How to connect a custom domain to Orbit

On any paid plan, Orbit serves your public content from a domain you own: landing pages, forms, published notes, your booking page, and project boards. Connect the domain in Settings, add the DNS records Orbit shows you, verify, and pick what the domain serves. HTTPS is handled for you.

How do I connect my domain to Orbit?

  1. 1Open Settings and find the custom domain section. Enter the domain or subdomain you want to use, like pages.yourbrand.com.
  2. 2Add the DNS records Orbit shows you at your DNS host. This is one or two records, copied and pasted.
  3. 3Click Verify. Once DNS propagates, Orbit confirms the domain is active and provisions HTTPS.
  4. 4Pick the homepage: the page, form, note, booking page, or project board that loads at the domain root. Editors also have a set-as-homepage button on their share surface.
  5. 5Share links. Share popovers let you choose which connected domain a link uses, and any connected domain serves all your public routes, so previously shared links keep working.

What can a connected domain serve?

Everything public you make in Orbit: published landing pages, forms and quizzes, published notes, your booking page, and published project boards. One domain covers all of them at once, and you decide which single item answers at the root as the homepage.

A subdomain of your existing site is the usual choice, like book.yourbrand.com for your booking page or go.yourbrand.com for campaign pages, because it leaves your main site untouched.

Custom domains are on every paid plan (Lite and up). On the free plan, everything still publishes on Orbit links, so nothing blocks you from launching before you upgrade.

Frequently asked questions

Is a custom domain free in Orbit?+

Custom domains are on every paid plan, from $8/mo. The free plan publishes pages, forms, notes, bookings, and boards on Orbit links, so you can launch first and move to your own domain when you upgrade.

What DNS records does Orbit need?+

Orbit shows you the exact records for your domain when you connect it, and you paste them at your DNS host. After you click Verify and DNS propagates, the domain goes active and HTTPS is provisioned automatically.

Can one domain serve several things?+

Yes. A connected domain serves all your public content: pages, forms, notes, your booking page, and project boards. You choose one item as the homepage for the domain root, and everything else lives on its own path.

Do old shared links break when I connect a domain?+

No. Links you shared before keep working, and share popovers let you pick which domain new links use.

Can I use a subdomain instead of my root domain?+

Yes, and it is usually the better choice: something like book.yourbrand.com or go.yourbrand.com keeps your main website exactly as it is.
