Smugmug allows custom domains, including support for https. It also allows for custom branding and layout design (your name here, powered by Smugmug).
I wasn't able to get a bare domain (e.g. domainname.tld) to work directly, so i set up a redirect to www.domainname.tld from there and it's been good for me. I don't know if that has changed since I set it up.
- maxxxxx 8y agoCustom domains only seem to be available from the "Power" plan upwards as as I can tell. Besides custom domain: what are the pros/cons of Flickr vs SmugMug?
- scblock 8y agoI guess it depends on your use case. I'm interested in having my own gallery I can share, rather than a Flickr page. I prefer "my photo gallery site" to "my pictures on Flickr", so for me the custom domain and branding is important. I don't particularly care about the community aspects beyond viewing the photos of some of my friends, so that piece of Flickr holds little interest to me. Of course when I set it up I was also very disillusioned about Yahoo and wanted to get away from that and into something that felt more sustainable.
- colanderman 8y agoI can't speak for SmugMug specifically, but generally the reason you can't use bare domains to point to hosted services is that the hosted services want you to use a CNAME record so they can cycle in/out IP addresses at will. CNAME records aren't allowed on bare domains.
