Who this is for
Authors with their own purchased domain (e.g.,janedoeauthor.com).
Overview
cabinspress.com/authors/jane-doe URL.
How it works
- Author enters their domain in the Custom Domain tab
- CabinsPress shows the exact DNS records to add at the domain registrar
- Author copies those records to their registrar (Cloudflare, Namecheap, GoDaddy, etc.)
- CabinsPress verifies the records and automatically provisions a security certificate
- The entire author site (homepage, books, blog, shop, ARC pages, signup forms, account pages) is served from the custom domain
- The old
/authors/{slug}URLs redirect to the equivalent custom domain URL
Common questions
- DNS propagation can take minutes to hours; verification is automatic and retries
- Authors can change or remove a custom domain later
- This process can take 5-30 min normally, but there can also be delays due to network issues with the DNS. if you website is not live within 30min email, support@cabinspress.com to get this resolved.
- Sometimes the CAA field will be entered as separate fields. If this is the case see the example below. 0 should be set on the flag. Tag should set to issue. Domain should set to letsencrypt.org.
