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 your Hub, Magic Links, and Landing Pages — available on all plans. Edit your subdomain in Settings → Domain.
Two kinds of custom domain
A custom domain powers two distinct things. They're configured on the same Settings → Domain page but unlock on different plans:
| What it's for | Required plan | |
|---|---|---|
| Sending domain | Sending emails from your own domain (e.g., newsletter@yourdomain.com) | Newsletter and up |
| Website hosting | Serving your Hub, blog, and pages from your own domain | Publisher and up |
You connect one domain per workspace and use it for both — that's the typical setup.
For sending-domain specifics (SPF, DKIM, DMARC, sending identities), see Sending Domain.
Root or subdomain
When you add a domain, you pick how it's hosted:
- Root — Your apex domain, like
yourdomain.com(an optionalwwwalias is included). - Subdomain — A prefix, like
blog.yourdomain.com.
The mode determines which DNS records you add for website hosting (an A record for a root domain, a CNAME for a subdomain).
Adding a custom domain
Open Settings → Domain
Click Add Domain.
Enter your domain
Type the domain you want to connect, and choose root or subdomain.
Add the DNS records
Nashra shows the exact records to add. You have a few ways to do it:
- Domain Connect — If your registrar supports it, Nashra redirects you to approve the DNS changes in one click.
- Registrar help — Nashra detects your registrar (Cloudflare, Namecheap, GoDaddy, Porkbun, Route 53, and others) and shows step-by-step instructions for it.
- Manual — Copy each record and add it at your registrar. Every record cell is individually copyable.
- 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:
- Email records — SPF, DKIM, and DMARC, required for sending. See Sending Domain.
- Website hosting record — An A record for a root domain, or a CNAME for a subdomain, pointing your site at Nashra's hosting.
Nashra shows the exact values to add and detects each one as it goes live. With Domain Connect, this happens automatically.
Two verification states
A domain has two independent checks, and the settings page tracks both:
- Email verification — Confirms the SPF/DKIM/DMARC records so you can send from the domain.
- Website verification — Confirms the A/CNAME record so your Hub, blog, and pages serve from the domain.
When the email side verifies, Nashra automatically moves your sending identities onto the custom domain — see Sending Domain.
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.
Refreshing status
Click Refresh on your domain to re-check its DNS and verification state — useful right after you add the records at your registrar.
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 site reverts to your .nashra.ai subdomain, and sending falls back to Nashra's shared sending domain.
