Disconnecting a custom domain from Patreon

  • Updated

If you no longer want your Patreon page connected to a custom domain, you can disconnect it at any time. When you do, your page will automatically fall back to your original patreon.com/creatorname URL, and fans will still be able to reach you there.

What disconnecting does

  • Removes your domain from the Custom domain section of your Page details
  • Redirects all traffic back to your default patreon.com/creatorname link
  • Ends any active sessions on your custom domain (fans will stay logged in at patreon.com)
  • Disconnecting only changes the URL where fans access your page. It won’t delete any of your posts or content

How to disconnect your domain

  1. From your creator profile, click on Dashboard in the left sidebar menu
  2. Once in the Home tab, select the icon close to the Edit page button and select Page details
  3. In the Basics tab, scroll to the Custom domain section
  4. Find your active domain and click (…) more > Disconnect domain
  5. Select Disconnect to confirm

Your domain will immediately stop pointing to Patreon, and fans will see your patreon.com/creatorname page instead.

After disconnecting

  • Redirects: Your original Patreon URL continues to work, but links to your custom domain will no longer resolve
  • Reconnecting: You can reconnect the same domain later, but you’ll need to repeat the DNS setup steps
  • Switching domains: To use a new custom domain, disconnect the current one and then follow the steps in Connect a custom domain to your Patreon page
  • Reusing the domain elsewhere: If you plan to use your domain for something else, update or remove the DNS records at your domain provider
