Custom Subdomain
1 min read
Choose a memorable URL for your published site
Your subdomain is how people access your published site. Choose something memorable and relevant.
Who can do this: Workspace Owners and Admins can change the subdomain. Editors can publish but cannot modify subdomain settings. See Roles and Permissions for details.
Subdomain Format
All published sites use the format:
yourname.sticklight.app
You choose the “yourname” part. This URL becomes active the moment you publish your site.
Choosing a Good Subdomain
For personal sites:
- janedoe.sticklight.app
- jd-design.sticklight.app
- janedesigns.sticklight.app
For businesses:
- acmecorp.sticklight.app
- acme-consulting.sticklight.app
- acme-nyc.sticklight.app
Subdomain Rules
- Lowercase letters and numbers only
- Hyphens allowed (but not at start or end)
- No spaces or special characters
- Must be unique (not already taken)
- Minimum 3 characters
Changing Your Subdomain
You can change your subdomain at any time:
- Click Publish in the top navigation
- Click the pencil icon next to your subdomain
- Edit the name
- Click the checkmark to save or the X to cancel
Note: Changing your subdomain means:
- Old URL stops working immediately
- Anyone with the old link will get an error
- Update your shared links after changing
