Emby (Custom Domain Addon)
$1.00 / month
Use your own domain — like watch.mydomain.com — for your ElfHosted Emby, instead of the default ElfHosted subdomain.
Add a CNAME, subscribe, and we provision a TLS certificate. Your existing ElfHosted subdomain keeps working too.
What is the Emby Custom Domain Addon?
This addon lets you serve your ElfHosted-hosted Emby (media server) on a domain you own — for example watch.mydomain.com — instead of the default <your-username>-emby.elfhosted.com URL. Both URLs continue to work; the custom one is just nicer to share, easier to remember, and looks better in a browser bar.
How to set it up
- 📝 Decide on the subdomain you want to use (we recommend a subdomain of a domain you control, not a root domain).
- 🌐 Create a CNAME record pointing your custom domain to
<your-username>-emby.elfhosted.com. - 🚫 Make sure any CDN / proxy (Cloudflare orange-cloud, Fastly, etc.) is disabled on that record. We need to terminate TLS at our edge to provision the cert.
- 💳 Subscribe to this addon and provide your custom domain in the order notes.
- 🔒 We provision a Let's Encrypt certificate and route the domain to your stack — usually within a few minutes.
Requirements
- An active Emby subscription on ElfHosted.
- A domain you control with the ability to set CNAME records.
- No CDN / proxy in front of the CNAME (we handle TLS).
Important note
Emby on ElfHosted requires an active Emby Premiere subscription on your Emby account for remote playback.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does my old elfhosted.com URL stop working?
No — both URLs serve your app simultaneously.
Can I use Cloudflare?
Yes, but the record must be DNS-only (grey cloud), not proxied. We need to issue and renew the TLS cert against your domain.
Can I use a root / apex domain?
Subdomains are strongly recommended (CNAME at apex breaks DNS in most setups). If you must use an apex, ALIAS / ANAME records may work depending on your DNS provider.
What happens if I cancel?
Your custom domain stops resolving to the app. The default ElfHosted subdomain keeps working.
How long does provisioning take?
Usually a few minutes once DNS has propagated. Open a Discord ticket if it's been over an hour.
