# Custom domain

> Serve Sidekick from your own domain.

Open **Settings → Sidekick → Domains** to control the address people use to reach Sidekick. You can use a managed subdomain with no setup, or point your own domain at Sidekick.

## Managed subdomain

By default, Sidekick is served from a subdomain under the Sidekick root domain. There's nothing to configure: it works as soon as your workspace is created.

## Custom domain

To serve Sidekick from a domain your company controls, add the domain and point it at Sidekick with DNS records.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Add the domain">
    In **Settings → Sidekick → Domains**, enter the domain you want to use.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add the DNS records">
    Sidekick shows the DNS records to add at your domain provider. Add each one exactly as shown.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Verify">
    Once the records have propagated, select **Verify**. Sidekick checks that the records resolve correctly before it starts serving traffic on the domain.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Note>
  DNS changes can take time to propagate. If verification fails right after adding the records, wait and try again before assuming something is wrong.
</Note>

## Delete a domain

Removing a domain stops Sidekick from serving traffic on it. People who try to reach Sidekick at that address afterward won't reach it; make sure any custom domain is no longer in use before you delete it.
