Custom domain

Your site, on your own domain.

Every Jimp site has its .jimp.site address. Plug in yours: three lines to paste at your registrar, Jimp checks on its own, sets up the certificate and renews it. Your domain becomes the site's address.

Four beats

From DNS to the site's address.

  1. 01

    Add your domain

    In the site editor, type the domain to connect. Jimp gives you the three lines.

  2. 02

    Paste three lines

    At your registrar: the traffic, the certificate and the line proving the domain is yours. Leave them in place.

  3. 03

    Jimp checks on its own

    Verification is automatic, and the certificate is issued then renewed without you touching the DNS again.

  4. 04

    Make it the site's address

    One click, and your domain becomes the site's address: the old address redirects to it.

Root domain

your-site.com, without www?

A root domain cannot carry the record the traffic needs: that is a limit of DNS itself. The simple route: Jimp connects www, and your registrar redirects the root to www.

For a root domain

  • Jimp connects www.your-site.com with the usual three lines.
  • At your registrar, you redirect your-site.com to www, over HTTPS if you can.
  • The panel checks that redirect too.
The site's address

One single address for search engines.

When your domain becomes the site's address, that is the one search engines index. The other addresses redirect to it, so there are never two copies of the same site.

When you set it

  • The sitemap and every canonical tag point to your domain.
  • The .jimp.site address and your other domains redirect permanently (308).
  • Up to 5 domains per site.
  • Pick an address you mean to keep: the redirect is permanent.
Monitoring

If your domain goes down, you know.

Jimp keeps checking every connected domain. If one stops answering, usually after a DNS change, the dashboard flags it and you get an email.

When a domain stops answering

  • The domain shows as not responding in the editor, with the date.
  • An email warns you, in your language, and says whether it is the site's main address.
  • As soon as the domain answers again, everything is back in place; nothing changed on your site.
WordPress migration

The domain is switch day.

A site migrated from WordPress stays out of search engines until it has a verified domain. The day you point your domain at Jimp, the site opens to search engines and the old addresses redirect.

  • No duplicate content while your WordPress is still online.
  • Your verified domain opens the Jimp site to search engines.
  • Every old WordPress address 301-redirects to its new page.
All about the WordPress migration

Questions about domains.

Is it included in my plan?

Yes, on every plan, at no extra cost.

How many domains per site?

Up to 5. Only one is the site's address; the others redirect to it.

What about the HTTPS certificate?

It is issued automatically once the lines are in place, then renewed without you touching anything.

Can I buy a domain from Jimp?

Not yet. Meanwhile, buy it at the registrar of your choice and connect it with three lines.

Can I change the address later?

Yes, but the old address will redirect permanently to the new one, including for visitors who already followed it. Pick an address you keep.

Will my email change?

No. You add three lines at your registrar without touching the rest of your DNS: your email keeps working as before.
