Can I use a subdomain (blog.example.com) as a custom domain?
Yes, subdomains like blog.example.com work as custom domains on Magic Pages. Set up DNS records through your Customer Portal to activate it.

Yes, you can absolutely use a subdomain, like blog.example.com, as a custom domain for your Ghost CMS website hosted on Magic Pages.
Setup is even simpler than connecting a root domain – a subdomain needs just a single DNS record:
- Once you upgraded to a paid plan, log in to your Ghost admin at example.mymagic.page/ghost.
- Click on "Customer Portal" in the left sidebar.
- Navigate to the "Domain" tab and click on "Set up domain".
- Enter your subdomain and continue – the DNS setup window will open, detect your DNS provider, and display the exact record to add in your DNS provider's dashboard.
- After you've added the record, navigate back and click "I have added the records — verify now".
You're all done! Enjoy using your subdomain on your Ghost publication!
