Custom domains

Miraheze can make wikis available on custom domains (like wiki.yourdomain.org) on request. The only things we need is you to follow the below steps, and an SSL certificate for your wiki (no SSL certificate, no custom domain - https://www.startssl.com/ and https://letsencrypt.org/ issue free SSL certificates):

If you can change the DNS name servers:

Note: if you already host a website on this domain, it will become unreachable. Change the name servers to "ns1.miraheze.org" and "ns2.miraheze.org" (contact your domain registrar if you don't know how to do this); Put your custom domain (e.g. wiki.yourdomain.org) in the "custom domain" field and make the "subdomain" field empty; Send a mail to csr@undefinedmiraheze.org with the request to generate a CSR for your SSL certificate (do not forget to include your domain name!);

If you can't change the DNS name servers: Add a CNAME on the subdomain you want (e.g. "wiki."), and point it to "mw-lb.miraheze.org"; Put your custom domain in the "custom domain" field (and leave the "subdomain" field empty); Send a mail to csr@undefinedmiraheze.org with the request to generate a CSR for your SSL certificate (do not forget to include your domain name!);

In the meantime a wiki creator will create the wiki, and associate a .miraheze.org domain with it. A system administrator who handles your CSR request will shortly after generate a CSR & private key (for use at our own servers), and the requested CSR will be emailed to you. You use this CSR to request your SSL certificate vendor to generate an SSL certificate with the CSR we gave you. You will need to email us the generated SSL certificate when this is done. If all of these steps are done, we will add the custom domain to your wiki, and we will notify you when this all is done.
