How to connect your own domain

Add one CNAME record for a subdomain. We verify it and set up HTTPS automatically.

You can publish sales pages and dedicated blogs on your own address, such as blog.yourbrand.com or offers.yourbrand.com. Connecting it means adding one DNS record.

Step 1: Tell us the address

Include the address you want in your brief when you order. You can also connect it later.

It must be a subdomain of a domain you own, such as blog.yourbrand.com. It can't be the bare domain yourbrand.com, because a bare domain can't take this kind of record. That's a rule of DNS, not ours.

Step 2: Add one CNAME record

We send you the exact record. Sign in to wherever your domain's DNS is managed (for example, your domain registrar, hosting provider or Cloudflare) and add:

Type Host / Name Points to / Target
CNAME blog (the part before your domain) the address we send you

Save it. Nothing else in your DNS changes, so your website and email carry on as before.

Step 3: We take it from there

Our system watches for the record, confirms the routing and sets up HTTPS on the new address. You don't need to tell us when you're done. We notice, and keep checking until it verifies.

How long does it take?

DNS changes are often visible within minutes, but can take longer depending on your DNS provider. If the address isn't working after a day, see Domain connection: common questions or contact us.
