# Customize a Revdoku Website URL, Custom Domain, and Auto-Index Page

> Tune a published Revdoku site: copy the live URL, connect a custom domain, and customize the generated Auto-Index Page.

Use website settings to copy your live URL, connect a custom domain, manage tracking, and customize the index page for your files.

## 1. Start from a live bucket

When a bucket is published, the header shows the live site state and the current Revdoku site URL. Open **Website and publishing settings** to manage the site.

## 2. Open website settings

The settings menu separates publishing and access controls from website configuration. Use **Website settings...** for the URL, domain, tracking, password gate, Auto-Index Page, database, and miscellaneous options.

## 3. Review the Website URL tab

The **Website URL** tab shows the public URL, copy and open actions, view tracking, password gate page options, and visitor activity tracking. This is the home base for general website settings.

## 4. Connect a custom domain

Use the **Custom domain** tab when you want the Revdoku site to live on a branded domain instead of the default `localhost3000.love` address. Its `revdoku.site` alias remains available.

## 5. Customize the Auto-Index Page

Use the **Auto-Index Page** tab to adjust the generated index page Revdoku creates for file-based buckets. The template supports macros such as `{{title}}`, `{{description}}`, `{{files}}`, and `{{theme_switch}}`.

## 6. Republish after changes

Apply template and website setting changes by republishing the live site. The live publish dialog is also where you confirm the current URL, access mode, view count, and publish status.

## From a folder of files to a controlled website

Keep the default Revdoku URL or connect your own domain. Customize the file index, choose access settings, and republish when the site is ready. [Create a free Revdoku account](https://app.revdoku.com/users/sign_up) to try it.
