# Using Your Own Domain with UISP

> You can reach your UISP at a name of your own, such as `uisp.example.com`, as well as at your `yourname.netconsole.cloud` address. Both keep working.

## How many names

U25 and U50 plans include one custom domain. U100 and U200 plans include up to fifty.

## Step 1: point your name at your UISP

In your DNS, add a CNAME record for the name you want, pointing at your UISP address:

```
uisp.example.com.   CNAME   yourname.netconsole.cloud.
```

Do not use an A record with an IP address. The IP can change; the CNAME follows it. DNS changes can take up to 48 hours to reach everyone, though most finish within minutes.

## Step 2: add the name in your customer portal

Open your UISP service in the [customer portal](https://login.cloudunifi.com/), then the **Controls** tab and **Custom domain**. Enter the name and add it. We check that the CNAME is in place, then request a certificate for the new name. This takes a minute or two. Adding the name briefly restarts our web proxy: UISP and your devices may drop for up to a minute and reconnect on their own.

## Step 3: tell UISP its name

UISP puts its own idea of its address into the UISP key it gives new devices and into NetFlow settings it writes to routers. Open **Settings**, then **UISP**, then **Server Settings**, and set the hostname to the name you want devices to use. Either name works; pick one and keep it.

Devices already connected keep using the address they were set up with. They do not need to change.

## Removing a name

Remove it in the portal's Custom domain section. If UISP's hostname setting still points at that name, change it back to `yourname.netconsole.cloud` first, and re-point any devices you added using that name. After removal they can no longer reach UISP, and new UISP keys would carry a name that no longer resolves.
