+
+
+Hosting on a custom domain?! What is this? Why is it important? This guide will explain everything.
+
+
+1. Log in to your Buttondown account. Click on the menu in the top right corner and select “Your newsletter”.
+
+2. Enter your custom hosting domain.
+
+ 
+
+3. Scroll to the bottom of the page and click on the blue "Update settings" bar.
+4. Scroll back up to where you entered your custom hosting domain. Look for the red alert. Click on the "Click here" link.
+ 
+5. In a new tab, log into your DNSimple account.
+ 1. From the menu on the left, click on the name of the domain you want to send emails from.
+ 2. Select "DNS" from the menu on the left (orange circle in screenshot below).
+ 3. In the DNS records section, click "Manage"(green circle on the right in screenshot below).
+
+ 
+6. Click on the "ADD A RECORD" button. (Red circle on the left in screenshot above.)
+7. Add the CNAME record - Take the information from the Buttondown popup and put it into DNSimple:
+
+ 1. Click the blue "Add Record" button.
+ 2. Choose "CNAME" from the drop-down menu.
+ 4. In Buttondown, copy everything before ".fictile.space" from the "KEY" column. In DNSimple, paste it in the "Name" field. (Pink arrow on the left in screenshot below.)
+ 5. In Buttondown, copy everything from the "NEEDED" column. In DNSimple, paste it in the "Content" field. (Green arrow on the right in screenshot below.)
+
+ 
+
+8. If it were tea, you’d wait for it to steep. But it’s computers, so DNSimple can take up to 24 hours to process your update. This is a good opportunity to enjoy a cup of tea.
+
+9. Click “Check records” in Buttondown. If it gives you a green checkmark, that means your DNS records are done propagating. You’re good to go!
+
+
+See Also: Sending from DNSimple if you want to send emails from a custom domain (like mail@newsletter.fictile.space).
+
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Did you get an HTTPS error when you tried to go to your custom hosting domain?
+
+This is normal and temporary. Your DNS records are still propogating!
+
+### Are your DNS records still propagating?
+
+I know setting up DNS records is a pain! If it's been 24 hours and you're still not seeing the records get validated in the way you expect, email me and I'm happy to help!

Click the "Manage" button in the "DNS" column for the domain you want to send emails from (orange circle in screenshot below).
+
+ 
+
+6. Add the CNAME record - Take the information from the Buttondown popup and put it in NearlyFreeSpeech.NET:
+
+ 1. Click “Add a DNS Resource Record” in the "Actions" box on the right. (Pink box in screenshot below.)
+
+ 
+
+ 2. In Buttondown, copy everything before ".buttondown.xyz" from the "KEY" column. In NearlyFreeSpeech.NET, paste it in the "Name" field. (Pink arrow on the left in screenshot below.)
+ 3. In NearlyFreeSpeech.NET, select "CNAME" from the "Type" dropdown menu.
+ 4. In Buttondown, copy everything from the "NEEDED" column. In NearlyFreeSpeech.NET, paste it in the "Data" field and add a dot (".") at the end of it. (Green arrow on the right in screenshot below.)
+ 5. Click “Add Resource Record”.
+
+ 
+
+8. If it were tea, you’d wait for it to steep. But it’s computers, so NearlyFreeSpeech.NET can take up to 24 hours to process your update. This is a good opportunity to enjoy some tea.

+
+
+See Also: Sending from NearlyFreeSpeech.NET if you want to send emails from a custom domain (like mail@newsletter.buttondown.xyz).
+
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Did you remember to add a dot (".") at the end of the "Data" field for CNAME records?
+
+NearlyFreeSpeech.NET requires a dot (".") at the end of any CNAME Data that points to a domain other than your own. When you copy and paste something from Buttondown's "NEEDED" column like:
+```
+lquhjw4i2i5ucs72wfo72hamq34c72im.dkim.amazonses.com
+```
+you have to **add the dot at the end** in NearlyFreeSpeech.Net's "Data field", so it looks like:
+
+lquhjw4i2i5ucs72wfo72hamq34c72im.dkim.amazonses.com.
+
+
+
+### Did you get an HTTPS error when you tried to go to your custom hosting domain?
+
+This is normal and temporary. Your DNS records are still propogating!
+
+### Are your DNS records still propagating?
+
+I know setting up DNS records is a pain! If it's been 24 hours and you're still not seeing the records get validated in the way you expect, email me and I'm happy to help!

+ 
+6. Add the CNAME record - Follow the steps below for the record that has “CNAME” in the “TYPE” column:
+
+ 1. In Porkbun, select "CNAME - Canonical name record" from the "Type" dropdown menu.
+ 2. In Buttondown, copy everything before ".buttondown.xyz" from the "KEY" column. In Porkbun, paste it in the "Host" field. (Pink arrow on the left in screenshot below.)
+ 3. In Buttondown, copy everything from the "NEEDED" column. In Porkbun, paste it in the "Answer" field. (Green arrow on the right in screenshot below.)
+ 4. Click “Add”.
+
+ 
+
+7. If it were tea, you’d wait for it to steep. But it’s computers, so Porkbun can take up to 24 hours to process your update. This is a good opportunity to enjoy some tea.
+
+8. Click “Check records” in Buttondown. If it gives you a green checkmark, that means your DNS records are done propagating. You’re good to go!

