# Site publishing

> Publish sites from Juno with built-in addresses, custom domains, and automatic SSL.

Juno can publish a page artifact as a hosted site. Each site receives a built-in `juno.page` address, and you can connect a custom domain from your space settings.

## Connect a custom domain

1. Open **Settings** and select **Domains**.
2. Enter the address you want visitors to use.
3. Add the DNS records Juno shows at your DNS provider.
4. Return to Juno and click **I've added these records**.

Juno checks the public DNS records, provisions the SSL certificate, and keeps checking while changes propagate.

## Root domains and www

When you add a root domain such as `example.com`, Juno connects both `example.com` and `www.example.com`. The address you enter becomes the primary address, and the other version redirects to it while preserving the page path and query string.

For example:

* Enter `example.com` to use the root domain as primary.
* Enter `www.example.com` to use `www` as primary.

Your DNS provider must support CNAME flattening, `ALIAS`, or `ANAME` records to point a root domain to Juno. If it does not, connect `www.example.com` or another subdomain instead.

## Subdomains

When you add a normal subdomain such as `launch.example.com`, Juno connects only that exact address. Add the `CNAME` record shown in **Settings** to point it to Juno.

## Domain status

Juno tracks each connected address separately:

* **Pending** means the DNS records still need to be added.
* **Checking** means Juno is waiting for DNS or SSL validation.
* **Partially active** means the primary address works but its paired address still needs attention.
* **Active** means every address in the connection is ready.
* **Issue** means validation failed and Juno needs you to check the displayed error.

Newly connected domains use automatic SSL. DNS changes often appear within minutes but can take longer depending on your provider.
