Custom Domains

Updated August 4, 2026

Overview

By default, your public Marmend pages — CMS pages, your jobs listing, and individual vacancies — live under a Marmend address. With a custom domain, you can serve that same content under your own domain (for example, careers.acme.com), so visitors see your brand in the address bar.

Custom domains are a premium feature. If you don't see the page described below, it isn't enabled for your organization.

Where to find it

Open CMS → Domains (/cms/domains) in your tenant admin area. This page lists the domains you've connected and their current status, and refreshes automatically so you can watch a new domain come online.

Connecting a domain

Open CMS → Domains and add the domain you want to use (for example, careers.acme.com).
Marmend shows you the DNS record to add at your domain registrar — a CNAME pointing your domain at Marmend's edge:
```
Name:    careers.acme.com
Type:    CNAME
Target:  edge.marmend.com
```
For an apex domain (like acme.com itself), use an ALIAS or flattened-CNAME record if your registrar supports it.
Add that record at your DNS provider and save.

That's all you need to do — Marmend handles the rest automatically.

The verification flow

After you add the domain, Marmend works through several steps on its own, and the status on the page updates as it goes:

Pending — the domain has just been added.
Pending verification — Marmend is waiting to see your DNS record.
Pending certificate — your DNS record was found; a secure (HTTPS) certificate is being issued.
Active — the domain is live and serving your pages securely.

The page rechecks status on its own (typically within about 5 minutes of your DNS record being in place), so you don't need to refresh manually. If something goes wrong, the status shows Failed along with a short reason — usually a DNS record that hasn't propagated yet or doesn't match. Double-check the record matches what Marmend showed and give DNS time to update.

What visitors see

Once the domain is Active, visitors reaching your custom domain see exactly the same public content as on your Marmend address — your CMS pages, your jobs listing, and individual vacancies — just under your own domain and with a valid HTTPS padlock. Application forms continue to work as before. There's nothing extra to configure on your pages; switching the domain on (or off) takes effect right away.
