# 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

1. Go to Settings > Domain
2. Enter your domain (e.g., `shop.yourdomain.com` or `yourdomain.com`)
3. 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/username` URL

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