Note With this option, Salesforce hosts your domain using your HTTPS certificate. If the DNS record for your domain points to an external service, you can’t use this option. Common examples of an external service include a web application firewall (WAF), a third-party host, or a third-party content delivery network (CDN). To set up a domain that points to an external service, see [Use a Third-Party Service or CDN to Serve Your Custom Domain](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.domain_mgmt_external_host.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "Use a domain that’s hosted by a third-party service to serve your Experience Cloud sites or Salesforce Sites. These third-party services include third-party hosts, web application firewalls (WAFs), and non-Salesforce content delivery networks (CDNs).").

    Before you serve your domain with an HTTPS certificate that you own, confirm that this domain configuration option applies to your configuration. Then update your DNS configuration, and upload your HTTPS certificate.
- **[Set Up a Custom Domain That Uses Your HTTPS Certificate](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.domain_mgmt_cert_setup.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    Upload an HTTPS certificate that you own to Salesforce servers, then serve your custom domain with that certificate. After you set up your domain in Salesforce, that domain can serve your Experience Cloud sites or Salesforce Sites.

- [Options to Serve a Custom Domain](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.domain_mgmt_domain_config_options.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "Salesforce supports three HTTPS options to serve your domain. Whether you serve content for your domain via an HTTPS certificate that you own, through the Salesforce content delivery network (CDN), or through an external service, we require that you use HTTPS. When initial configuration requires that your domain is available before you enable HTTPS, Salesforce also supports a temporary non-HTTPS option.")
