Setting up Hashnode with an owns.it.com subdomain

This guide will walk you through the process of setting up your Hashnode blog with an owns.it.com subdomain instead of the default hashnode.dev domain.

​

Configure Hashnode

1. Log in to your Hashnode account
2. Click on your avatar (bottom-left corner on desktop, top-right on mobile)
3. Select Blog Dashboard from the popup modal
4. Navigate to the Domain tab
5. Enter your owns.it.com subdomain without the www or https:// prefix
6. Click the Update button

​

Create the Domain File

Create a JSON file inside the domains directory (domains/subdomain.json) with the following content and submit a pull request:

{
    "owner": {
        "username": "your-github-username",
        "email": "[email protected]"
    },
    "records": {
        "CNAME": "hashnode.network"
    }
}

Replace:

• your-github-username with your GitHub username
• [email protected] with your email address

Important: If your domain file already exists, make sure to remove any old records before adding the new CNAME record.

​

Your blog should be live!

After your pull request has been merged, your Hashnode blog should be accessible at your owns.it.com subdomain. The process may take some time for DNS changes to propagate (typically within an hour, but can take up to 48 hours).

​

Troubleshooting

If your blog isn’t working:

1. Check that your domain file is correctly formatted
2. Verify that the CNAME record is set to hashnode.network
3. Confirm that your domain is correctly set in Hashnode’s dashboard
4. Wait for DNS changes to propagate
