can I install Freename DNS?**
    
    You can currently install Freename DNS on:
    
    **- Windows**:[https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/xpfmjvr9kbllrq?hl=en-US&gl=US](https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/xpfmjvr9kbllrq?hl=en-US&gl=US)
