When you're done, your Chirp's links point to your own domain.

**Who can do this:** the account owner on the Creator, Business or Academy plan, with a domain that's
**Connected** in the Chirp's workspace and within the plan. Until then the box doesn't show. See
[Use your own domain](https://www.chirpbuilder.com/help/publishing/custom-domains).

## Choose it

1. In the editor, under **8. Sharing**, open **Main address** and choose your domain.

   ![The Sharing section of Bike Fix Helper with the Main address box outlined, set to the Chirp Builder link, and under it the Chirp's address on Leo's connected domain, chat.leos-bikes.test.](https://mjmtbasmrtksluvlnema.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/help-media/web-optimized/publishing/main-address/SS-PUB-035-01__main-address__creator__desktop__v01.webp?v=3365c30ffa)

2. Click **Save**. It applies straight away, with no publishing.

## What changes

- **Copy link** gives `https://your-domain/its-web-address`.
- The code in **Embed** uses your domain.
- The Chirp Builder link sends visitors to your domain, an access code in the link included. The
  **Share** window still shows the Chirp Builder link, and it works: visitors end up on your domain.

Collections have the same **Main address** setting in their editor. Their address becomes
`https://your-domain/collection/its-address`.

Without a main address, the Chirp works at its Chirp Builder link and on each of the workspace's
domains. The editor lists those as "On your domain: …".

## Good to know

- **Browsers remember the switch.** If you later change or clear the main address, people who visited
  before may be sent to the old address for a while.
- **Removing the domain** clears the main address, and website code that uses the domain stops working.
- **It's ignored** while the domain isn't connected, when it falls outside your plan's domains, or if
  your plan changes to Essentials.
- **Moving the Chirp to another workspace** clears it: see
