Custom domains

Verify a custom domain with a DNS check, then attach it to your managed WordPress site from the Domains tab.

Every site is reachable on its subdomain out of the box. To serve it on your own domain, open the site's Domains tab: the console shows you the DNS record to create, then click Verify — the same pattern used by custom domains on App Platform.

Add and verify a custom domain

1. 1
   Open the Domains tab

   From your site's page, open Domains and enter the domain you want to use.
2. 2
   Create the DNS record

   The console shows you exactly which DNS record to create. Add it at your DNS provider, pointing your domain at your site.
3. 3
   Click Verify

   Once DNS has propagated, click Verify. The console re-checks the record and confirms as soon as it resolves correctly.

What Verify actually checks

Clicking Verify doesn't just mark the domain as attached — the console looks up the DNS record you were asked to create and confirms it resolves to NevTan and matches what your site expects. Verify only passes once that lookup succeeds; until then it reports the domain as not yet verified rather than attaching it in a broken state.

Once verified

The Domains tab shows the domain as attached and live, and a TLS certificate is issued for it as part of the same flow — the same way it happens for App Platform custom domains. Re-open the tab any time to confirm its status or to detach it and fall back to the default subdomain.
