Your Story Deserves Its Own Home
In a world of endless social media feeds and algorithmic timelines, there's something powerful about having a space that's truly yours. A place where your thoughts, experiences, and creative work live under your name—not buried in someone else's platform.
Today, we're excited to introduce custom subdomains for Storyie Pro subscribers. Now you can share your diaries, notes, and collections at your very own username.storyie.com URL.
Personal branding isn't just for influencers anymore. Whether you're a writer building a portfolio, a professional establishing your online presence, or someone who simply wants a memorable way to share meaningful moments with friends and family, having your own corner of the web matters.
What You Get with Your Personal Subdomain
When you upgrade to Storyie Pro, you unlock your personal subdomain at username.storyie.com. Here's what that means for you:
Instant Setup, No Technical Knowledge Required
Unlike traditional custom domains that require DNS configuration, nameserver changes, and waiting for propagation, your Storyie subdomain is ready the moment you set your username. No technical expertise needed—just choose your name and you're live.
Automatic Security
Every subdomain comes with automatic SSL certification. Your visitors will always see the secure padlock icon, and all connections are encrypted. We handle the certificate management behind the scenes so you never have to think about it.
All Your Content, One Address
Your subdomain isn't just for a single page. It's the home for everything you create on Storyie:
- Your diaries at
username.storyie.com/d/:id - Your notes at
username.storyie.com/n/:id - Your tag collections at
username.storyie.com/tags/:topic
Share one URL, and people can explore all your public content organized exactly how you intended.
Use Cases: How People Are Using Their Subdomains
For Creators and Writers
If you're a writer, blogger, or content creator, your subdomain becomes your portfolio. Publish your best work as public diaries, organize them with tags like "essays," "poetry," or "travel," and share your subdomain as your writing home.
Unlike traditional blogging platforms that come with their own branding and design choices, your Storyie subdomain puts your content front and center. The clean, minimal design ensures readers focus on your words, not on platform chrome.
Many writers use Storyie as their "thinking in public" space—a place to develop ideas, share drafts, and build an audience around their authentic voice.
For Professionals
Your subdomain can serve as a living digital business card. Create notes about your work, share case studies as diaries, and use tags to organize your professional content by topic or project.
When someone asks for your portfolio or wants to learn more about your work, you can share a memorable, professional URL: yourname.storyie.com.
It's particularly powerful for:
- Consultants sharing insights and methodologies
- Designers documenting their process
- Developers writing technical notes (check out our technical deep-dive on how we built multi-tenant subdomain routing)
- Coaches and mentors publishing guidance and frameworks
For Personal Journalers
Not everyone wants to be a "content creator." Sometimes you just want a beautiful, simple way to share life updates with people who matter.
Your subdomain gives family and friends an easy-to-remember address where they can check in on your adventures, milestones, and everyday moments. Instead of texting links to individual posts, you can say "check out my page at yourname.storyie.com" and they'll always find your latest updates.
Some of our users create:
- Travel diaries for friends following along on adventures
- Family journals documenting children's growth
- Recipe collections for loved ones
- Memory books for special occasions and milestones
