Once your website is ready, the most common question is: "What URL should people use to find me?" This category helps you manage your site's public URL, as well as unpublish or delete your site when needed.
You don't need to be a tech expert. Every article explains technical terms in plain language before guiding you through the necessary steps.
mystudio.kanorio.com.mystudio.com.A URL is the address visitors type into their browser; a domain is the brand name you own, like mystudio.com; DNS is the configuration that points your domain to the correct website location. Don't worry if these terms are new to you—this guide will help you find exactly what you need based on your situation.

To ensure each document solves a specific problem, this category does not repeat the following topics:
Here, the focus is on "how to use, connect, and manage URLs," rather than teaching you how to edit content or click publish.
If you are new to Kanorio, please follow this order:
Unpublishing and Deleting a Site is an independent topic; you can read it anytime you need to pause or end your site, regardless of whether you use a custom domain.
Every site comes with a free Kanorio URL. Once you meet the plan requirements, you can also add your own domains.
Once a custom domain is successfully active, the system will redirect the free URL to your primary custom domain to prevent content duplication. If you add multiple brand domains, secondary domains will also redirect to your selected primary domain.
This "redirection" is a domain-level forward handled by the system for visitors and search engines. You don't need to write any code, but you should verify that all domains you intend to use are correctly configured and active.
If you need to handle "old paths redirecting to new paths within the same site" or "old links working after a site migration," that is a different type of path redirect. Please read Setting Up URL Redirects.
We recommend starting with Kanorio Free URL. If you already have your own domain, jump straight to Connecting an Existing Domain. If you are still deciding whether to buy or connect, read Choosing a Custom Domain Method. If you are handling old paths or site migration links, you can also read Setting Up URL Redirects.
