# Site address and the free .qixoo.app subdomain

Any site Qixoo hosts for you — an AI-generated site, or extra pages you create — can
have a clean address such as `yourname.qixoo.app` instead of a long link.

## Claiming one

On the site card in the dashboard, click **Claim a free .qixoo.app address**, pick a
name (3–32 characters: lowercase letters, digits and hyphens) and it goes live
shortly. You can change or remove it at any time. Available on **every plan,
including Free**.

Sites made with the AI Site Builder claim their address automatically from the
business name. Cyrillic names are transliterated — «Романо Барбершоп» becomes
`romano-barbershop.qixoo.app`.

## The "activating…" badge

While the address is being set up, the site card shows it with an "activating…" badge
instead of a link. The name is reserved for you; it just cannot open in a browser
yet. Until the badge disappears, share the site's regular link — the one shown above
the Site ID on the card — which always works. The address becomes a clickable link on
its own once activation completes.

If the badge is still there after a day, contact the team with the site name.

## What the subdomain does and does not do

The address serves the site **Qixoo hosts** for you. If you connected your own site
with the one-line script, that site keeps living on your own hosting — the subdomain
does not move it.

## Your own custom domain

Connecting your own domain such as `yourbrand.com` is **not available yet**. It is on
the roadmap. For now, either use the free `.qixoo.app` address, or download the HTML
and host it on your own domain — see
