Setting Up Custom Domain

Connect your own domain name to your LightPage

Custom Domain Benefits

Use your own domain name instead of the default LightPage subdomain to build your brand and improve SEO.

Default LightPage URL

light.segment.best/en/your-page

Your Custom Domain

yourdomain.com

Understanding Domain Modes

LightPage offers two domain modes to match your website structure. Choose the mode that fits your needs:

M

Multiple Pages (Slug Routing)

Host multiple pages under one domain

One domain serves all your pages with unique URLs

Supports multilingual URLs (e.g., /en/, /uk/, /es/)

Perfect for building a complete website with multiple sections

Example URLs:

yourdomain.com/en/about-us yourdomain.com/es/contacto yourdomain.com/uk/послуги

✨ Best For:

Businesses with multiple service pages, portfolios with different projects, multilingual content sites, or any multi-page website.

S

Single Page (Direct)

Map domain directly to one page

Domain serves only one specific page

Clean URL without language or slug paths

Ideal for focused landing pages or standalone projects

Example URLs:

myportfolio.com mybusiness.net myproduct.io

✨ Best For:

Product landing pages, event promotions, personal branding sites, campaign pages, or single-page portfolios.

Switching Between Modes

You can change domain modes anytime in your page settings. When switching from Single Page to Multiple Pages mode, your content remains intact - only the URL routing structure changes.

Before You Start

Requirements

You must own a domain name (purchase from registrars like Namecheap, GoDaddy, etc.)
Access to your domain's DNS settings
Active paid subscription on LightPage

Step 1: Add Domain in LightPage

First, register your custom domain in LightPage settings.

Go to your page settings
Find the "Custom Domain" section
Enter your domain name (e.g., yourdomain.com)
Click "Save" - you'll receive DNS configuration instructions

Step 2: Configure DNS

Log in to your domain registrar and add these DNS records:

Required DNS Records

Type	Name	Value
`A`	`@` or `yourdomain.com`	`YOUR_IP_ADDRESS`
`CNAME`	`www`	`yourdomain.com`

Note: DNS changes can take 24-48 hours to propagate worldwide. Contact support if you need the exact IP address.

Step 3: SSL Certificate (Automatic)

LightPage uses Cloudflare to automatically provision and manage SSL certificates for your custom domain.

Automatic HTTPS via Cloudflare

Once DNS is configured and verified, Cloudflare automatically provisions a free SSL certificate. This process typically takes 5-15 minutes. Your page will then be served over HTTPS (secure connection).
