Who This Is For / When to Use

Use this article if:

  • Your domain is already connected in Kyrios

  • You need to control which page loads at the root domain

  • You want to customize the 404 (error) page

  • You need to manage search engine indexing via robots.txt


Open Domain Management

  1. Go to Settings > Domains.

  2. Locate the domain you want to edit.

  3. Click Manage on the domain row.


Edit Domain Settings

In the domain management panel, click Edit Domain.
​

This opens all editable domain-level settings.


Set a Default Page (Root Domain)

Use a default page if you want your site to load without a path
(example: domain.com instead of domain.com/home).

  1. Locate Default Page.

  2. Select the page you want to load at the root.

  3. Save changes.

If no default page is selected, visitors must include a page path.


Configure a 404 (Error) Page

The 404 page appears when a visitor opens a URL that does not exist.

  1. Locate 404 Page.

  2. Select the page to display for invalid URLs.

  3. Save changes.


Manage robots.txt

Use robots.txt to control how search engines crawl your domain.

  1. Locate robots.txt.

  2. Add or edit rules as needed.

  3. Save changes.

If you do not add rules, Kyrios uses default indexing behavior.


Access the XML Sitemap

Kyrios automatically generates an XML sitemap for connected domains.

  1. In domain settings, locate XML Sitemap.

  2. Click the sitemap link to view or submit it to search engines.


Save and Apply Changes

All domain setting changes:

  • Apply immediately after saving

  • Do not require DNS updates

  • Affect only the selected domain
