Custom Domain Setup
Connect your own domain to your PageMuse landing pages for a seamless brand experience. This guide walks you through setting up a custom subdomain that points to your PageMuse-hosted pages.
Overview
PageMuse provides each organization with a unique subdomain in the format <your-org>.pagemuse.app. To use your own branded domain, you'll create a CNAME record that points from your custom subdomain (like pages.yourcompany.com) to your PageMuse subdomain.
Before You Start
What you'll need:
- Access to your domain's DNS settings
- Your PageMuse organization subdomain (e.g.,
nike.pagemuse.app) - Write access to your domain registrar or DNS provider
Recommended subdomain formats:
pages.yourcompany.comlanding.yourcompany.compromo.yourcompany.comcampaigns.yourcompany.com
Step-by-Step Setup Guide
Step 1: Locate Your PageMuse Subdomain
Your PageMuse subdomain can be found in your account dashboard:
- Log into your PageMuse account
- Navigate to Settings
- Copy your assigned subdomain (format:
your-org.pagemuse.app)
Step 2: Access Your DNS Settings
Access your domain's DNS management panel through one of these common providers:
| DNS Provider | Access Method |
|---|---|
| GoDaddy | Domain Manager → DNS Management |
| Namecheap | Domain List → Manage → Advanced DNS |
| Cloudflare | Dashboard → DNS |
| Route 53 | Hosted Zones → Select Domain |
| Google Domains | My Domains → DNS |
Step 3: Create the CNAME Record
Add a new CNAME record with the following configuration:
| Field | Value | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Type | CNAME | CNAME |
| Name/Host | Your chosen subdomain | pages |
| Value/Points to | Your PageMuse subdomain | acme.pagemuse.app |
| TTL | Auto | Auto |
Verification and Testing
Step 4: Verify DNS Propagation
DNS changes can take 24-48 hours to fully propagate. You can check the status using tools online at https://dnschecker.org.
Step 5: Test Your Custom Domain
Once propagation is complete:
- Open your browser.
- Copy the URL for one of your landing page and open the link.
- You should see your PageMuse landing page.
- Verify the SSL certificate shows as valid.
SSL Certificate Setup
PageMuse automatically provides SSL certificates for your custom domain.
Troubleshooting Common Issues
CNAME Not Working
Problem: Custom domain shows DNS error
Solutions:
- Verify CNAME record syntax is correct
- Ensure you're not using the full domain in the "Name" field
- Check that TTL isn't set too high (keep Auto or under 3600 seconds)
- Wait for full DNS propagation (up to 48 hours)
Advanced Configuration
Custom CAA settings
If you have set up CAA records for your domain, then you will need to add these records too or you can remove the CAA entirely. If you have CAA records on the subdomain, those will also have to be removed.
yourcompany.com. IN CAA 0 issue "pki.goog" yourcompany.com. IN CAA 0 issue "letsencrypt.org" yourcompany.com. IN CAA 0 issue "ssl.com"
High-risk domains
If you are a popular website (Alex rank 1-1000), then we might need to do additional steps to verify your domain for security reasons. Please get in touch with us at [email protected] to set up the custom sub-domain.
Custom CDN
If you have a custom CDN obfuscating the DNS records, then you have to clear the cache for us to validate your changes in DNS records.
