Every published site gets a managed Sontairo subdomain automatically. To serve it from your own domain instead, add the domain in the site’s Domains tab.

  1. Open your site and go to the Domains tab
  2. Enter the hostname (for example www.yourcompany.com)
  3. Click add — the domain appears in the list with its status
