Custom Domains
Every site on WebStadia gets a free *.subsite.cc subdomain. You can also connect your own custom domain.
Adding a custom domain
- Go to your site's Settings tab
- Enable Custom Domain
- Enter your domain (e.g.,
example.comorblog.example.com) - Click Save
DNS configuration
Add a CNAME record pointing your domain to your WebStadia subdomain:
| Type | Name | Value |
|---|---|---|
| CNAME | your-domain.com | your-slug.subsite.cc |
For example, if your site's subdomain is my-site.subsite.cc:
| Type | Name | Value |
|---|---|---|
| CNAME | blog.example.com | my-site.subsite.cc |
tip
For root domains (e.g., example.com without www), some DNS providers don't support CNAME records. Use your provider's "CNAME flattening" or "ALIAS" record type instead. Cloudflare, Netlify DNS, and Route53 all support this.
SSL certificates
SSL certificates are automatically provisioned via Cloudflare once your DNS records are pointing to WebStadia. This usually takes a few minutes.
- All sites are served over HTTPS by default
- HTTP requests are automatically redirected to HTTPS
- Certificates auto-renew - no manual action needed
Changing your subdomain
You can change your free *.subsite.cc subdomain in Settings → Subdomain. The subdomain must be:
- 3-63 characters long
- Lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens only
- No leading or trailing hyphens
Troubleshooting
- SSL not working? - Make sure your CNAME record is correct. SSL provisioning can take up to 15 minutes after DNS propagation. You can retry SSL in Settings.
- Domain not resolving? - DNS changes can take up to 48 hours to propagate worldwide. Check propagation at dnschecker.org.
- "Custom domain not available for your plan"? - Custom domains require a paid plan. Upgrade in Settings.
