Connecting a Custom Domain
Connect your inblog-powered blog using a subdomain (e.g., blog.example.com) or subdirectory (e.g., example.com/blog), with guidance on DNS configuration.
Overview
The domain setup section may require developer assistance, particularly for DNS configuration or code implementation. Technical support sessions are available if needed.
You can connect your inblog-powered blog using one of two approaches:
- Subdomain (e.g.,
blog.example.com) - Subdirectory (e.g.,
example.com/blog)
Subdomain Setup
In the Custom Domain settings, select Subdomain and enter your desired subdomain.
Click Activate Custom Domain to receive DNS configuration instructions. Update DNS settings through your domain provider, and your subdomain will connect within 5 minutes.
Subdirectory (Sub-folder) Setup
"Subdirectory connection is currently supported only for websites built with Next.js, Vercel, AWS Amplify, Framer, and Webflow."
Supported platforms include:
- Next.js: Supported, except for static export
- Vercel / AWS Amplify: Supported as hosting platforms
- Framer / Webflow: Supported via reverse proxy using Cloudflare
Select Subdirectory in the Custom Domain settings and enter your domain (e.g., example.com/blog). Click Activate Custom Domain for the full setup guide. Note that subdirectory setup typically requires code implementation.
No Domain? No Problem.
If you lack a custom domain, continue using the default blog domain (e.g., example.inblog.io) by selecting the "I don't own a domain" option during setup. You can upgrade to a custom domain at any time.
