Disconnecting your custom domain

If you disconnect your current custom domain and connect a new one, it's important to note that an automatic redirect won't be established. Consequently, your old custom domain will no longer work.
The positive aspect is that your page slugs, which determine the structure of your URLs, will remain unaffected. However, the actual domain name will switch to the new one you've linked.
To ensure a seamless transition, you have a few options.
You can redirect the old domain to your newly connected one via your domain registrar, employ a 301 redirect, or utilize a service like https://redirect.pizza/ to manage the redirection process.
These choices will help you maintain consistency when transitioning to your new custom domain.

What happens to links in emails if I disconnect my custom domain?
If you disconnect your custom domain, links in emails you’ve already sent will stop working. This happens because those links are tied to the domain that was connected at the time the email was sent.
Once the domain is disconnected, that connection is broken for those older links. As a workaround, you can set up a redirect with your domain registrar to point your old domain to the newly connected one.
