# Custom domain

> Host your documentation at your website's custom domain

To set up your documentation on a custom domain, you'll need to set your desired custom domain in your Mintlify settings and configure your DNS settings on your domain provider.

<Info>
  Looking to set up a custom subdirectory like `mintlify.com/docs`? See the [custom subdirectory](/advanced/subpath/cloudflare) docs.