"text": "Sending from a custom domain Unlike hosting on a custom domain which is largely a cosmetic\nfeature, there are significant benefits to sending your emails from a custom domain. By default, Buttondown sends your emails from its own domain and webserver. This is a good thing — it means when you are first\nstarting your newsletter you can focus on writing, editing, and growing instead of dealing with arcane DNS issues. However, as your newsletter matures it becomes a better idea to think about sending directly from your domain instead. This has a number of benefits: Your emails look more professional. Open and click rates are non-trivially improved for newsletters that are coming from, say, instead of . You can start accruing \"domain reputation\" for your own domain. This improves the overall engagement rate for your emails. More importantly, that domain reputation carries with you — even if you leave Buttondown for another service, so long as that service also allows you to send from a custom domain. Dealing with emails that are ending up in spam If you're not using a custom sending domain, then this is likely because you're sending your email from Buttondown's mail servers, but 'signing' it with your own email address. This looks like spam (or at least mistaken identity) to most mailboxes, especially if you're sending from a or account. To remediate this, you should send your emails directly from Buttondown: This will cause emails to come from your-username@mg.buttondown.email , which will have very high deliverability: Dealing with 'softfails' due to SPF Depending on your newsletter configuration, you might have been asked to set up an SPF entry for your custom domain. This is a DNS record that begins with the string: However, this record can only be used once in a single domain. If you're using the same custom email domain for Buttondown and for an inbox provider such as GSuite, you need to take an extra step\nto combine the two records. Instead of having two separate records, like: and The proper solution is actually to edit the existing one into something like that references both domains: Otherwise, some mailboxes may read the GSuite one and ignore the Mailgun one (set by Buttondown), causing a softfail and thus lower deliverability.

"text": "Privacy and security Why Buttondown requires Javascript on archive pages No interesting reason, just technical debt! This is something I hope to improve\nin the future. GDPR compliance Buttondown is of course fully GDPR compliant. You can read Buttondown's privacy policy here and its cookie policy here . If you're interested in a full data request, please email me . Bug bounty Sadly, Buttondown doesn't have the security budget to offer a bug bounty, but I would be deeply indebted to you for doing so! Please report any vulnerabilities to justin@buttondown.email — I promise to respond promptly and provide a fix as soon as humanly possible. Sincere kudos to the following individuals for reporting vulnerabilities: John Bullecer Vivek Modi Filippo Valsorda Iheanyi Ekechukwu Turning off link or click tracking Go to your account settings page and check the \"opt out of analytics\" checkbox!: Adult content policy My default stance is to support all content so long as it is not harassing, damaging, or otherwise illegal. However, paid newsletters are a bit of a different story. Buttondown uses Stripe to process payments; Stripe has some restrictions on adult content. Specifically, it prohibits: Pornography and other obscene materials (including literature, imagery and other media) depicting nudity or explicitly sexual acts; sites offering any sexually-related services such as prostitution, escorts, pay-per view, adult live chat features; sexually oriented items (e.g., adult toys); adult video stores and sexually oriented massage parlors; gentleman's clubs, topless bars, and strip clubs; sexually oriented dating services Unfortunately, that means things are out of my hands: if you want to send adult content over Buttondown you cannot use its paid subscriptions functionality. Financial assistance to writers No. In the event that I started such a practice, I would publish information about what heuristic I used as well as a full list of writers receiving such assistance. But I will almost certainly never do this. It is a violation of Buttondown's core ethos, which is that Buttondown is a tool rather than an ecosystem — a piece of software, rather than a platform. It's important to me that people using Buttondown are, at the end of the day, writing newsletters , not Buttondowns . WCAG compliance Buttondown follows the compliance checklist as outlined by HHS . If you have any other specific questions regarding Buttondown's accessibility, I'd be happy to answer — and if there are any specific accessibility gaps that you identify\nin Buttondown, please let me know! I'd be happy to prioritize a fix. ",

+ "text": "Sending from a custom domain - DreamHost Log in to your Buttondown account. Click on the menu in the top right corner and select “Your newsletter”. Your Email address must match your custom sending domain. (If your sending domain is buttondown.xyz, your email has to be name@buttondown.xyz ; name@gmail.com won’t work.) Change it if needed. Enter your custom sending domain. Click “Click here” to get the correct DNS records. In another tab, go to your DreamHost Control Panel. From the menu on the left, select “Domains” > “Manage Domains”. Click “DNS” under the domain name you are setting up with Buttondown. Add the TXT record(s) - Follow the steps below for each record that has “TXT” in the “TYPE” column: Click “Add Record” Click the “TXT” box. For the “Host” in DreamHost, enter everything before “.buttondown.xyz” from the Buttondown “KEY”. (Pink arrow on the left in screenshot below.) Enter the “NEEDED” from Buttondown where DreamHost asks for “TXT Value”. (Green arrow on the right in screenshot below.) Click “Add Record”. Add the CNAME records - Follow the steps below for each record that has “CNAME” in the “TYPE” column: Click “Add Record” Click the “CNAME” box. For the “Host” in DreamHost, enter everything before “.buttondown.xyz” from the Buttondown “KEY”. (Pink arrow on the left in screenshot below.) Enter the “NEEDED” from Buttondown where DreamHost asks for “Points to”. (Green arrow on the right in screenshot below.) Click “Add Record”. If it were a pie, you’d wait for it to bake. But it’s computers, so DreamHost can take up to 24 hours to process your update. This is a good opportunity to go bake a pie. Once your DNS records have finished propagating, click “Check records” in Buttondown. If they all come up with green checkmarks, you’re good to go! Troubleshooting Did you enter the DNS “KEY” (aka “Host” or “Name”) correctly? Some registrars want the entire “KEY”, but DreamHost only wants the part before “.buttondown.xyz”. If the “Host”/”Name” field for any of your DNS records in DreamHost ends with “.buttondown.xyz”, remove that part. Are your DNS records still propagating? I know setting up DNS records is a pain! If it's been 24 hours and you're still not seeing the records get validated in the way you expect, email me and I'm happy to help! ",
