Framer Custom Domains
Custom Domains for Framer Sites
Use your own domain and SSL with a Framer site—without changing your Framer plan or content.
Platform constraint
The Framer Limitation
On free plans, Framer restricts how custom domains and branding are handled.
Framer Subdomains
Sites are published to a *.framer.website subdomain unless you upgrade to a paid Framer plan.
Paid Plan Required
Connecting a custom domain requires upgrading your Framer site plan, even for simple projects.
Branding & Hosting Bundled
Custom domains and branding controls are tied to paid Framer plans.
Framer is commonly used for fast design iteration and experimental sites. Many projects don’t need long-term hosting or advanced features, but still benefit from having a real domain for demos, portfolios, or short-lived launches.
Step-by-step
How This Works with Framer
Step 1: Add Your Upstream
Enter your Framer site URL (e.g., your-site.framer.website) as the upstream source. This is where your content is served from.
Step 2: Connect Your Domain
Add your custom domain and begin the verification process to securely map it to your Framer site.
Step 3: DNS Verification
Update your DNS records using the provided instructions. Your domain will activate only after verification succeeds.
Step 4: Automatic SSL & Activation
Once verified, SSL certificates are issued automatically and kept up to date. Your Framer site is now live on your domain.
No surprises, just domains
Important Transparency
This service does not modify your Framer site content, and Framer branding will remain on free Framer plan.
