Custom Subdomain

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. Publishing requires a Pro plan. 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

For projects:

• summer-event-2024.sticklight.app
• product-launch.sticklight.app
• beta-signup.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:

1. Click Publish in the top navigation
2. Click the pencil icon next to your subdomain
3. Edit the name
4. Click the checkmark to save or the X to cancel

After changing, you can push updates to apply any pending changes simultaneously.

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

Custom Domains

Want to use your own domain instead of a sticklight.app subdomain? Pro users can connect custom domains like yourdomain.com. See Connecting a Custom Domain for setup instructions.

Sharing Your URL

Once published, share your URL anywhere. Check the publication status to confirm your latest changes are live before sharing.
