Hi I’m trying to get a custom domain to work for my bucket but after hours of trying it just does not seem to work. I followed the docs as closely as possible alongside the youtube walkthrough but it’s just not coming together for me. I’m trying to use [assets.playerz.io](http://assets.playerz.io) to host some images. Cloudflare is my DNS provider ![image](https://storj-s3.bcdn.literatehosting.net/original/3X/3/0/304200bd3551e343f4a4b688ab8e777f04558980.png) I essentially did the following steps: 1. Created a new project 2. Proceeded to create an API key with full access 3. Followed the setup for uplink under a new profile (playrz). Added the API key, satellite address and then my passphrase. 4. Create a new bucket via uplink (set to use playrz profile by default) 5. uploaded a test image at the root of the bucket 6. uplink share --dns [assets.playrz.io](http://assets.playrz.io) sj://playrz-assets --tls --not-after=none --access=playrz 7. Updated the DNS records with the values obtained from the command above Following these steps and when I go to the domain I keep getting the default object not found error. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. ---

Welcome to the forum! Are you sure you uploaded the test image to the correct bucket under the correct project ¨playrz¨ ? ---

Yes via uplink I use the cp command to place an image at the root of the bucket. ![image](https://storj-s3.bcdn.literatehosting.net/original/3X/0/3/037fd732891d63ba4c331beccb66b5df6a755792.png) ---

Your custom domain is working correctly: ![https://assets.playrz.io/20231027_182203.jpg](https://assets.playrz.io/20231027_182203.jpg) Link: [https://assets.playrz.io/20231027\_182203.jpg](https://assets.playrz.io/20231027_182203.jpg) If you want a website to show up, you need to upload an index.html file (more: [Hosting a Static Website - Storj Docs](https://storj.dev/dcs/code/static-site-hosting)). ---

Ah ok so direct links to assets work fine. I noticed now that the example I was referencing had a folder hence I was able to navigate and list the files in a explorer type page ![image](https://storj-s3.bcdn.literatehosting.net/original/3X/6/e/6e492c70346f05108690a6278c6cd05ff90b6eea.png) ---

This works like an explorer only on [link.storjshare.io](http://link.storjshare.io), but not on the custom domain, because it’s expected to be a static web-site, thus - should have `index.html` in the root.
