The domain troubleshooting guide can help with most custom domain configuration issues. You might be able to use that guide to solve it before a human is available to help you. Then you can come back here and share the answer for bonus points.

You can also use v0 to narrow down the possibilities.

When you buy a domain from Vercel, here’s what you get:

  1. Email address: No, Vercel domains don’t include email hosting. You’ll need to use a separate email service like Gmail, Outlook, or a dedicated email provider.
  2. SSL certificates: Yes! Vercel automatically provides free SSL certificates for all domains (both custom domains and Vercel domains). You don’t need to buy or configure SSL certificates - they’re handled automatically.
  3. DNS records: Absolutely. You can add and manage DNS records through the Vercel dashboard. This includes A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT records, and more.

Let us know if you have any other questions!

hi pauline

Thanks for replying

If I buy a domain name elsewhere (other domain registrars provide free email addresses )

Can I get this to work with one of my Vercel projects?

If so, what do I need to do?

Is it still covered under the Vercel SSL cert?

Thanks for your help

Yes! :slight_smile:

Here’s more information from our docs:

This can be sorted by the domain registrar that you choose :slight_smile:
