Dashboard > Custom Domain

Every blog starts on a free Superblog address, such as yourblog.superblog.click. You can move it to your own domain at any time. Connecting a custom domain needs a paid plan.

Choose a format

FormatExampleBest for
Subdomainblog.example.comThe simplest setup: one DNS record. Your main website stays where it is.
Subdirectoryexample.com/blogBest for SEO, because the blog shares your main website's authority. Needs a small change on your main website, which the dashboard walks you through.
Root domainexample.comWhen Superblog is your whole website.

Read subdomain vs subfolder for the reasoning.

If you enter your root domain, Superblog asks whether you really want your whole website on Superblog, and offers a subdomain or subdirectory instead.

Connect it

  1. Go to Custom Domain.
  2. Enter the address you want, such as blog.example.com or example.com/blog.
  3. Click Connect Domain.
  4. Follow the steps the dashboard shows for your format:
  1. Deploy, so your blog is built for its new address.

Superblog checks your website first. If it redirects to www, or its pages use a different address, Superblog recommends that address, so your blog matches the rest of your site.

Check the setup

The page shows the domain's Current Status, your Blog address, and whether your main website's Robots.txt points search engines to your blog's sitemap. If it says Needs attention, click View details for the line to add.

Disconnect it

Click Disconnect domain. Your blog stops being served at that domain and returns to its Superblog address. You can connect again later.
