Jamdesk Subdomains

Every Jamdesk project gets a free subdomain at yourproject.jamdesk.app. It is your default documentation URL.

How Subdomains Work

Jamdesk assigns a subdomain from your project slug when you create a project:

Your subdomain is active as soon as your first build completes.

Subdomain Naming Rules

• Lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens only
• Must start with a letter
• Cannot start or end with a hyphen
• 3-63 characters long
• Must be unique across all Jamdesk projects

Changing Your Subdomain

1. Go to your project in the Dashboard
2. Open Settings → General
3. Update the Project Slug field
4. Click Save

What changes:

• Your new subdomain is active immediately
• The old subdomain returns 404
• Bookmarks and external links break
• Search engine rankings reset

SSL Certificates

Jamdesk provisions SSL certificates for every *.jamdesk.app subdomain. HTTP requests redirect to HTTPS.

Rate Limits

Jamdesk subdomains share infrastructure with other projects. For high-traffic documentation:

• Use a custom domain for dedicated resources
• Contact support if you expect sustained high traffic

When to Use a Custom Domain

Pick a custom domain if:

• You need URL stability (subdomain changes break links)
• You want your docs at docs.yourcompany.com
• You need to match your company's domain
• Your documentation is customer-facing

See Custom Domains for setup instructions.
