Domains can be added to an account by opening Users -> Accounts -> Domains and clicking Add.
A development domain ends with marketpath.site (or another Marketpath domain). These domains require no verification and are quick and easy to setup.
A custom domain is a domain you've registered and maintain yourself. Custom domains require verification before you can add them to your account.
We require domain verification because we want to make sure the real domain registrants or operators of a domain are the only ones who can use it.
Marketpath provides three methods for verifying a domain: 1) adding a TXT record to DNS, 2) adding a CNAME record to DNS, and 3) adding a meta tag to your website.
Not at this time. Domains can only be used on one site. In order to use a domain for a new site you will need to completely remove it from the site that is currently using it. You can do this by adding a development domain to the current site and then performing a domain swap to remove all references to the domain. Once completed, remove the domain from the site and it will be available for use in the new site.
No. A redirected custom domain that has no pages of its own (an alias) is not billed. Development domains are not billed either. See Marketpath pricing for how additional page-bearing custom domains are counted.
A redirected domain must belong to the same site. You cannot redirect the site’s default domain, or a domain that pages still use, except during a domain swap. Alias domains are hidden from the page domain picker. They issue a fast 301 (browsers may cache it) and are applied earlier than path or regex redirects.
No. Development domains are not account-owned. After you remove a development hostname from a site, any site may claim it.
Yes. Set the domain’s HTTPS mode to Allow or Require, then upload a certificate (typically a .pfx file) and its password. Wait a few minutes (up to about 10) for it to install. You can remove the certificate if it is wrong or expired. Marketpath can also issue a free Let’s Encrypt certificate for live custom domains.
