Custom Domains
You can point your own domain at your Makenot.work profile so fans reach you at yourdomain.com instead of makenot.work/u/username.
Setup
1. Add Your Domain
- Go to Settings > Domain
- Enter your domain (e.g.,
shop.yourdomain.comoryourdomain.com) - Click “Add”
Domain names must be valid hostnames. You cannot add makenot.work or its subdomains.
2. Verify Ownership
Add a DNS TXT record to prove you own the domain:
| Record Type | Host | Value |
|---|---|---|
| TXT | _mnw-verify.yourdomain.com | mnw-verify-{verification-code} |
The verification code is shown on the settings page after adding your domain.
After adding the DNS record, return to Settings > Domain and click “Verify.” The platform checks via DNS-over-HTTPS (Cloudflare resolver), so verification completes within two minutes.
3. SSL Certificate
Once verified, Makenot.work provisions SSL automatically via on-demand TLS. A certificate is issued the first time a visitor connects.
DNS Configuration
Point your domain to Makenot.work by adding a CNAME record:
| Record Type | Host | Value |
|---|---|---|
| CNAME | yourdomain.com (or subdomain) | makenot.work |
If your DNS provider does not allow a CNAME on the apex domain, use their CNAME flattening or ALIAS record feature, or use a subdomain like shop.yourdomain.com.
Managing Your Domain
From Settings > Domain you can:
- View your current domain and verification status
- Remove your domain to revert to the default
makenot.work/u/usernameURL
One domain per account. To change domains, remove the current one and add the new one.
