Using Your Klimb Subdomain

Every academy on Klimb comes with a free address on klimblearn.com: your subdomain, in the form <slug>.klimblearn.com. It works the moment you create your academy, requires zero setup, and is a perfectly good permanent home. This guide explains how your subdomain works and when keeping it is the right call.

How your subdomain works

When you created your academy, you chose a slug — the short, URL-friendly name that forms your subdomain. A slug of brightpath gives you brightpath.klimblearn.com. This address:

• Is live immediately, with no DNS or configuration needed.
• Is automatically secured with HTTPS — the padlock is there from day one.
• Carries all your branding: your theme, logo and colors, and home page.

Learners visit it to browse courses, enroll, and watch lessons exactly as they would on a custom domain.

When to keep the subdomain

A custom domain is a nice touch, but plenty of successful academies run happily on their klimblearn.com subdomain. Keeping it makes sense when:

• You’re just launching. Get your first courses live and selling without waiting on DNS. You can always add a custom domain later.
• You don’t own a domain. No need to buy one solely for your academy — the subdomain is free and fully functional.
• You want zero maintenance. There are no DNS records to manage and nothing that can break. It just works.
• Your academy stands alone. If you don’t have a separate main website to match, a clean klimblearn.com address is perfectly professional.

Choosing a good slug

Because your slug is part of every link you share, pick it thoughtfully:

• Use lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens.
• Keep it short, memorable, and tied to your brand.
• Avoid changing it after launch — learners bookmark and share the address, and changing the slug can break existing links.

Upgrading to a custom domain later

Starting on the subdomain doesn’t lock you in. When you’re ready for a fully branded address like academy.yourbrand.com, follow Connecting a Custom Domain. Importantly:

• Your klimblearn.com subdomain keeps working as a fallback even after you add a custom domain, so older links and bookmarks never break.
• All branding, courses, learners, and signed video playback carry over automatically — nothing to migrate.

This means you lose nothing by launching on the subdomain first and upgrading once you’ve found your footing.

Share it with confidence
