Viewing post in Ability to link custom domain to your game/app page and to your "company" (account) page.

Thanks for the suggestion. We've received this request a few times and I think it could definitely be useful, but it complicates things from a security perspective. Right now we require all pages to go through HTTPS, and if we start hosting for custom domains then we'd have to set up a system to generate certificates for the domains. With Let's Encrypt something like this is more realistic, but because of the implementation complexity it's currently not a high priority for us to add. Another option could be to force people to use a free HTTPS proxy like CloudFlare.

Additionally, third party domains create issues with third party cookies and letting itch.io accounts to be active while on the custom domain.

For now, we've been suggesting people to set up a HTTP redirect to their itch.io page from their custom domain.

Make sure you're using a 300 or 301 redirect and not anything else. There may be a few options with your hosting provider, but it will only work with a plain redirect.
