Surpasso Blog
Let Surpasso provide your blog pages and hosting.
Whether your main website uses Shopify, Wix, Ghost, WordPress, or another platform, you can use Surpasso Blog alongside it. It is also an option if connecting your platform proves difficult. Keep your main website where it is and let Surpasso host your blog. You need your own domain and access to its DNS settings.
Before you start
- PRO includes a free blog.
- A blog address such as
blog.example.com, and access to the settings for your domain. - Your name, logo, and brand color are correct in Brand Context.
Review your blog
In Surpasso, open Integrations → Create blog. Review the name, logo, and color from Brand Context, then continue. You can edit the appearance later in blog settings.
If Surpasso already publishes to another website, you can choose whether new articles should go to this blog instead.
Enter your blog address
Enter a full subdomain such as blog.example.com and select Get DNS records. Open the DNS provider managing example.com; this may be different from the company where you bought the domain.
Add every record shown in the dialog, including any ownership or HTTPS verification records. Copy the actual values from Surpasso.
Add records for your chosen blog subdomain and keep your existing main website and email records. For a Shopify-managed domain, open Settings → Domains → select the domain → DNS settings. For DNS managed by Wix, open Domains → Domain Actions → Manage DNS Records. If DNS is managed elsewhere, including custom domains used with Ghost, add the records at that DNS provider. If you only have a platform-provided address, you will need your own domain first.
| DNS provider field | What to enter |
|---|---|
| Type | The displayed record type, such as CNAME |
| Name / Host | The displayed name; often blog if the provider appends example.com |
| Target / Value | The exact target shown in your Surpasso dialog |
Check the domain connection
Save the DNS records, return to Surpasso, and select Check domain connection. When the check passes, your blog address is connected.
DNS changes may take time. You can leave the setup and prepare articles, then resume domain setup in blog settings. The preview address is for checking the result; connect your subdomain for the branded public address.
Publish your first article
To send articles to this blog, select Set default destination in blog settings if that button is shown. Open Content Calendar, choose an existing article, review it, and publish.
Use View blog in blog settings and open the article page. The branded blog is ready when an article is published and the domain and HTTPS are connected. Creating the blog alone does not generate or publish an article.
Sending later edits
Keep writing and publishing in Content Calendar. Surpasso takes care of the blog pages and hosting. Save an edit and publish the article again to update it.
Use blog settings to change the name, logo, or blog address, or to export articles.
The domain is pending, or only the preview works
Check every record's type, name, and target against the current dialog. Avoid entering the root domain twice if your DNS provider appends it automatically. Confirm you edited the provider that actually manages the domain's DNS, then allow time and check again. Resume in blog settings if you closed the setup.
The blog has no articles
In Integrations, check that this blog is selected for publishing. Make sure you published the article, rather than only saving a draft. Open its article page after publishing.
Languages and moving an existing blog
The default language uses shorter paths; other languages can use prefixes such as /ja/.... Surpasso generates language switching and hreflang, while existing articles retain their locked public paths. Moving an old blog requires separate content migration and redirects; connecting the domain does not perform that migration.
When PRO ends
PRO includes a free blog. When PRO access ends, the blog and public article links go offline. Your content and settings are retained and remain exportable. If cancellation is scheduled for the end of your paid period, hosting continues until that access ends.
The preview address is for checking your blog and is blocked from search indexing. Connect your own subdomain for your public blog. Existing articles and redirects need a separate migration; articles are not automatically synced back to your original platform.
