I want to set up …	Docs
a new custom domain	Register and buy a new custom domain with the option to manage it with Netlify DNS Why Netlify DNS?
a custom domain for my site/app that I already own, such as company.com or shop.company.com	Bring your own domain
Netlify DNS	Set up Netlifly DNS
just a standalone subdomain, such as docs.company.com, where company.com is a domain managed or hosted outside of Netlify and where docs.company.com is managed by Netlify DNS for your production branch	Delegate a standalone subdomain
just https for my domain or an SSL certificate	HTTPS SSL
An alias domain or an additional custom domain since my site/app on Netlify already has a primary domain	Add an alias domain
A domain redirect	Add domain redirect
A domain transfer	Transfer a domain
A shared custom subdomain for preview environments of my site/app, such as early-access.company.com instead of the default Netlify subdomain of yoursitename.netlify.app so I can use tools requiring shared subdomains with the production URL	Configure an automatic subdomain for deploys
