How to connect my domain bought on name.com with my herokuapp?

Question

I bought my domain on Name.com I got my App on heroku.

On heroku added a new \"custom domain\":

Domain Name      DNS Target
mydomain.com     mydomain.com         


        

Answer 1

It needs to point to yourapp.herokuapp.com and you'll need to map www to the Host field.

In order to point your root domain, i.e. yourdomain.com to the Heroku app, you'll need to use a DNS service that allows CNAME flattening like CloudFlare.
