Custom Domains
Connect your own domain to your Nashra workspace for stronger branding and better deliverability.
Your default domain
Every workspace gets a free subdomain at yourname.nashra.ai. It's your default URL for the blog, Magic Links, the Bio Page, and Landing Pages — available on all plans. Edit your subdomain in Settings → Domain.
Two kinds of custom domain
Nashra supports two distinct uses for a custom domain. They share the same setup flow but power different things:
| What it's for | Required plan | |
|---|---|---|
| Sending domain | Sending emails from your own domain (e.g., newsletter@yourdomain.com) | Paid plans |
| Website hosting | Serving your blog and pages from your own domain (e.g., blog.yourdomain.com) | Publisher plan and up |
You can connect one domain and use it for both — that's the typical setup.
For sending-domain specifics (SPF, DKIM, DMARC, sending identities), see Sending Domain.
Adding a custom domain
Open Settings → Domain
Click Add Domain.
Enter your domain
Type the domain you want to connect — e.g., yourdomain.com or blog.yourdomain.com.
Choose a setup method
Nashra offers three options:
- Domain Connect (recommended) — If your registrar supports it (GoDaddy, Cloudflare, Squarespace, and others), Nashra redirects you to approve the DNS changes in one click.
- Manual DNS — Copy the records Nashra shows and add them at your registrar.
- Forward to admin — Email the DNS instructions to whoever manages your domain.
Wait for verification
DNS changes take a few minutes to a few hours. Click Refresh to check, or wait for Nashra to verify automatically.
SSL is automatic
Once DNS is verified, Nashra issues an SSL certificate for your domain. No action needed on your side.
DNS records
For a typical setup you'll add:
- CNAME — for a subdomain like
blog.yourdomain.com - A record — for a root domain like
yourdomain.com - SPF, DKIM, DMARC — required for email sending
Nashra shows the exact values to add. With Domain Connect, all of this happens automatically.
Tracking toggles
Per-domain controls for what's tracked in outgoing emails:
- Open tracking — Adds an invisible tracking pixel; needed for open rate metrics.
- Click tracking — Rewrites links to go through Nashra; needed for click rate metrics.
Both default to on. Toggle them off if you prefer not to track — at the cost of losing those metrics.
Multiple domains
You can connect multiple domains to one workspace. Use cases:
- Different sending identities on different domains (
newsletter@brand-a.comandnews@brand-b.com) - A staging domain alongside your production blog
- A region-specific blog (e.g.,
blog.ar.yourdomain.com)
Each domain has its own DNS state, SSL certificate, and tracking toggles.
Refreshing status
Click Refresh on a domain to re-check its DNS and verification state. Use Sync all in the domain list to refresh every domain at once — useful after bulk DNS changes.
If verification fails
- Records exact — No extra spaces, exact values, no typos.
- Wait longer — DNS can take up to 24 hours to propagate.
- No conflicts — Remove existing records for the same hostname.
- Domain Connect — Some registrars only expose Domain Connect on certain plans; check with them.
Removing a domain
Open the domain's menu in Settings → Domain and choose Remove. Your blog reverts to your .nashra.ai subdomain. Sending identities tied to the domain are deactivated.
