A vanity domain is a custom web address that you map to your ScreenSteps site to create a branded or memorable URL. Changing your vanity domain means updating the web address that users use to access your site.
What happens if you change the vanity domain?
When you change your vanity domain, any links that previously pointed to the old domain will no longer work. ScreenSteps does not manage redirects from your old domain to your new one, so users following old links may encounter errors unless you set up a redirect elsewhere.
- Old links to the previous domain will be broken after the change.
- ScreenSteps cannot automatically redirect traffic from the old domain.
- Redirects must be managed through your DNS provider if needed.
Considerations
Understanding the impact of changing your vanity domain helps prevent broken links and ensures a smooth transition for your users. Planning ahead can help maintain access to your content and preserve your site's visibility.
- Broken links can disrupt user access and reduce site traffic.
- Proactive planning can help maintain continuity for your audience.
