Over the next few weeks, you may notice something small — but important — changing in your Display Church links.
We’re introducing a new default public domain for all Display Church event pages: displayhost.com.
Before you worry: nothing is breaking. Nothing requires action. And nothing will stop working.
In fact, this change lays the foundation for something many churches have been asking for.
What’s Changing?
Starting soon:
- All newly generated public event links will use displayhost.com.
- Existing links will automatically redirect to the new domain.
- Embedded event widgets will continue working exactly as they do today.
- QR codes will remain fully functional.
There is zero action required on your end.
Think of it as us moving into a better building — while keeping mail forwarding permanently turned on.
Why We’re Making This Update
This isn’t just a cosmetic change.
This is step one in a bigger rollout designed to give churches more branding control and flexibility when sharing events online.
Behind the scenes, we’ve been preparing the infrastructure to support:
- Custom subdomains
- Fully custom domains
- Secure SSL provisioning
- Domain verification
- Guided DNS setup
We’re rolling this out in stages to ensure:
- Zero disruption to live events
- Backwards compatibility for all existing links
- Infrastructure stability before public-facing changes
We want to improve things — not create extra work for your team.
What’s Coming Soon
1️⃣ Custom Subdomains
You’ll soon be able to use a branded subdomain like:
yourchurch.displayhost.comThis allows you to personalize your event pages without needing to configure anything technical on your end.
2️⃣ Fully Custom Domains
Shortly after, we’ll introduce support for fully custom domains, such as:
events.yourchurch.org
calendar.yourministry.comThis will include:
- Domain verification
- SSL provisioning
- Clear DNS configuration guidance
- Step-by-step instructions
This means your event pages can live entirely under your church’s brand.
Why This Matters for Churches
Your event links are often the first touchpoint someone has with your church.
A clean, branded domain:
- Builds trust
- Reinforces credibility
- Improves shareability
- Looks better in emails and text messages
- Makes QR codes feel more official
This update helps your digital presence match the excellence of your ministry.
Our Promise: No Disruption
- No existing links will break.
- No embeds will stop working.
- No QR codes need to be regenerated.
- No urgent action is required.
If anything changes visually, it will be smooth and automatic.
Stay Tuned
This is just the beginning.
Over the coming weeks, we’ll share more details about enabling custom subdomains and connecting your own domain.
We’re excited about what this unlocks for churches — and we can’t wait to put more branding control in your hands.
