Connecting Custom Domain to GitBook - Subdomain Works, But Not Root Domain
GitBook vs Notion, PLEASE add this to Notion! Much more Intuitive/respectful of users time.
New to self-hosted documentation. I have a question whether I can use Gitbook for non-open sourced projects?
Is there a self hosted GitBook alternative?
mdBook - "Like GitBook, but implemented in Rust"
Actively maintained by Rust, and used for most of its docs
More on reddit.comHello everyone,
I'm having trouble setting up a custom domain for my GitBook project. My project is hosted at bloxsafe.gitbook.io, and I've successfully set up the subdomain www.bloxsafe.xyz to point to it. However, I'm unable to configure the root domain bloxsafe.xyz to work similarly. Under Settings->General->Publishing->Your Gitbook Domain, I can only edit the subdomain.
The problem is that visitors can access my GitBook via www.bloxsafe.xyz, but not directly through bloxsafe.xyz. I've tried setting up DNS records, but it seems like GitBook only supports subdomains (e.g., www) rather than the root domain.
Has anyone else encountered this issue? Are there any workarounds or specific DNS settings I should use to get both www.bloxsafe.xyz and bloxsafe.xyz working?
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated!
