Free subdomain or your own domain?
When the free link is fine, and when it is worth pointing a real domain at your site.
Every site you publish gets a free link straight away, so you can share it the moment it looks right. A custom domain is the next step, not a prerequisite.
Stay on the free link when
- You are testing an idea or a second service line.
- You mainly get work through referrals and social profiles.
- You want something live today with nothing to configure.
Move to your own domain when
- You are printing the address on a van, a card or a shopfront.
- You are running ads and want the address to look established.
- You want email on the same name as your website.
How connecting works
You can connect a domain you already own. Connecting an existing domain means adding two A records and two TXT records at your registrar; the builder then checks them for you and provisions the certificate automatically. Custom domains are part of the Premium plan.
