# Custom domains
Source: https://docs.aden.space/docs/help/promote-grow/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 [#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 [#using-it]

1. **Add the domain.** Click **Add existing**, type it without `http://` or
   `www`, and add it. If your DNS is on Cloudflare, set the records to DNS-only
   (grey cloud): proxied records break verification.
2. **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.
3. **Verify.** Click **Verify**. Once it turns green the domain is live.
4. **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.
