Use your own domain for your website.
People should arrive at your name. Point your domain at Brandidos and your site is served from it over HTTPS, with your free brandidos.me address working the whole time.

- Your domain, served over HTTPS
- Certificate set up for you
- Free brandidos.me address on every plan
What you get.
A free address from day one
Every plan gets a brandidos.me address the moment you sign up, so your site is live before your domain is.
HTTPS without the setup
The certificate is issued automatically once your DNS records take effect.
Two records to add
You add CNAME records where you bought your domain. The exact records come by email.
The bare domain or www
yourname.com becomes your main address once it connects. If your DNS provider cannot point the root, www works with every provider.
One address for search engines
Every page tells search engines your main address, so your domain and your brandidos.me address never compete as duplicates.
We tell you when it's live
You get an email when your domain is serving your site, and a reminder if the records are still missing after three days.
How it works.
-
1
Choose My own domain
At signup, pick My own domain and type it in. You get a brandidos.me address as well.
-
2
Add the records
Add the CNAME records from the email where your domain's DNS is managed.
-
3
Go live
Once the records take effect, your site opens on your domain over HTTPS and the other of www or the bare domain redirects to it.
Included in every plan, Free too
0% Brandidos transaction fee on every plan. Start free on a brandidos address and upgrade when you are ready.
Questions.
Which plan includes my own domain?
Every plan, Free included, along with a brandidos.me address that keeps working.
Can I add my domain after signing up?
Yes. Send it to the platform team and they add it to your site. You get the same records by email.
Does my brandidos.me address stop working?
No. It keeps working, so links you shared before still open your site.
My domain's DNS is on Cloudflare. Anything special?
Set the records to DNS only (grey cloud), and remove other A, AAAA or CNAME records for www and the root.
Do I need to buy a certificate?
No. HTTPS is set up automatically for your domain.
What happens if I move to the Free plan?
Your site goes back to its brandidos.me address, and anyone who opens your domain lands on the same page there. Upgrade again and your domain is your main address straight away.
