Configuring Your Custom Domain

Every Strata portal is reachable immediately at {orgSlug}.strata.io — no setup required. For agencies that want clients to land on a branded URL, you can map any custom domain you control to your portal.

  1. Open Custom Domain settings

    In your Strata dashboard, navigate to Settings → Portal → Custom Domain.

  2. Enter your desired domain

    Type the domain you want to use, for example portal.youragency.com. Subdomains are strongly recommended — see the tip below.

  3. Add a CNAME record with your DNS provider

    Log in to your domain registrar or DNS host and create a CNAME record that points your chosen subdomain to portals.strata.io. Refer to the DNS record example below.

  4. Wait for DNS propagation

    DNS changes typically propagate within 1 hour. In rare cases propagation can take up to 48 hours depending on your registrar and TTL settings.

  5. SSL is provisioned automatically

    Once Strata detects a valid CNAME, an SSL certificate is provisioned via Let's Encrypt at no cost to you. No action is required on your part — HTTPS will be active within minutes of successful DNS verification.

Troubleshooting#

If your portal shows an SSL error more than 2 hours after setup, verify that your CNAME record points to portals.strata.io exactly — including the trailing dot if your DNS provider requires it — and that no conflicting A or AAAA records exist for the same hostname.
