title: Custom domains
description: Use your own domain for your podcast website and feed.
---

Every podcast's [website](/publishing-and-distribution/your-podcast-website) and RSS feed live at a free `yourshow.jellypod.com` subdomain from its title, the address you [publish and distribute](/publishing-and-distribution) from. Connecting your own domain needs Business or Enterprise (see [plan limits](/account-and-billing/plans-and-pricing#plan-limits)); on other plans, saving one prompts you to upgrade.

## Connect a custom domain

1. **Enter your domain**

    Open your podcast, click Share Podcast, then Edit Domain next to Podcast Link. Type the domain in Custom domain, for example `podcast.yourcompany.com` or `yourcompany.com`, without `http://`, `https://`, or `www.`, and click Save Domain.

2. **Add DNS records**

    At your domain registrar, add the [DNS records](#dns-records) below.

3. **Check the status**

    Reopen Edit Domain. The status under your domain refreshes about every 10 seconds until it reads Valid Configuration.

### DNS records

| Type | Name | Value | TTL | Use for |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| A | blank or `@` | `76.76.21.21` | 86400 | An apex domain such as `yourcompany.com` |
| CNAME | `www` or your prefix, such as `podcast` | `cname.jellypod.com.` | 86400 | A subdomain or the `www.` version |

An apex domain also gets its `www.` version, redirected to the apex. A subdomain registers only itself.

### Domain status

| Status | What to do |
| --- | --- |
| Valid Configuration | Done. Propagation can take a few more minutes. |
| Pending Verification | Wait while verification runs. |
| Invalid Configuration | Check that your records match exactly and nothing conflicts, then allow up to 48 hours. |
| Domain Not Found | Check the spelling and that the domain is registered, then allow up to 48 hours. |
| Unknown Error | Recheck your records and registration, then try again in a few minutes. |
| Domain already in use | The domain is connected elsewhere. |

[Contact support](/#get-help-and-support) if a domain is already in use, saving fails with "Could not register this domain," or an Unknown Error persists.

Once the domain is live, `yourshow.jellypod.com` redirects to it, and your QR code and the [RSS feed](/publishing-and-distribution/your-rss-feed) URL shown in Jellypod switch to it. `/rss` keeps answering on both hosts.

## Remove a custom domain

In Edit Domain, click the trash icon next to your domain and confirm Remove domain. The podcast is no longer reachable at that address.

## Change your subdomain [#changing-your-subdomain]

In Edit Domain, type a new name in Subdomain ("This subdomain is already taken" means pick another), click Save Domain, and confirm Change subdomain.

:::warning
The old subdomain is not redirected. Its website returns not found and its RSS feed tells podcast apps the feed is gone. Update the feed URL in each app and directory, and see [update the feed URL on a platform](/publishing-and-distribution/your-rss-feed#how-do-i-update-the-rss-url-on-a-platform) if a platform keeps the old one.
