Connect a Custom Domain

A custom domain lets visitors open a MiniUp Site at a hostname you own. Configure it in the Site’s Page settings → Custom Domain panel when the feature is enabled for your account.

Before connecting a domain

You need a published Site, permission to manage its settings, and access to the domain’s DNS records. Choose the exact hostname, such as portal.example.com. Check Plans and the panel for current availability.

Add and verify a custom domain

  1. Open Dashboard → your Site → Page → Page settings → Custom Domain.
  2. Enter the hostname in Domain and save it.
  3. Copy the DNS record type, host, and value displayed by MiniUp into your domain’s DNS settings. Use the panel’s current values rather than values from an old guide.
  4. Remove conflicting records for that same hostname if necessary. Do not change unrelated domain records.
  5. Return to MiniUp and use the verification or status check control after DNS changes have taken effect.
  6. Open the hostname over HTTPS and test the Site’s pages, assets, and data.

Example: a branded member portal

Connect portal.example.com to your existing MiniUp Site. Keep Invite-only access enabled. Test a member sign-in on the new hostname and ensure application requests use relative Site Function URLs such as /api/functions/my-api/bootstrap.

Troubleshoot domain verification

Check spelling, the exact hostname, and the record values shown in the panel. A root domain and www are different hostnames; configure the one you intend to use. DNS updates may take time. If a domain was connected elsewhere, remove the old conflicting assignment before retrying.

Use the domain panel to remove a connection when it is no longer needed, and update shared links and DNS accordingly. A custom domain changes the address, not who is authorized to use the Site or its datasets.
