White Label Documentation Using CNAME

White labeling allows you to host your documentation on your own custom domain instead of the default Docstar URL.

Example:

https://docstar.io/{folder_slug}/{article_slug}

Custom URL:

https://help.yourdomain.com

What is CNAME Pointing?

CNAME pointing allows you to connect a subdomain to your Docstar documentation.

Example:

help.yourdomain.com (Here, help is the subdomain)

#

Step 1: Add Your Domain in Docstar

Go to:

Settings → Domain

Add your full custom domain.

Example:

help.yourdomain.com




#

Step 2: Open Cloudflare DNS Records

Inside Cloudflare:

DNS → Records → Add Record
