Custom Domain Setup
CareGLP storefronts can be hosted on custom domains instead of the default careglp.com domain. This guide outlines the DNS configuration requirements for both root domains and subdomains.
Overview
Setting up a custom domain requires:
- DNS configuration on the customer side
- Domain verification
- Final setup completion by CareValidate
Root Domain Configuration
To host your storefront on a root domain (e.g., example.com), configure the following DNS records:
Required DNS Records
| Record Type | Name | Value | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| A | @ | 199.36.158.100 | Should be the only A record for the domain |
| TXT | @ | hosting-site=care360-next | Required for domain verification |
- Only one A record should exist for the domain
- Do not add any AAAA records
Verification Steps
- Configure the DNS records with your domain registrar
- Verify the configuration using Google's Dig Tool

| Record Type | Name | Value | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| CNAME | care (or your subdomain) | care360-next.web.app | Should be the only CNAME record for the subdomain |
- For
care.example.com, set the CNAME name tocare - For
glp.example.com, set the CNAME name toglp - For
careglp.example.com, set the CNAME name tocareglp

- Contact your CareValidate point of contact to complete the setup
Custom Email Configuration
CareValidate can send emails on behalf of your custom domain. Email DNS settings are unique for each domain and require custom configuration.
To enable this feature:
- Contact your CareValidate point of contact
- Request custom email configuration
- CareValidate will provide domain-specific DNS settings
- Configure the provided records with your domain registrar
Custom email configuration is optional but recommended for a fully branded experience.
