DNS setup guide for podcast custom domains — CNAME, apex records, SSL, and common provider instructions.

A custom domain (yourshow.com) signals professionalism and makes marketing easier. Castee Creator plan includes custom domains with automatic SSL.

01

Subdomain vs apex

`www.yourshow.com` uses a CNAME record — simplest setup. `yourshow.com` (apex) may need ALIAS/ANAME at Cloudflare or A records at other providers.

02

Typical steps

Add the domain in Castee site settings, copy the DNS records shown, and add them at your DNS provider. Propagation timing varies by provider, record TTL, and resolver cache.

03

Verify in Castee

The dashboard confirms when DNS resolves. Certificate provisioning begins after successful verification and can take additional time.

Keep your podcast host DNS separate — only the website domain points to Castee. Your RSS feed URL at your host stays unchanged.

Podcast-first workflow

Start with your show, not a blank page.

Import feed-exposed episodes, choose a template, customize structured sections, and preview the website before you publish.
