Change your free address

Every new site gets a free address made of random words, such as vast-emu-d9db8fd0.contentmetric.com. You can change it to a name of your own, such as runlab.contentmetric.com. This works on every plan, Free included.

Change it

1. Open your site and go to Site settings, then Domains.
2. In Site address, select Change. If your site already uses your own domain, the button sits on the Free address row instead.
3. Type the name you want in New address. You only type the first part; .contentmetric.com is added for you.
4. Wait for the green line that says the address is available, then select Change address.

Your site answers on the new address straight away.

What happens to the old address

It keeps working. Anyone who opens it, from a shared link, a QR code or a bookmark, lands on the same page at the new address. The old name also stays reserved for your site, so nobody else can take it.

Old names are listed under Old addresses on the same screen, each marked Forwards here.

AI assistants you connected, such as Claude or ChatGPT, keep working. You do not need to connect them again.

Rules for the name

• 2 to 63 characters.
• Lowercase letters, numbers and hyphens only. Capital letters are made lowercase and spaces become hyphens as you type.
• No hyphen at the start or the end.
• Some names are kept for ContentMetric itself, such as www, help or shop. If a name is taken or kept, the box says That address is not available. Try another.

Common questions

How often can I change it? As often as you like. Every old name keeps forwarding to the newest one.

Can I go back to an old name? Yes. Your own old names count as available to you.

Do the links inside my pages change? If the Site URL in General settings was the old free address, we switch it to the new one for you. Links inside your pages, your sitemap and your page previews use the new address from your next publish. Until then they still work, because the old address forwards.

Will this help my site show up on Google? No. A free contentmetric.com address is hidden from search engines whatever its name. To be found on Google, connect your own domain.

I use my own domain. Does changing the free address affect it? No. Your domain, its DNS records and its links stay exactly as they are.

Who can change it? The same people who can connect a domain to the site.
