Micro.blog domain aliases

I added a new feature to Micro.blog Premium today called domain name aliases. Often when people host their blog on Micro.blog, they later change their mind about the primary domain name for their blog. Now you can more easily redirect multiple domain names to the same blog so no previous links break.

For example, maybe you start with the subdomain micro.yourdomain.com but later want it to just be the root domain yourdomain.com. Micro.blog handles HTTPS and redirecting any path in the URL between domain names.

Here’s a screenshot with a couple test examples for my blog. You can find this feature under Account → New Domain Alias:

This option is available for Micro.blog Premium subscribers. Micro.blog Premium also includes support for up to 5 separate hosted blogs and any number of single-page websites.

Oh, sweet. This is right up my street and another reason to go premium. Especially as I want to move my photo blog to m.b.

Jarrod Blundy

Yes!! Thank you. I was thinking about this problem just this morning!

Jamie Thingelstad

good add! I set one up and no longer have to use an S3 bucket with cloudfront to do this.
