Connect a domain you already own
The common case, and the easiest one. Keep your domain wherever you bought it. We tell you the two records to add, or make the change for you if you would rather we did.
Domains and DNS
Your address, not ours
Staff should sign in somewhere that looks like the company they work for, and a customer reading a receipt should see your name. We connect the domain you own, prove it is yours, secure it, and keep the records correct.
In short
- Use a domain you own
- Records managed
- Certificate issued
- Kept valid
Domain management and DNS
Your staff sign in at your own web address rather than a generic one. We connect it, verify it, issue the certificate, and keep the records right.
DNS records managed properly
Records are set correctly the first time and revisited whenever something changes. No stray entry left over from a service you stopped using in 2019.
The certificate comes with it
Once your domain is verified we issue the certificate for it and keep it renewed. A custom address is not a reason for a browser warning.
Verified before it goes live
We confirm the records have propagated and the address genuinely resolves to your account before we tell your staff to start using it.
Expiry watched
Domain and certificate expiry dates are monitored the same way availability is, so nothing lapses because a renewal notice went to an inbox nobody reads.
Your email is left alone
We only touch the records that point at your Stockovaa service. Your mail records are yours and we do not go near them without asking.
In scope
What we do with domains
Three things we can do today, and one we are honest about.
- Connect a domain you already own, with the records and verification handled
- Manage the DNS records that point at your Stockovaa service
- Issue and renew the certificate for your address, and keep it valid
- Buying a new domain on your behalf is not something we offer yet. Register it with any provider you like and we will connect it the same day
Connecting your domain
Usually done inside a working day, once the records are in place.
Tell us the address you want
Something like stock.yourbusiness.com. It does not have to be a whole new domain. A subdomain of the one you already use is completely normal.
Add the records, or ask us to
We give you the exact records to add at your provider. If you would rather not touch DNS, give us access and we will do it for you.
We verify and secure it
Once the records resolve we verify ownership, issue the certificate, and confirm the address is working before your staff hear about it.
The point of it
What your team never has to do
- Work out what a CNAME is on a Sunday
- Explain to staff why the sign-in page has somebody else's name on it
- Renew a certificate manually every year
- Discover the domain expired because the renewal notice went to a former employee
Asked and answered
If yours is not here, ask us directly. We would rather have the conversation than have you guess.
No. Keep it exactly where it is. All we need are the right records pointing at your service, and you can change or remove them whenever you want.
Not today. We would rather say so than take an order we cannot fulfil. Register it with any provider you like and send us the name, and we will connect it for you.
Yes, and most customers do. Something like stock.yourbusiness.com keeps everything under the name your staff and customers already know.
Nothing. We only add the records that route your Stockovaa service. Mail records are separate and we leave them alone.
Managed Cloud does five other things too
Each one works the same way. Our team does the work, and your team gets on with trading.
Automated backups and restore
Copies of your business data are taken on a schedule and kept away from the system they came from. When you need one back, you ask us and we do the restore.
About backups and restoreSecurity hardening and SSL
Patching, access rules, account protections and certificates are applied and reviewed by us, rather than left as a checklist somebody is meant to remember.
About security and sslMonitoring and uptime
Availability is checked continuously. If something stops responding, an alert reaches a person who is already working on it before your first customer of the day notices.
About monitoring and uptimeSoftware updates and versions
Every new Stockovaa release is applied for you, on a window we agree, after it has been checked against your configuration. Nothing to download, nothing to schedule around month end.
About updates and versionsWhite label branding
Your logo, your colours and your business details on the screens your staff use every day and on the invoices and receipts your customers take away.

This is one part of Managed Cloud. The rest of it works the same way: our team does the work, and your team gets on with trading.
