Custom domains on ZebraSnap
Use your own domain - apex or subdomain - for your photographer profile and albums. What it does, who can use it, what we manage for you.
What it is
By default your portfolio lives at zebrasnap.com/your-username. With a custom domain it can live at yourname.com (or gallery.yourname.com if you prefer a subdomain). All of your existing photo URLs keep working - visitors who open the old URLs are redirected to the same page on your domain.
Your domain also carries your brand: your logo and colors at the top of every page. Set them up in Brand settings.
Who can use it
Custom domains are included in the Lite, PRO and Enterprise plans. Compare them in Plans, prices and limits.
If you downgrade to a plan without custom domains, your domain stays online for 14 more days. We email you when the grace period starts and again when the domain is paused. After that, your portfolio is only reachable at zebrasnap.com/your-username. If you upgrade again, the domain reactivates without you doing anything. Details in What happens to my domain if I downgrade?.
What we handle
- HTTPS / SSL - automatic, renewed forever, free.
- Routing - your homepage, folders, albums, and OG images all served from your domain.
- Caching - same as the rest of ZebraSnap; your photos stay fast.
- DNS verification - we re-check your records daily and warn you if something breaks.
What we don't touch
- Your email. We don't host email and we don't change MX records - keep your current email setup as-is. If you bought your domain through us, you can add MX records for your email provider in the DNS records section of Settings → Custom Domain.
- Other websites. We only add the records we ask you to add.
Two paths
- You already own a domain (or subdomain)? Bring it. See Connect a domain you already own.
- You don't own one yet? Buy it through ZebraSnap from $19/year. See Buying a domain through ZebraSnap.
