The domain setup section of the SEO tutorial may require assistance from a developer, particularly for DNS configuration or code implementation. If developer support isn’t available, feel free to skip this step and continue with the next section.

You can connect your inblog-powered blog to your company’s domain in one of two ways:

  • Subdomain (e.g. blog.example.com)

  • Subdirectory (e.g. example.com/blog)

Subdomain Setup

In the Custom Domain settings, select Subdomain and enter the subdomain you want to use.

Click Activate Custom Domain, and you’ll receive DNS configuration instructions.

Update your DNS settings through your domain provider (e.g., GoDaddy, Namecheap), and your subdomain will be connected within 5 minutes.

Subdirectory (Sub-folder) Setup

Important: Subdirectory connection is currently supported only for websites built with Next.js, Vercel, AWS Amplify, Framer, and Webflow.

  • Next.js: Supported, except for static export

  • Vercel / AWS Amplify: Supported as hosting platforms

  • Framer / Webflow: Supported via reverse proxy using Cloudflare

To connect via subdirectory, select Subdirectory in the Custom Domain settings and enter your desired domain (e.g. example.com/blog). Click Activate Custom Domain to access the full setup guide.

Please note: Subdirectory setup typically requires some code implementation.

No Domain? No Problem.

If you don’t own a custom domain, you can continue with the default blog domain (e.g., example.inblog.io) by clicking the I don’t own a domain button during setup. You can always switch to a custom domain later.
