Custom domain + auto-SSL
Launch on <slug>.thebigclass.com, point a CNAME at us, and we provision SSL automatically. The path-based URL keeps working forever as a fallback.

Steps
- Open /dashboard/portal/domain. Enter your domain (e.g. learn.yourbrand.com).
- Add the CNAME record we show to your DNS provider.
- Click Verify. Once DNS propagates (usually < 30 min), the domain status flips to verified.
- SSL provisions automatically via Let's Encrypt; renews every 60 days.
The /p/<slug>/… path keeps working after CNAME so old bookmarks never break.
Why a custom domain
Your domain is your brand. learn.yourbrand.com reads as a real, owned product — it builds trust at checkout, keeps your SEO equity on your own domain, and (with white-label on) removes every trace of the platform. SSL is automatic, so visitors always see the padlock without you touching a certificate.
Common questions
- How long does verification take? Usually under 30 minutes once the CNAME propagates.
- Do I manage SSL? No — it's provisioned and auto-renewed via Let's Encrypt.
- Will my old links break? No — the /p/<slug>/… path keeps working as a permanent fallback.
- Subdomain or root domain? A subdomain like learn.yourbrand.com via CNAME is the standard, cleanest setup.
