# Add custom ingest domains

With custom ingest domains, you can configure your RTMPS feeds to use an ingest URL that you specify instead of using `live.cloudflare.com.`

Note

Custom Ingest Domains cannot be configured for domains with [zone holds](https://developers.cloudflare.com/fundamentals/account/account-security/zone-holds/) enabled.

1. In the Cloudflare dashboard, go to the **Live inputs** page.  
[ Go to **Live inputs** ](https://dash.cloudflare.com/?to=/:account/stream/inputs)
2. Select **Settings**, above the list. The **Custom Input Domains** page displays.
3. Under **Domain**, add your domain and select **Add domain**.
4. At your DNS provider, add a CNAME record that points to `live.cloudflare.com`. If your DNS provider is Cloudflare, this step is done automatically.

If you are using Cloudflare for DNS, ensure the [**Proxy status**](https://developers.cloudflare.com/dns/proxy-status/) of your ingest domain is **DNS only** (grey-clouded).

## Delete a custom domain

1. From the **Custom Input Domains** page under **Hostnames**, locate the domain.
2. Select the menu icon under **Action**. Select **Delete**.
