Custom Domains
Your Website on Your Own Web Address

Run your site on a domain you own — connect one you already have or buy a new one from your dashboard. DNS instructions and SSL are handled for you.

Why breeders use it

What Custom Domains Does for Your Program

Instead of your-kennel.whelpify.com, your website can live at an address like happypawsgoldens.com — either one you already own or one you buy in a couple of clicks.

Look established from day one

Families see your kennel's own web address on your site, your sitemap, and the links in every email and notification — not a shared platform URL.

No DNS expertise required

We show you the exact records to add at your registrar, then verify them for you. One "Check status" click tells you the moment your domain is live.

How it works
01
Open Domain in your dashboard

Head to Website → Domain and either type in a domain you own or search for a new one.

02
Point it at your site

Add the DNS records we show you at your registrar — or skip this entirely if you bought the domain through us.

03
Go live with SSL

Once DNS is verified, your whole site — every page, puppy, and blog post — serves from your domain with HTTPS.

Buying is one checkout

Search a name, see the real yearly price, pay by card, and the domain is registered, connected, and secured for you automatically.

FAQ

Common Questions

I already own a domain — can I use it?

Yes. Enter it on the Domain page and we'll show you exactly which DNS records to add with your current registrar. Your site stays up the whole time.

What happens to my whelpify.com address?

It keeps working. Your custom domain becomes the primary address used in your sitemap and links, and your included subdomain stays active as a backup.
