# Connect Your Domain

> Learn how to connect your own domain to the FeatPaper viewer.

<Note>
  Custom domain is an **Enterprise plan** exclusive feature. It is not available on other plans.
</Note>

## What is a Custom Domain?

With a custom domain, you can serve FeatPaper viewer links under your own domain (e.g., `docs.mycompany.com`).
This delivers a brand-consistent experience to recipients and increases trust.

## Registering a Domain

<Steps>
  <Step title="Go to Settings">
    Navigate to **Settings > Custom Domain** in the sidebar.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Enter Domain">
    Enter the domain you want to connect (e.g., `docs.mycompany.com`) and click the **Register** button.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Check DNS Records">
    After registration, review the DNS record information displayed. You need to configure two records.
  </Step>
</Steps>

***

## DNS Configuration

After registering the domain, you need to add the following two records in your DNS management page.

| Record               | Type  | Purpose                                                    | Value                       |
| -------------------- | ----- | ---------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------- |
| **ACME Certificate** | CNAME | Domain ownership verification for SSL certificate issuance | Value provided by FeatPaper |
| **CloudFront CNAME** | CNAME | Routes viewer traffic to FeatPaper servers                 | Value provided by FeatPaper |

<Steps>
  <Step title="Access DNS Management Page">
    Log in to the DNS service managing your domain (e.g., AWS Route 53, Cloudflare, GoDaddy, etc.).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add ACME Certificate Record">
    Add the ACME verification CNAME record as instructed by FeatPaper.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add CloudFront CNAME Record">
    Add the CloudFront distribution CNAME record as instructed by FeatPaper.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Wait for Propagation">
    DNS record changes may take up to 48 hours to propagate.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Tip>
  Most DNS services complete propagation within a few minutes. 48 hours is the maximum possible time.
</Tip>

## Domain Status

The registered domain goes through the following statuses before activation.

| Status       | Description                                                                            |
| ------------ | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **PENDING**  | Waiting for DNS record configuration. Verification has not yet been completed.         |
| **VERIFIED** | DNS records have been confirmed. SSL certificate issuance is in progress.              |
| **APPLIED**  | The custom domain has been successfully applied. It is now available in the viewer.    |
| **FAILED**   | Verification failed due to a DNS configuration issue. Check the records and try again. |

<Note>
  If the status is **FAILED**, verify that the DNS records were entered correctly. After making corrections, click the **Re-verify** button in FeatPaper to run verification again.
</Note>

***

## Deleting a Domain

If you no longer want to use a custom domain, click the **Delete Domain** button in Settings.

<Warning>
  Deleting a domain will immediately break any existing links shared under that domain. Notify recipients of existing shared links before deletion.
</Warning>

***

## Important Notes

* Only subdomains (e.g., `docs.mycompany.com`) are supported. Root domains (e.g., `mycompany.com`) cannot be used.
* Only one custom domain can be connected per workspace.
* SSL certificates are automatically issued and renewed, so no separate management is required.
