# Publishing to the Web

*Skill Level: Intermediate*

## Before You Begin

* Only Account Owners can add/change Domains in account settings.
* Know the basics of [domains](https://help.adalo.com/glossary#domain), [subdomains](https://help.adalo.com/glossary#subdomain), [DNS Records](https://help.adalo.com/glossary#dns-record), and [DNS Providers](https://help.adalo.com/glossary#dns-provider).
* If you plan to use a Custom Domain, make sure you have purchased the domain name already.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Your custom domain cannot include the phrase "adalo.com" or "adalo". These checks have been added to ensure non-Adalo affiliates do not impersonate the organisation. Your domain will NOT connect if your custom domain includes adalo or adalo.com.
