# Domains

## Before You Begin

* Only Account Owners can make changes to Domain Settings.
* This section covers what you will find in the Account Settings Section of the builder. If you want a complete publishing walkthrough, check out our [**Publishing to Web Help Doc.**](/publishing-apps/publishing-to-the-web.md)

## Adalo Subdomain

Every team gets an Adalo subdomain (for example, `yourteam.adalo.com`). Team admins can edit this subdomain.

**Subdomain rules:**

* At least 5 characters
* Can only contain letters, numbers, and dashes
* Cannot start or end with a dash
* Cannot have consecutive dashes (for example, "my--app")

Click the subdomain to edit it, then click **Save**.

## Adding a Custom Domain

To use your own domain (for example, `app.yourdomain.com`):

1. Enter your domain in the **Add Custom Domain** field and click **Add**.
2. Follow the DNS configuration instructions provided:
   * Go to your domain registrar or DNS provider.
   * Add a **CNAME record** with:
     * **Name/Host:** Your subdomain (for example, "app")
     * **Type:** CNAME
     * **Points To:** `hosting.adalo.com`
3. Click **Test Setup** to verify your DNS is configured correctly.
4. Once verified, click **Finish**.

**Note:** DNS changes can take time to propagate. If the test fails, wait a few minutes and try again.

### Managing Custom Domains

Your custom domains are listed in this section. For each domain you can:

* **Refresh SSL Certificate:** Click the refresh icon to reset the SSL certificate if you're experiencing issues with HTTPS. Check out our [**Resetting SSL Help Doc**](/adalo-account/domains/resetting-ssl.md) for a detailed walkthrough. 
* **Delete:** Click the delete icon to remove a custom domain.
