# Custom Domains |

|
| 3 |
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 |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
### 1. Add Your Domain |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
1. Go to Settings > Domain |
| 10 |
2. Enter your domain (e.g., `shop.yourdomain.com` or `yourdomain.com`) |
| 11 |
3. Click "Add" |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
Domain names must be valid hostnames. You cannot add `makenot.work` or its subdomains. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
### 2. Verify Ownership |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
Add a DNS TXT record to prove you own the domain: |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
| TXT | `_mnw-verify.yourdomain.com` | `mnw-verify-{verification-code}` | |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
The verification code is shown on the settings page after adding your domain. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
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. |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
### 3. SSL Certificate |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
Once verified, Makenot.work provisions SSL automatically via on-demand TLS. A certificate is issued the first time a visitor connects. |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
## DNS Configuration |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
Point your domain to Makenot.work by adding a CNAME record: |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
| CNAME | `yourdomain.com` (or subdomain) | `makenot.work` | |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
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`. |
| 40 |
|
| 41 |
## Managing Your Domain |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
From Settings > Domain you can: |
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
- **View** your current domain and verification status |
| 46 |
- **Remove** your domain to revert to the default `makenot.work/u/username` URL |
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
One domain per account. To change domains, remove the current one and add the new one. |
