Use a custom domain for your status page

Give your status page a professional look by hosting it on your own domain, with HTTPS handled for you automatically.

Overview

• Replace the default InfraNest address with your own, like status.example.com.
• InfraNest handles verification and HTTPS setup for you — no certificates to manage.
• You'll need access to your domain's DNS settings to add one record.

Set up a custom domain

1. Open your status page and go to Custom domain.
2. Select Add a custom domain.
3. InfraNest shows you the exact CNAME target to use. Copy it and add it as a CNAME record in your domain's DNS settings.

4. Return to InfraNest — the page will show Pending verification while it checks your DNS record.
5. Once InfraNest confirms the record, the status changes to Domain verified, and HTTPS is set up automatically. There's nothing further to configure.

NoteIf your domain's DNS is already managed in InfraNest, you can add the CNAME directly from the DNS module instead of switching tools. Custom domains may only be available on certain plans.

Troubleshooting

• Domain error: Double-check that the CNAME record matches the CNAME target shown by InfraNest exactly, including any trailing characters.
• Not pointing to the right target: Your DNS record exists but points somewhere else — edit it to match the target InfraNest gave you.
• Domain pending: DNS changes can take time to spread across the internet. Wait a bit and check back; verification will complete automatically once your DNS provider updates.

TipDNS changes aren't always instant. If verification hasn't completed after a few hours, confirm the record was saved correctly with your DNS provider.
