A custom domain lets your review forms and Wall of Love load on a branded address like reviews.yourdomain.com instead of a feedspace.io link. When you set one up, Feedspace provisions the SSL certificate for that address on its own, so the pages load securely over HTTPS without you buying or installing a certificate.
You might be planning the DNS for a domain you also use for your main website, and you want to know what happens to HTTPS, where the subdomain points, and whether anything redirects. This article explains exactly what your custom domain does once it is live.
Yes. After your DNS record verifies, Feedspace handles the SSL certificate for your custom domain for you. During this stage the setup screen shows Activation in progress and the status badge reads Pending. Once activation finishes, the badge changes to Live and your forms and Wall of Love load over HTTPS on your domain.
You do not upload a certificate or configure HTTPS anywhere. Activation usually completes shortly after DNS verification, and you can leave the page while it finishes.
Feedspace connects a custom domain with a CNAME record, and a CNAME points one subdomain at app.feedspace.io. Use a subdomain such as reviews.yourdomain.com or feedback.yourdomain.com, not your root domain (yourdomain.com).
Pointing your root domain at Feedspace would send your main website address to your review pages, which is not what you want. A subdomain keeps your main site untouched and gives your reviews their own branded address. The domain field in Feedspace shows the example reviews.yourdomain.com for this reason.
Once your custom domain is live, the subdomain serves your Feedspace review forms and Wall of Love on your own address over HTTPS. It does not redirect visitors to your main website, and it does not redirect them to feedspace.io. Each form and page keeps its own path, so a form link looks like reviews.yourdomain.com/v/abc123.
If you point a subdomain you also use for something else, that subdomain will now serve Feedspace, so pick one that is not already in use.

No. Feedspace provisions the SSL certificate for your custom domain after the DNS record verifies, so your forms and Wall of Love load over HTTPS without you installing anything.
Use a subdomain like reviews.yourdomain.com. Feedspace connects with a CNAME record, which points a subdomain at app.feedspace.io, and this keeps your main website on your root domain untouched.
No. Once your domain is live, the subdomain serves your review forms and Wall of Love directly on your own address. Visitors stay on your branded domain.
SSL activates after DNS verification, so a brand new connection can show as Pending while activation is in progress. Once the status reads Live, the certificate is in place and the address loads over HTTPS. If you use Cloudflare, make sure the proxy (orange cloud) is turned off for this record so the CNAME resolves to Feedspace.
