# Custom domain

> Add a custom domain to your status page.

You can host your status page on your own domain. To set it up, add the domain in Checkly and create the required DNS records with your DNS provider.

<Note>
  Custom domains are available on Communicate Starter, Team and Enterprise
  plans. [View pricing](https://checklyhq.com/pricing)

  <Step title="Add a custom domain to your Status Page">

  </Step>

  <Step title="Create a CNAME record that points to `custom-slug.checkly-status-page.com`">
    Create a CNAME record with your DNS provider and point it to
    `custom-domain.checkly-status-page.com` For example, in Cloudflare, the
    configuration looks like this: <img src="https://mintcdn.com/checkly-422f444a-mintlify-5577f365/uV5H9iDhDhkQ15Ro/images/docs/images/status-pages/status-pages-custom-domain-2.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=uV5H9iDhDhkQ15Ro&q=85&s=f9690c5a70b36877b3522240946ae361" alt="Custom domain CNAME
    configuration" width="1220" height="141" data-path="images/docs/images/status-pages/status-pages-custom-domain-2.png" />
    If your provider is Cloudflare, you must disable the proxy on the CNAME, it
    should always be set to DNS only.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add TXT record(s) to perform validation and prove domain ownership">
    After you've added your custom domain and saved the page, one or more TXT records will be displayed depending on the domain you're using.

    Update your DNS settings to match the TXT record(s) displayed on your Status Page to prove the ownership of the domain.

    <Note>
      Search engines require this verification to index and list your Status Page.
