.There are a few important rules to follow when adding your domain to ensure a smooth setup:
You must already have purchased your domain from a DNS provider.
When entering your domain, you must include a subdomain. This is typically
www
, but any other subdomain works too (ex.:careers.my-domain.com
orportfolio.my-domain.com
).
If you want your root domain to point to your Notion Site, we recommend setting up your subdomain to
www
and setting up a redirect with your DNS provider. Here are some instructions from common providers for how to set this up:You’ll be prompted to go to your DNS provider and add a CNAME record for the domain you want to connect. Set the CNAME target to
external.notion.site

Next, add a TXT record for the domain. You can copy the record name and value for easy use.

Once you add a custom domain, you’ll see it and its status in your list of domains.
When you use a custom domain with Notion Sites, you’ll also have the option to remove any Notion branding for that custom domain. Learn more about customizing your Sites in this article →
