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 is two DNS records: one to route your domain to Makenot.work, one to verify you own it. Add both, then click Verify.

Setup

1. Add Your Domain

Go to Settings > Domain
Enter your domain (e.g., shop.yourdomain.com or yourdomain.com)
Click “Add”

Domain names must be valid hostnames. You cannot add makenot.work or its subdomains.

2. Point Your Domain

Add a CNAME record sending your domain to Makenot.work:

Record Type	Host	Value
CNAME	`yourdomain.com` (or subdomain)	`connect.makenot.work`

If your DNS is on Cloudflare, set this record to “DNS only” (grey cloud), not “Proxied.” A proxied record routes through your own Cloudflare instead of to Makenot.work, which blocks both the SSL certificate and your page from loading.

For an apex/root domain (yourdomain.com with no subdomain), most providers don’t allow a plain CNAME. Use their CNAME flattening or ALIAS feature pointed at connect.makenot.work (Cloudflare does this automatically). If your provider supports neither, use a subdomain like shop.yourdomain.com or www.yourdomain.com.

3. 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 both records, return to Settings > Domain and click “Verify.” The platform checks via DNS-over-HTTPS (Cloudflare resolver), so verification completes within two minutes.

4. SSL Certificate

Once verified and routed, Makenot.work provisions SSL automatically via on-demand TLS. A Let’s Encrypt certificate is issued the first time a visitor connects. No action needed on your end. (DNS changes can take up to 24 hours to propagate, so the first load may briefly show a certificate notice until the routing record resolves.)

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/username URL

One domain per account. To change domains, remove the current one and add the new one.
