Custom domains

Every site is reachable at its name.jimp.site address. From the Starter plan, each site can carry one custom domain of its own; the Jimp address then redirects to it permanently, so search engines see one canonical host.

Connecting a domain you own

In the site editor's Site tab, add the host you want to connect. The panel gives you three lines to publish at your registrar, named the way a registrar's form asks for them:

1. Traffic: a CNAME that points the host at Jimp.
2. Certificate: a CNAME that delegates certificate validation, so the certificate is issued and renewed without you ever touching DNS again.
3. Ownership: a TXT record that names this site, so a domain cannot be attached to someone else's.

Publish the three, leave them in place, and Jimp verifies automatically, usually within minutes. The panel says what it sees ("line 1 is not visible yet", "line 2 points somewhere else"), and the certificate follows on its own.

Root domains

A root domain (example.com, without www) cannot be pointed with a CNAME at most registrars. The panel asks the only question you can answer: do you own it, or do you want one? If you own it, connect www.example.com and set a redirect from the root to www at your registrar. The panel checks that redirect too, for as long as the domain exists.

Letting Jimp register it

Type a domain you would like and the panel tells you whether it is free and what it costs, live. Registration itself waits on billing; when it opens, a domain bought through Jimp comes with its DNS hosted by Jimp: you replace two nameservers at the registrar, and everything else is already in place.

Primary domain

Once verified, make the domain primary: the site's canonical address becomes yours, the sitemap and every canonical tag point at it, and the .jimp.site address redirects there. Un-verified domains can never be made primary.
