Connect Your Own Sports Website Domain

Use a familiar club or athlete domain with a uContend-built website when custom-domain hosting becomes available. Learn the connection process and current requirements before changing your DNS.

Check Availability Before Changing Records

Custom-domain hosting is not currently enabled on this installation. Website creation and publication at the available uContend address are separate capabilities. Contact us first; do not redirect a working club domain to an unconfirmed hosting setup.

Verify Ownership and Traffic Separately

The implemented connection workflow uses a unique TXT record to verify ownership and appropriate traffic records for the requested hostname. Apex and www are connected separately. Ownership verification alone does not mean traffic routing, HTTPS and host installation have finished.

Keep the Domain With Your Registrar

You remain responsible for registration and renewal. Eligible custom-domain access follows the website's own plan or grant, not its competition subscription. A connected domain must remain verified and entitled; expiry can return serving to the available free address without deleting website content.

Fictional demonstration

Worked Example

A fictional club first checks availability, keeps its registrar account and follows the exact records shown by the domain workflow once onboarding is enabled. It waits for a connected status before announcing the new address.

From Setup to Your Public Website

Sign in and select an eligible identity you own. Choose the design at creation, add accurate content and eligible sources, then check the phone and desktop previews. Complete the first publication review and use the actual published address. Review the editor’s current publication state when updating an existing live site.

Questions About This Feature

Check how this fits your club, website or event before getting started.

Do I need to transfer my domain registration?

No. Connection uses DNS and verification while the domain remains with its registrar.

Does verified mean connected?

No. Traffic DNS, eligibility, certificates and installed hosting must also be ready. Use the actual connection status.
