# Use your own domain > Give your Crewtavo an address like crm.yourbusiness.com from Settings → Web address, in four steps, and Crewtavo switches over by itself. Your Crewtavo starts with an address from Railway, like `crewtavo-production-1a2b.up.railway.app`. That's the address in every link Crewtavo sends: invites, quotes, invoices and the client hub. You can give it your own, like `crm.yourbusiness.com`, from **Settings → Web address**. Crewtavo also offers this right after you set up your business. Crewtavo goes on `crm.` in front of your domain, so your website and email at `yourbusiness.com` stay just as they are. Links you've already sent keep working, and the old address forwards to the new one. ## The four steps **Settings → Web address** shows these as a timeline. Each one ticks off when it's done, and the step you're on opens up with what to do. ### 1. Log in with Railway Railway runs your Crewtavo. Logging in lets Crewtavo add your address there and switch over by itself, so you never have to open Railway's settings. If you connected Railway when you set up your business, this step is already done. Otherwise, **Log in with Railway** opens Railway's sign-in: press **Authorize**. To give Crewtavo only your Crewtavo project, choose **Change**, then **Selected projects**, first. Crewtavo only uses that one project, also for [warnings before Crewtavo stops](https://crewtavo.com/docs/hosting/railway-costs/#warnings-before-crewtavo-stops). It keeps the access, encrypted, so other features don't ask again, and renews it daily. **Remove access** in **Settings → Web address** or **Settings → Hosting** ends it. If Railway won't connect, the screen asks for a project token instead. ### 2. Choose your domain Crewtavo asks: **Do you already have a domain?** - **Yes, use mine.** The address box starts with `crm.`; type the rest, the domain your website or work email uses, like `yourbusiness.com`. Pasting your whole website or email address works too. Your website and email at `yourbusiness.com` stay just as they are. To use a name other than `crm`, choose **Use a different name than crm**. - **No, get me one.** This opens Railway's **Buy a Domain** on your crewtavo service, billed to your Railway account. Railway connects the domain itself, so step 3 is done for you. Once it shows up, press **Use this domain** next to it. ### 3. Connect your domain For a domain you already have, Crewtavo shows the two records to add where you bought it, with the exact steps for your provider (GoDaddy, Squarespace, Namecheap, Wix and others) and copy buttons. It checks them as they go in. - **On Cloudflare?** Crewtavo adds both records for you. Press **Make a Cloudflare token**: Cloudflare's token page opens with everything filled in. Press **Continue to summary**, then **Create Token**, and copy the token. Paste it into Crewtavo and press **Add them for me**. Crewtavo uses the token once, adds the records as DNS only (grey cloud), and doesn't keep it. To add them yourself instead, open **Or add them yourself in Cloudflare**. - **Someone else looks after your domain?** Choose **Email the steps** to send the records to whoever set up your website, or **Copy the steps** to text them. :::note If Railway doesn't let Crewtavo add the address, step 3 says "Railway didn't let Crewtavo add" followed by your address. Add it in Railway yourself: open the **crewtavo** service, then **Settings → Networking → Custom Domain**. Crewtavo notices within a couple of minutes, or as soon as you press **Check now**, and does the rest from there, including the Cloudflare records. ::: ### 4. Crewtavo switches over Once Railway has verified the address and issued its certificate, and the address answers as your Crewtavo, Crewtavo switches over by itself: it sets `APP_URL`, redeploys the `auth` and `crewtavo` services, and tells your admins. This usually takes a few minutes after the records are in, sometimes up to an hour. You can close the page while it waits. Until then, Crewtavo stays at its Railway address, so nothing changes for your team. Links you've already sent keep working, and the old address forwards to the new one. Client links, calendar feeds, the texting webhook and assistant connectors keep working on both addresses. ## By hand Under **Can't log in with Railway?** in step 1, **Or set it all up by hand** lists these steps with links, and notices when they're done: 1. In Railway, open the **crewtavo** service, then **Settings → Networking → Custom Domain**, and add your domain. 2. Change the service's `APP_URL` variable to `https://your-domain`. 3. Redeploy the `crewtavo` and `auth` services. Running Crewtavo on your own server instead? See [Self-host with Docker](https://crewtavo.com/docs/hosting/docker/#on-a-server-with-your-own-domain).
