Custom domains
Point a domain you own at a team's or an organisation's public pages on Aden, with DNS records, verification and a website/profile switch.
What it is
Your Aden pages normally live on aden.space. A custom domain puts them on a
domain you own, martingarrix.com, links.mylabel.com, with the certificate
and routing handled for you.
Both surfaces work the same way:
- Team → Settings → Domains: the domain serves that artist's public pages.
- Organisation → Settings → Domains: the domain serves the organisation's public pages.
Using it
- Add the domain. Click Add existing, type it without
http://orwww, and add it. If your DNS is on Cloudflare, set the records to DNS-only (grey cloud): proxied records break verification. - Set the DNS records. The setup guide shows the exact records to create at your registrar. They usually propagate in minutes, sometimes in a few hours.
- Verify. Click Verify. Once it turns green the domain is live.
- Choose what it opens. The Website switch decides what the root path shows: on, it opens the website page; off, it opens the profile.
Teams can also buy a domain from inside Aden, and turn on email sending for a root domain they own. Both are team-only: an organisation connects a domain it already owns.
Removing a domain detaches it immediately; the DNS records at your registrar are yours to clean up.
Branding
Lets a team attach their own domain name to their Aden profile or a specific release, configure email sending from that domain, buy new domains through the built-in registrar, and create personal colour themes for the editor.
Custom links
Short links on a team or organisation profile, or platform-wide from the admin, that redirect to any URL and count their clicks.
