# Add a custom domain to your status page

Host your Spike status page on a custom subdomain, like status.example.com, instead of the default spike.sh URL.

## Step 1: Add your domain in Spike

Click **Host** in the top-right corner of your status page.

Enter your custom domain, for example `status.acme.com`.

## Step 2: Update your DNS settings

In your domain's DNS settings, add a CNAME record pointing to `alias.spike.sh`.

Spike adds your domain to its SAN certificate so your status page loads correctly over HTTPS.

DNS changes can take up to 10 minutes to propagate.

If your status page does not appear on your custom domain after 30 minutes, contact <support@spike.sh>.
