Deploy a React website with Custom Domain on Vercel

  • Purchase a domain

  • Build a site or a simple placeholder.

  • Push your site to GitHub and link it to Vercel

  • Deploy the React.js built app

  • Go to vercel.com, click DOMAINS

  • Select ADD DOMAIN

  • Type in the URL of domain in step 1

  • Go to the host site and type in the A RECORD into the DNS RECORDS

  • Go back to vercel.com

  • Once the A-RECORD is approved VERCEL will create an SSL CERTIFICATE.

  • This step took about five minutes for me.

  • Once that was complete I went to a browser and typed in the URL and it forwarded me to the VERCEL page that was my REACT project.

  • I type 1980.social and it redirects to Vercel page
