Custom Domains

Connect your own domain so your podcast lives at podcast.yourcompany.com instead of yourshow.jellypod.com.

Requirements#

Custom domains are a Pro feature. If you are on the free plan, clicking Add Custom Domain will prompt you to upgrade.

Setting Up a Custom Domain#

  1. Open your podcast in the studio and navigate to the Details step (step 7 in the setup flow, or the edit page).
  2. Find the Configure Domain (Optional) row and click Add Custom Domain.
  3. The custom domain dialog opens with three numbered steps.

Step 1: Enter Your Domain#

Type your domain in the input field. You can use either:

  • An apex domain: yourdomain.com
  • A subdomain: podcast.yourcompany.com

Step 2: Configure DNS Records#

Add the following records at your domain registrar (Namecheap, GoDaddy, Cloudflare, etc.):

  • A Record: Name: Leave blank (or @). Value: 76.76.21.21. TTL: 86400.
  • CNAME Record: Name: www (or your subdomain prefix). Value: cname.jellypod.com.. TTL: 86400.

If your registrar does not support a TTL of 86400, set the highest available value. Copy the records exactly as shown in the dialog.

Step 3: Verify Domain Ownership#

Click Verify Domain Status. Jellypod will continuously check whether your DNS records are configured correctly.

  • DNS propagation can take up to an hour.
  • Once verified, the dialog closes and your domain is saved.
  • SSL is provisioned automatically, no extra configuration needed.

Removing a Custom Domain#

While verifying, you can click the Clear button next to the domain input to cancel the process and remove the domain.

After Setup#

Once your custom domain is active, visitors to your old subdomain.jellypod.com URL will be automatically redirected to your custom domain.

Frequently Asked Questions#

Is SSL included with custom domains?

Yes. SSL is provisioned automatically when your custom domain is verified, no extra configuration or certificates needed.

How long does DNS propagation take?

DNS propagation can take up to an hour. Jellypod continuously checks your DNS records after you click Verify Domain Status, so it will detect the change automatically.
