Connect to Vercel

Step-by-step guide to hosting your website on Vercel with your .arc.bd subdomain.

1Add Subdomain in Vercel

Open your Vercel Project Dashboard → Settings → Domains.
Type your claimed ARC.BD domain (e.g., myproject.arc.bd) and click Add.

2Configure DNS in ARC.BD Dashboard

Go to your ARC.BD Domain Dashboard, open your domain, and use the Vercel CNAME preset, or manually add:

Type: CNAME

Name / Host: @

Target: cname.vercel-dns.com

Vercel "Claim Domain Ownership" or TXT Record Verification

If Vercel asks you to verify DNS ownership with a TXT record:

Case A: Vercel asks for TXT record at _vercel.your-subdomain.arc.bd

In your ARC.BD Domain Dashboard, click Add Record and enter:

Type: TXT

Name / Host: _vercel

Value: vc-domain-verify=... (copied from Vercel)

Case B: Vercel asks for TXT record at _vercel.arc.bd ("Claim Domain Ownership")

This happens because arc.bd was previously added to another Vercel account.

How to fix permanently (For Platform Admin / Vercel Domain Owner):

In the Vercel Account that owns the main arc.bd domain, go to Vercel Team Settings → Domains → arc.bd and enable "Allow external Vercel accounts to use subdomains".

Alternatively, the Admin can add the requested _vercel.arc.bd TXT verification record in the ARC.BD Root DNS Panel.

3Verify & Live

Once configured, click Verify in Vercel. SSL certificates are provisioned automatically by Vercel and Cloudflare, and your site will be live within seconds!
