## Set up custom domains

In **Trickle Pro** and **Premium** subscriptions (see details [here](https://trickle.so/#pricing)), you can connect your own domain to a project or set up a custom .[trickle.host](http://trickle.host) domain. Follow these steps to add and manage **custom domains**:

<Steps>
  <Step title="Step 1">
    Open the project sidebar and click the **Workspace settings** icon next to your username.

    Alternatively, go to a specific project, click the **Publish** button, then select **+ Custom domain**.

  </Step>

  <Step title="Step 2">
    Click **Sites**, then select **New domain**.

  </Step>

  <Step title="Step 3">
    Choose **Custom Domain** and click **Continue**.

  </Step>

  <Step title="Step 4">
    Enter a subdomain and click **Continue**. (Note: only subdomains are supported.)

  </Step>

  <Step title="Step 5">
    Go to your domain registrar and add a **CNAME record** pointing to the provided address.

    <img src="https://mintcdn.com/trickle/Td9BSDDiVTZl7-Gu/Assets/domains/validate.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=Td9BSDDiVTZl7-Gu&q=85&s=62e2bdc402f2968cbde5f46af0cf08bc" alt="Validate Pn" width="1920" height="1080" data-path="Assets/domains/validate.png" />

    If you need help, see these guides for adding CNAME records with different registrars:

    * [GoDaddy](https://www.godaddy.com/en-sg/help/add-a-cname-record-19236)
    * [Namecheap](https://www.namecheap.com/support/knowledgebase/article.aspx/9646/2237/how-to-create-a-cname-record-for-your-domain/)
    * [Squarespace](https://support.squarespace.com/hc/en-us/articles/360002101888-Adding-DNS-records-to-your-domain)
    * [Wix](https://support.wix.com/en/article/adding-or-updating-cname-records-in-your-wix-account)
  </Step>

  <Step title="Step 6">
    After adding the **CNAME record**, click **Validate**:

    * If validation succeeds, the project will be bound to the custom domain automatically.
    * If validation fails:
      * Return to your domain registrar to check the CNAME configuration.
      * If the configuration is correct, wait up to 48 hours before trying again.
      * If the issue persists, contact Trickle Support: [support@trickle.so](mailto:support@trickle.so).
