Domains

What this controls

Domains determine where your website is reachable and how additional domains redirect.

Add or edit a domain

Options you can set

• Preserve query parameters: keep tracking parameters in redirects.
• Enable Email Marketing: show the DNS records needed for email sending and branded link tracking.

Email and tracking DNS

When Enable Email Marketing is on, Domains shows the email DNS records for that domain alongside the website DNS records.

• Add each shown record at your DNS provider.
• Copy record names, values, priorities, and TTL values directly from the table.
• Review each record's verification status after saving.
• Add the recommended DMARC TXT record when your DNS provider does not already have one.

If you turn email marketing off for a domain, confirm whether the email sending setup should remain saved or be removed. Removing it means the domain will need DNS verification again if you enable it later.

DNS and verification behavior

• Domain cards now show live DNS instructions per domain.
• A domain can be live and verified while still showing a DNS update recommendation.
• When a DNS update is recommended, update records to the latest values shown in Domains.
• Use Verify after DNS updates to refresh status and recommendations.
• After the primary domain verifies, Hiveality refreshes public page metadata, sitemap URLs, and robots.txt so search engines see the preferred website address.

Tips

• If you already have a primary domain, new domains default to redirects.
• Use 301 for permanent moves and 302 for temporary moves.

Common issue

• Domain Already Connected Elsewhere — what to do if your domain is already connected to another Vercel project or team.
