# How do I use my own domain for a status page?

> Point a CNAME from status.yourdomain.com to lemwatch and add the domain in Settings → Status Pages → Custom Domain to serve it under your brand.

## Quick answer

 Create a CNAME record from status.yourdomain.com to cname.lemwatch.com , then add the domain under **Settings → Status Pages → Custom Domain**. Lemwatch provisions an SSL cert via Let's Encrypt within 2–5 minutes.

## Setup steps

- Add CNAME: status → cname.lemwatch.com

- In Lemwatch, add the custom domain

- Wait for DNS propagation (up to 30 min)

- SSL cert auto-provisions

- Status page now lives at status.yourdomain.com

## Where to find it in Lemwatch

 **Settings → Status Pages → Custom Domain**.

## FAQ

### Can I use the apex domain?

 We recommend a subdomain. Apex requires ALIAS/ANAME support at your DNS provider.
