-Enter your domain (for example, `docs.yourcompany.com`) and follow the provided instructions to configure DNS settings with your domain provider.
+### Configure DNS settings
+
+On your domain provider's website, navigate to your domain's DNS settings and create a new CNAME record:
 
 <Table>
-  | Record Type | Name                | Value                | TTL  |
-  | ----------- | ------------------- | -------------------- | ---- |

+### Wait for DNS propagation and TLS provisioning
+
+DNS changes typically take 1-24 hours to propagate globally, though it can take up to 48 hours in some cases. You can verify your DNS configuration using [DNSChecker](https://dnschecker.org).
+
+Once your DNS records propagate, Mintlify automatically provisions a free SSL/TLS certificate for your domain. Your site is first accessible via HTTP, then HTTPS becomes available after certificate provisioning completes.
+
+<AccordionGroup>
+  <Accordion title="Cloudflare users">
+    If Cloudflare is your DNS provider, enable "Full (strict)" mode for SSL/TLS encryption. Also disable "Always Use HTTPS" in Edge Certificates settings to allow certificate validation.
+  </Accordion>
+  <Accordion title="Vercel users">
+    If Vercel is your domain provider, you must add a verification `TXT` record. This information appears on your dashboard after submitting your custom domain.
+  </Accordion>
+  <Accordion title="Using CAA records">
+    If your domain uses CAA (Certification Authority Authorization) records, add `0 issue "letsencrypt.org"` to authorize certificate issuance.
