Connect a domain

Every blog ships live on a free subdomain. Point your own domain at it whenever you're ready.

Free subdomain

Your blog is always available at yourname.blogcms.app — no setup, SSL included.

Custom domain

  • Open Settings → Domains and enter your domain (e.g. blog.example.com or example.com).
  • Add the A record shown there at your DNS provider — Type A, Name = your domain, Value = the IP we display.
  • Wait a few minutes for DNS, then hit Verify & connect. SSL is issued automatically.
  • Publishing after verification serves the blog from your domain; the subdomain copy is de-indexed so rankings consolidate.
Want the blog at example.com/blog instead of a separate domain? That's subfolder hosting — see "Subfolder hosting" in the sidebar. It's the structure search engines reward most.
