  4. Click Add domain and follow the DNS instructions shown to verify ownership.
  5. Once the DNS records propagate, press Check Domain to activate it, then apply it to your image host.

My Domains management

My domains list

The My Domains section keeps all domains you have added in one place. From here you can:

  • Review domain and SSL status at a glance.
  • Open the DNS setup helper again if the domain is still pending.
  • Apply an active domain to your image host or switch between domains.
  • Remove a domain you no longer need.

Public vs. Private custom domains

  • Private domains are exclusive to your account. They’re perfect when you want a branded link just for your uploads.
  • Public domains are shared with the community. Anyone can select them from the domain list, which is great if you want to contribute a friendly URL for others.

Whether public or private, custom domains make your image links feel on-brand and easier to trust when you share them.
