Custom Domains Overview

By default, published tents live on your workspace’s subdomain (your-slug.tented-pages.com). On paid plans you can serve them from a branded custom domain instead — like pages.yourcompany.com — using a CNAME alias, while Tented keeps handling hosting, SSL, and the CDN.
Looking for your email sending domain? That’s a separate setup — see Setting Up Email.

​
How It Works

  1. You choose a subdomain on a domain you own (for example, pages.yourcompany.com).
  2. You add a CNAME record at your DNS provider pointing that subdomain to Tented.
  3. Tented links the alias to your workspace and provisions SSL.
  4. Your published tents become available at your branded URLs.

​
Setting It Up

Custom domain setup is currently handled with our team’s help:
  1. Go to Workspace Settings and find Branded Domain under Workspace Details.
  2. Click Contact support (or email support@tented.ai) with the domain you’d like to use.
  3. We’ll send you the exact CNAME record to add at your DNS provider and confirm once it’s verified. As part of setup we also register your domain for form spam protection, so forms on your branded domain stay protected.
Once configured, your branded domain appears in the Branded Domain field, and newly published tents use it automatically.

​
Nice URLs Without a Custom Domain

Even without a custom domain, you can make URLs shareable with custom slugs — set one in the publish dialog or via Tent Actions > Customize URL:

​
Troubleshooting

  • DNS not verifying? CNAME changes can take a while to propagate (up to 48 hours with some providers). Also make sure the record isn’t being proxied by your DNS provider.
  • Old URLs still shared? Your tented-pages.com URLs continue to work — nothing breaks when you add a branded domain.
  • Seeing a verification error in a form on your branded domain? The domain likely isn’t registered for form spam protection yet. Contact support@tented.ai and we’ll register it right away.
