# Blog hosting

Don't want to wire up a CMS? Anomalia hosts your blog for you. Every published article is live on a fast, SEO-ready site out of the box — no plugins, no theme setup.

## It already works — for free

The moment you publish an article it's online at your brand's default URL (`anomalia.so/blog/your-brand`). We handle rendering, SSL, CDN, the sitemap and Article JSON-LD. Nothing to configure.

## Use your own subdomain

Point a subdomain like `blog.yoursite.com` at us and the same blog serves from your domain — with the same SEO value as your main site. On the **Blog** page open the **Domain** section and follow these steps:

Enter your subdomain (e.g. `blog.yoursite.com`) and click **Connect domain**.

In your DNS provider add one **CNAME** record: `Host: blog` → the target we show you.

**Tip:** use a subdomain (e.g. `blog.`) — an apex/root domain needs an ALIAS/ANAME record instead.

Come back and click **Verify**. DNS + SSL can take a few minutes.

## Make it yours

In the **Customize** section set the blog's name, description, accent colour, font and icon (used as the favicon). We control the base layout and mobile rendering so it always looks right; your accent and type make it feel on-brand.

## Hosting vs. external CMS

Hosting is one of several publish destinations, not an either/or. You can keep the hosted blog on _and_ push the same articles to [Shopify](/docs/shopify), [Webflow](/docs/webflow) or [Wix](/docs/wix) — or pull them into your own site with the [Articles API](/docs/api/articles). Publishing an article sends it to every destination you've turned on.

## FAQ

-   **Does a subdomain hurt SEO?** No — a subdomain carries the same SEO value, and every article ships semantic HTML, a sitemap and JSON-LD.
-   **What if I cancel?** Export or push your articles to an external CMS or via the API any time — you're never locked in.
-   **Can I restyle it fully?** The base layout is fixed for reliability; for full control over markup, use the [Articles API](/docs/api/articles) and render it yourself.
