# Connect a custom domain

6 min

At launch, the custom domain points to the storefront. This lesson shows how a domain is assigned to a market, which DNS records are needed at the domain provider and how the certificate for HTTPS is provided. It can take a while until the DNS change takes effect.

## Key takeaways

- Domains belong to markets.
- DNS records are set at the domain provider.
- HTTPS is set up automatically.

  A custom domain is assigned to a market in Cockpit and linked to a language. After the DNS record is set at the domain provider and a deployment has run, Laioutr Cloud serves the storefront under that domain.
- [Set up markets, currencies and domains](https://academy.laioutr.com/en/artikel/set-up-markets-currencies-and-domains)7 min

  A market bundles name, currency, flag and the domains visitors use to reach a storefront. Markets are created in the project under Markets, and each domain gets a language from Translations.
