Set up your own web address, add a live stream, and configure a custom email address.
Beyond editing your website's content, there are a few settings that control how your site works behind the scenes — your web address, live streaming, and email. You'll find these in Settings > Website.
Find website settings under Settings in the sidebar
Your Own Web Address (Custom Domain)
By default, your church's website lives on our platform (like yourchurch.hubl.church). With a custom domain, visitors can find you at your own address — like yourchurch.org.
1
Enter your domain
In the Custom Domain section, type in the web address you own (for example, www.yourchurch.org) and click Add Domain.
Enter the web address you want to use
2
Update your DNS settings
After adding your domain, you'll see instructions for updating your DNS settings. This connects your web address to your church's site. The instructions will show you exactly what to add — usually a CNAME record.
Follow the DNS instructions to connect your web address
Note
DNS changes can take a few minutes to a few hours to take effect. Don't worry if it doesn't work immediately — check back in an hour or two.
3
Verify your domain
Once your DNS is set up, the platform will automatically verify the connection. You'll see a green checkmark when everything is working.
Warning
Custom domains require a Website plan or higher. If you're on the free plan, you'll need to upgrade first.
Live Stream
Show your live church services directly on your website. When you go live on YouTube or Twitch, your website automatically detects it and shows the stream to visitors.
4
Add your channel
In the Live Stream section, paste your YouTube channel URL, YouTube handle (like @YourChurch), or Twitch channel name. The platform will find your channel automatically.
Paste your YouTube or Twitch channel info
5
Test it out
When your channel is live, a "Live Now" badge appears on your website and visitors can watch directly from your site.
Note
Live stream requires a Full plan. The stream detection checks automatically — you don't need to do anything special when you go live.
Custom Email Address
When you send messages through the platform (like event reminders or announcements), they come from a default email address. With a custom email domain, messages come from your church's own address — like hello@yourchurch.org.
6
Add your email domain
In the Custom Email Domain section, enter the domain you want to send email from (for example, yourchurch.org) and click Add Domain.
7
Verify your email domain
Similar to the custom web address, you'll need to add some DNS records to verify you own the domain. Follow the on-screen instructions to add the required records.
Follow the instructions to verify your email domain
8
Set your from address
Once verified, choose the email address messages will come from (for example, hello@yourchurch.org or info@yourchurch.org).
Warning
Custom email domains require a Full plan. If you disconnect your email domain, messages will go back to using the default platform address.
