What level of control do I have over my custom domain?

You own your domain and your original content.

You register and are responsible for paying and maintaining your custom domain. According to the Medium TOS, you also own the rights to whatever original material you publish on Medium.com.

You must have ownership or copyright privileges of content you publish on your custom domain. You cannot publish someone else's intellectual property or material, outside of Fair Use.

Our Copyright & DMCA Policy are still in effect, even though it's your custom domain.

Full Access To Medium Features

By using Medium to publish on your custom domain, you are able to access the full features of the Medium platform.

Using Publications

At this time, Medium only offers custom domains being mapped to Medium publications. You cannot map an @profile name to a custom domain. So if you have a publication you'd like to have linked to a custom domain, get started here. 

You may want to read through our publications section to get to know how publications work and what features and functionality are already built in and available to you.

Custom Code

You will not be able to add any custom code blocks, widgets, HTML or any other code outside of what is available through Medium Publications functionality.
