# Investor Portal: DNS records

*The Investor Portal is a separate webpage that works as a selling point of your project.*

*You set it up and manage via your Stobox 4 Business Space.*

*Before you can populate the Investor Portal page with your project and token information, logos, images, links, and videos, you must add this page to your domain so it opens for your investors. To do so, you need to add DNS records for this webpage to your main website’s domain registrar. And that’s what this guideline is about.*

***

#### What you need to proceed

1. Paid Business Subscription to have access to the Business Space and Investor Portal settings.
2. Access to your domain registrar, i.e., credentials to log in to it.

See the [video guideline](/helpcentre/help-centre/business-space/launch-your-project/investor-portal-dns-records/video-how-to-enable-your-investor-portal.md).
{% endhint %}

***

#### Step-by-step Guidelines

1. In your Business Space, go to the Investor Portal tab.<br>
2. Click the Add domain button.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note:** This text will be updated to be more user-friendly. You add your new webpage link, NOT the domain itself.

✅ Correct: [sto.mycompany.io<br>](http://sto.mycompany.io)⛔ Incorrect: [mycompany.io](http://mycompany.io)
{% endhint %}

3. In the pop-up, enter your webpage link. Click **Next: Add DNS Records**.

{% hint style="info" %}
In our example, it's *public-jenja.stbx.app*, where *stbx.app* is our domain, and *public-jenja* is the webpage address for an Investor Portal.
{% endhint %}

4. Wait a bit. There may be success notifications at the top right of the page, but wait until the pop-up message changes to another one.<br>
5. The new pop-up message informs that the Entri microservice will be used to configure, i.e., generate DNS records for you. Click **Continue** on this pop-up message.<br>
6. The system scans the link and tries to determine which domain registrar/provider it is.

***

#### If the system defines your domain registrar,

you will see a pop-up suggesting that you log in.

{% hint style="info" %}
In our case, it found our domain uses Cloudflare.
{% endhint %}

1. The next step is to log in to the domain registrar account.\
   \&#xNAN;*It usually requires an email address, a password, and a 6-digit 2FA code.*
2. Once you are authorized with your domain registrar, the system generates DNS records for you and shows recommended settings.\
   Click the **Authorize** button. In our case, it’s *Authorize with Cloudflare*.
3. After confirming the records, you’re back in your Business Space on Stobox 4 and can see the success message.

{% hint style="success" %}
**Your Investor Portal link is ready!**\
Now you can populate your webpage with the information about your project, logos, images, links, and documents.
{% endhint %}

***

#### If the system can’t define your domain registrar,

1. Click the **Go to our manual setup** link under the Authorize button.
2. See the generated DNS records in a two-line, two-column table.
3. Log in to your domain registrar and follow the process for adding DNS records for your specific provider. It may vary across providers, but the main steps are similar.
4. In your Stobox 4 manual setup link, copy the first column’s first line.
5. In your domain registrar account, enter your domain settings (in our case, it would be stbx.app)
6. Enter the DNS settings tab inside your domain settings.
7. Click the **Add record** button in your DNS settings.
8. Select the **CNAME** record type.
9. Paste the data you have copied into the **Name** field.
10. Go back to Stobox 4 and copy the second column’s first line.
11. Go back to your domain registrant and paste it into the **Value** field.

{% hint style="info" %}
In our case, with Cloudflare, it is an IPv4 address.
{% endhint %}

12. Click **Save** to save your new record.\
    \&#xNAN;*Note: this step may require your 6-digit 2FA code or another verification step.*
13. Repeat for the second line.

{% hint style="success" %}
**Your Investor Portal link is ready!**\
Now you can populate your webpage with the information about your project, logos, images, links, and documents.
{% endhint %}

***

#### Additional notes

* You can keep the Proxy off so the webpage opens faster
* Domain registrars may take up to 72 hours to validate the records. Although it normally takes less time, we still feel it necessary to warn you of such cases.
