Custom domains
Put your site on your own address — www.yournews.com — instead of yourname.publishme.in.
Your site always works at its free PublishMe address. Plans include 1, 2 or 5 domains of your own (Starter, Growth, Pro).

Connect a domain#
- Open Domains and press Connect domain.
- Type the address with
www—www.yournews.com— and press Continue. - Choose where you bought the domain — GoDaddy, Hostinger, BigRock, Cloudflare or another — for click-by-click directions.
- At your domain provider, add the record PublishMe shows. Copy each value with the copy button rather than typing it.
- Back in PublishMe, press I've added the record — check now. Or I'll do it later: PublishMe keeps checking.
| Type | Name / Host | Points to |
|---|---|---|
CNAME | www | sites.publishme.in |
- Delete any other
A,AAAAorCNAMErecord for the same name first — they get in the way. - On Cloudflare, set the record to DNS only (the grey cloud).
- Your email records (MX) aren't touched.
Waiting for it to connect#
The domain goes through Add the DNS record → We find it → Secure certificate → Live. Most providers take a few minutes; some take a few hours.
| Status | Means |
|---|---|
| Setting up | We're still looking for the record. Checked every minute for the first hour, then less often. |
| Connected | Working, with a secure (https) certificate. |
| Not connected | Not found within 7 days. Fix the record and press Try again. |
| DNS changed | The record was there and has changed or gone. |
Make it your main address#
Once a domain is Connected, its menu has Make main address. Every other address — including the free one — then forwards to it, keeping the rest of the link, and search engines are told this is the one to show.
Remove a domain#
Remove domain disconnects it. Removing the main domain moves your site back to its PublishMe address at once.
