What is a Domain?

A domain is the identifying name of a website address, like yourbrand.com, that allows visitors to find your site through an easy-to-remember URL. A subdomain is a branch under a domain (e.g., www.yourbrand.com), while a root domain is the main domain without www (e.g., yourbrand.com).

Kanorio Subdomains

  • Format: xxx.kanorio.com (where xxx is the name you set)
  • Available immediately on the free plan, no domain purchase required
  • Ideal for quick launches, testing, or when on a limited budget

Custom Domains

  • Format: A domain you own (e.g., yourbrand.com)
  • Requires a Kanorio Pro subscription to connect
  • Brand Identity: A dedicated URL makes your site more professional and memorable
  • SEO: Owning your domain helps build search authority
  • Trust: Visitors are more likely to trust yourbrand.com than xxx.kanorio.com

Recommendation

  • Subdomain: Use when you want to publish quickly, test the market, or don't have your own domain yet.
  • Custom Domain: Use when you already own a domain and want to build a dedicated brand URL.

Publishing Your Site

Click the "Publish" button in the editor to choose between using a Kanorio subdomain or connecting a custom domain. Any content changes require you to click "Publish" again to reflect them on the live site.
