Your own address

Serve your public updates, status page, and roadmap on a hostname you own. Premium.

On Premium, Settings → Domain lets people open the same public pages on a hostname you own, such as updates.yourcompany.com. The default addresses on app.hubbo.io keep working until that hostname is ready, and they come back if you remove it or move to a lower plan. Free and Standard cannot add an address.

What changes

  • One hostname per account.
  • The paths stay the same: the notification list, a single notification, the status page, and a roadmap.
  • Opening the hostname itself goes to the homepage you pick under What people open: the update list, the status page, or one published roadmap.
  • Once the badge says Ready, links Hubbo shares use this address.

What stays put

  • Your website, email, and the in-app widget stay where they are. The widget still loads from Hubbo.
  • The admin app stays on app.hubbo.io. Settings, analytics, and the rest of the admin are not available on your hostname.
  • The embed script still comes from api.hubbo.io.

Add the address

  1. Open Settings → Domain.
  2. Enter a hostname you control, with a word in front of your domain, such as updates.yourcompany.com. An IP address, localhost, a name that ends in hubbo.io, or a temporary hosting name is not accepted.
  3. Save. Hubbo shows the DNS records to add at the company that manages the domain.

The records

Each record has a type, a name, and a value. The first record points your hostname at origin.saas.hubbo.io. Some forms want only the short name, such as updates. Others want the full name, such as updates.yourcompany.com. Hubbo shows both.

Choose Check again after you add them. Another record can appear for the certificate, the padlock in the browser. Add that one too. When the badge says Ready, people can open the address. A browser or network can still show the old page for a while; try another device or network if it does.

Leave the proxy off

If the DNS form has a proxy or an orange cloud, leave it off. The record has to stay DNS-only.

If you change plan

A plan below Premium removes the hostname. Public pages go back to app.hubbo.io. You can add the address again on Premium.

Developers: the default URL patterns are in Public URLs.
