Can I change the domain of my Gamma site?

Steps to change the domain for a Gamma site, including switching from a gamma.site subdomain to a custom domain purchased separately.

Updated this week

Introduction

In Gamma, you can publish your site on a default gamma.site subdomain or connect your own custom domain (e.g. yourcompany.com). Using a custom domain improves brand visibility and SEO by hosting your site on a branded URL instead of Gamma’s default.

If you’ve already published a site, you can update the domain at any time by following the steps for DNS setup, site configuration, and republishing.

🔷 Note: Custom domains are only available on Pro & Above plans - visit https://gamma.app/pricing to upgrade.

  • If you don't already have a custom domain, you can purchase one directly within your site settings by checking out:

How to Change Your Gamma Site’s Domain

Step 1: Review Your Existing Domain Setup

Before making changes, consider:

  • Whether your existing domain already points to other content.

  • If you want to avoid replacing your current site, use a subdomain instead (e.g. gamma.yourdomain.com).

💎 Pro Tip: Avoid downtime by configuring a subdomain before making changes to the root domain.

Step 2: Disconnect Current Domain (if applicable)

If your domain is already connected elsewhere (e.g. to Squarespace or Webflow), you'll need to:

  1. Go to that platform.

  2. Unlink the domain.

  3. Free it up for use in Gamma.

Step 3: Access Domain Settings in Gamma

  1. Open your Gamma site.

  2. Click the three-dot menu (…) in the top right corner.

  3. Select Site Settings.

  4. Navigate to the Domains tab.

Step 4: Enter Your New Domain

  1. Click Add domain.

  2. Enter your custom domain (e.g. www.yourdomain.com).

  3. Choose Automatic Setup (recommended) or Manual Setup.

🔷 Note: It may take up to 24 hours for domain verification and SSL certificates to activate.

Step 5: Update DNS (Manual Setup Only)

If you choose Manual Setup, you’ll need to:

  1. Copy the DNS records provided by Gamma.

  2. Go to your domain registrar (e.g. Namecheap, GoDaddy).

  3. Paste the records into your DNS settings.

Step 6: Publish Your Site

Once your domain is connected:

  • Click Publish to push your site live to the new domain.

FAQs & Common Issues

Can I go back to a gamma.site domain later?

  • Yes. You can return to your gamma.site subdomain at any time by removing the custom domain under Site Settings.

Why is my site showing a security warning?

  • After setting up a new domain, SSL certificates may take a few hours to activate. Try again later. If the issue persists after 24 hours, contact Gamma support.

What happens to my old site content?

  • Once a new domain is connected, your old domain may no longer point to your content. Set up redirects if needed to preserve traffic.
