Before you connect: the three-step wizard
1
Enter your domain
Type the domain and press Continue. If the address you typed redirects somewhere else, you get “This domain redirects” and a Use [canonical] button — take the suggestion. Root domains (example.com) and subdomains (blog.example.com) both work.
2
Pick the platform and routing type
Choose where your site is hosted, then how pages should be addressed.
- Subpath Routing — pages live at
yourdomain.com/a/page-name. Carries a Recommended badge where the platform supports it. - Domain Routing — pages live at
yourdomain.com/page-name, using the whole root domain. - Subdomain Routing — you enter a Subdomain prefix and pages live at
pages.yourdomain.com.

Finish the setup step
What you need depends on the routing type. Subpath routing shows platform-specific forwarding instructions and a Route prefix (default
a). The other two ask for an Origin URL — the address your existing site is really served from. Without it the address loops forever, so it is required. Finish with Add Domain.Once it’s connected
Until the record is detected you see an Add CNAME record table. A CNAME is a domain record that points one address at another. Copy the Type / Name / Value into your domain provider exactly as shown, then press Refresh. The page also keeps checking on its own, so waiting is enough.
Checklist
Once the domain is fully live, a Checklist card appears. If something fails, its title changes to Action Required.The robots.txt, sitemap and IndexNow items appear only with Subpath Routing. With CNAME routing Anymorph handles all three for you.
Removing a domain
The row menu offers Remove domain, with a confirmation. You can reconnect the same domain later.FAQ
Where do my pages live if I connect nothing?
Where do my pages live if I connect nothing?
On an Anymorph address. That is fine for review and preview, but it builds no authority for your own domain.
Do I need to buy an SSL certificate?
Do I need to buy an SSL certificate?
No. It is issued automatically once the record resolves. Until then you see the SSL [status] badge.
My root domain won't accept a CNAME.
My root domain won't accept a CNAME.
Use a provider that flattens CNAMEs at the root, or connect a subdomain such as
pages.example.com instead.How long does verification take?
How long does verification take?
Typically 5–30 minutes. The page keeps checking, and there is a Check button.
I keep seeing 'CNAME record not found yet'.

Wait for propagation, or confirm the Name and Value you entered match the table exactly.
