Jamdesk Subdomains

Every Jamdesk project gets a free subdomain at yourproject.jamdesk.app. This is your default documentation URL and works immediately after your first deployment.

How Subdomains Work

When you create a project, Jamdesk automatically assigns a subdomain based on your project slug:

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

Subdomain Naming Rules

Subdomains must follow these 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

To change your subdomain:

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

After changing:

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

SSL Certificates

SSL certificates are automatically provisioned for all *.jamdesk.app subdomains. HTTPS is required—HTTP requests redirect to HTTPS.

Rate Limits

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

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

When to Use a Custom Domain

Use a custom domain when:

• 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.
