Custom Domains

Requirements

Custom domains are gated behind the Business plan. If your plan does not include custom domains, entering one and clicking Save Domain prompts you to upgrade.

Where to Manage Your Domain

Open the Edit Domain dialog from either place:

• Share dialog: On your podcast's page, click Share Podcast, then click Edit Domain next to your Podcast Link.
• Podcast editor: Open your podcast, click Edit Podcast, and find Configure Custom Domain on the final step.

1. Open your podcast, click Share, then click Edit Domain next to Podcast Link.
2. Below the subdomain field, enter your domain in the Custom domain field. You can use either:
   • An apex domain: yourdomain.com
   • A subdomain: podcast.yourcompany.com

3. Click Save Domain. Jellypod registers the domain and shows a confirmation to configure your DNS records.

Configure DNS Records

Add the following records at your domain registrar (Namecheap, GoDaddy, Cloudflare, etc.):

• A Record: Name: Leave blank (or @). Value: 76.76.21.21. TTL: 86400.
• CNAME Record: Name: www (or your subdomain prefix). Value: cname.jellypod.com.. TTL: 86400.

If your registrar does not support a TTL of 86400, set the highest available value.

Verify Your Domain

Once your DNS records are live, reopen Edit Domain to see the current status under your domain.

• DNS propagation can take up to an hour.
• Once verified, the status shows "Domain verified successfully."
• SSL is provisioned automatically, no extra configuration needed.

Removing a Custom Domain

Open Share > Edit Domain, click the trash icon next to your custom domain, then confirm Remove domain.

After Setup

Once your custom domain is active, visitors to your old subdomain.jellypod.com URL will be automatically redirected to your custom domain.

Changing Your Subdomain

Every podcast gets a free yourshow.jellypod.com subdomain the moment you create it, derived from your title. To change it, click Share on your podcast, then Edit Domain next to Podcast Link, and enter a new subdomain. Jellypod checks availability as you type; you can only save once the subdomain shows as available.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is SSL included with custom domains?

Yes. SSL is provisioned automatically when your custom domain is verified, no extra configuration or certificates needed.

How long does DNS propagation take?

DNS propagation can take up to an hour. Jellypod continuously checks your DNS records after you save a custom domain, so it will detect the change automatically.

Can I change my podcast's subdomain?

Yes. Open Edit Domain from the Share dialog or podcast editor, type a new subdomain, and confirm. This immediately breaks links to your old subdomain, including your RSS feed, so update it anywhere you've shared it.
