Custom domains

You can connect a custom domain to your site instead of using the default *.capable-sites.com subdomain.

#Adding a custom domain

Go to the Domains tab in your site settings
Enter your custom domain (e.g., docs.yourcompany.com)
The system will begin provisioning an SSL certificate and provide you with a CNAME record for DNS validation

#DNS configuration

After adding a domain, you need to create two DNS records with your DNS provider:

Validation CNAME: Points the validation hostname to the ACM validation target. This proves you own the domain and allows the SSL certificate to be issued.
Domain CNAME: Points your custom domain to the CloudFront distribution domain provided in the domain details.

#Provisioning status

Domain provisioning goes through several stages:

Status	Description
Pending validation	Waiting for you to add the DNS validation CNAME record
Validating	DNS record detected, certificate is being validated
Provisioning	Certificate issued, CloudFront distribution is being created
Active	Domain is fully configured and serving your site
Failed	Provisioning failed — check the failure reason for details

#Setting a primary domain

If you have a custom domain, you can set it as the primary domain. The primary domain is used in canonical URLs and is the preferred URL for your site. Only domains with active status can be set as primary.

#Removing a domain

Removing a custom domain cleans up the associated SSL certificate and CloudFront distribution. Your site remains accessible via the default *.capable-sites.com subdomain.
