Custom domains and HTTPS

Your journal at its own URL — automatically secured

Set your journal's custom domain in the settings panel. Point your DNS CNAME to journals.alkademy.com. TLS is provisioned automatically — no SSL certificate purchase, no renewal management. The journal's public site works at both the platform URL and the custom domain simultaneously.

  • Custom domain set in settings — no code required
  • CNAME setup: point journal.yourdomain.com → journals.alkademy.com
  • Automatic TLS certificate provisioned on first visit
  • Both platform URL and custom domain resolve to the same site
  • Volumes, issues, and article pages all work at the custom domain
  • Available on Pro and Enterprise plans

Step 1: Enter domain in journal settings
