Letterdrop lets you make your blog and newsletter your own by hosting your blog on your own custom domain and also sending email from your own domain. We like to operate behind the scenes.

First, enter your domain name.

This could be a primary domain like [stratechery.com](<http://stratechery.com>) in which case anyone who types stratechery.com in their browser will end up at your blog's home page.

Or this could be a subdomain like [blog.mydomain.com](<http://blog.letterdrop.com>) in which case anyone who types in [blog.mydomain.com](<http://blog.letterdrop.com>) in their browser will end up at your blog's home page. In this case, you can still point your main domain mydomain.com to another page.
