# Requesting a custom domain

{% hint style="info" %}
Custom domains can only be requested by a Registry Administrator.
{% endhint %}

Registry Administrators can request a custom domain for their Aristotle Registry. Custom domains can then be [set up](https://help.aristotlemetadata.com/administrator-tasks/custom-domains/setting-up-a-custom-domain) by qualified IT staff.

### How to request a custom domain

1. Select 'Aristotle Cloud Dashboard' from the dashboard side panel.
