Custom domains for website and page builders
Publish ends on your customer's own domain. CustomDomain™ finds their DNS provider and writes or shows the records.
For founders, onboarding product managers and platform engineers at site builders such as Wix, Squarespace and Jimdo.
Where site builders connect domains
Each job with its records, its fit and the docs page behind it.
Small-business site builders
A local business publishes its first site and connects its domain. CustomDomain™ recognizes parking and forwarding records left at the registrar, picks the root record per provider and flags conflicts before writing.

Publishing to the client's domain is the moment that counts. The live check flags extra A records, AAAA conflicts and proxied records, and hourly drift checks catch later changes.
Design tools that publish sites
Design tools now publish live sites. The pre-flight names conflicting records, AAAA and CAA before anything is written, and a TXT record the tool supplies rides the same connection.
One-page and personal sites
Single-page sites for individuals. When the builder assigns records per site, it supplies them to the connection and each one is checked live.
Sites built from workspace pages
Wrappers that publish workspace pages as sites. Parking records left at the registrar are recognized, and the root is handled per provider.
CNAME www.acme.com customers.example.comFull fitPublished notes and wikis
Notes and handbooks published as sites, usually on a subdomain. One CNAME, with proxied records flagged by the live check.

Niche publishers launch a paid directory on their own domain. A pending connection never times out, it is rechecked, and each status change reaches your app by webhook.
Digital publications and flipbooks
Catalogs and magazines on catalog.acme.com. A self-serve subdomain CNAME replaces the support ticket.
CNAME catalog.acme.com edge.customdomain.aiFull fitContent hubs and interactive stories
Business content hubs and reports on resources.acme.com. A subdomain connection keeps the customer's zone and mail where they are.
Portfolio builders
Designer and photographer portfolios on the creator's own domain. On Growth and up the certificate is issued on the first HTTPS request, and a failing renewal is retried while the current one serves.
Client galleries and proofing
Galleries delivered to clients on clients.acme.com. One subdomain CNAME, with proxied records detected before the certificate fails.
CNAME clients.acme.com edge.customdomain.aiFull fitWebsite translation proxies
Translated copies of a site on language subdomains such as es.acme.com. Each subdomain is its own connection, and the API creates them in bulk.

No-code apps and portals
Apps built on databases and visual builders, live on the brand's domain.
No-code web app builders
Visual app builders whose customers launch on their own domain. The CAA advisory adds the Let's Encrypt record instead of deleting the customer's own, and proxied records are flagged.
CAA acme.com 0 issue "letsencrypt.org"Full fitDatabase-to-portal builders
Client and staff portals over a database. The root gets the provider's ALIAS-style record where one exists, or A records.

Common questions
What happens if a registrar parked the domain?
The check recognizes common parking and forwarding records, and the provider steps say what to delete first so the new root record can take over.
Do my customers need to change nameservers?
No. CustomDomain™ writes or shows records at the customer's current DNS provider, so their mail and other records stay where they are.
Who serves HTTPS on the published site?
On Growth and up, the CustomDomain™ edge issues the certificate on the first HTTPS request and renews it. On Starter and Startup, domains point at your own servers and you serve TLS.
