Set up your hosted blog

Get a fast, SEO-friendly blog hosted by AltrIQ Reach — no WordPress needed — and put it on your own domain.

⏱ 3 min readUpdated October 2026

No CMS? The hosted blog gives any site a real blog — written in Reach, served as fast SEO pages, optionally on your own subdomain like blog.yoursite.com.

1

Open the hosted blog

In the sidebar, open the hosted blog page. Click Write a new post or Generate with AI.

2

Write and publish

Add a title, a cover image and your content, then Publish. Each post becomes a fast, search-friendly page with share buttons and comments.

3

Put it on your own domain

In Where your blog lives, enter your domain and click Get steps. Reach detects your DNS provider and gives you the exact record to add, then verifies it.

Good to know: Your domain also needs to be added as a custom domain in hosting for the SSL certificate — Reach walks you through it.
4

Match your brand

Set your logo, colours, nav and footer so the blog looks like the rest of your site, in light or dark mode.

💡 Tips

  • Point a subdomain (blog.yoursite.com) at Reach — it keeps your main site untouched and is the easiest setup.

Frequently asked

Do visitors see "AltrIQ" in the URL?

On your own domain, no — posts live at blog.yoursite.com/your-post. Without a custom domain, they use a reach.altriqdigital.com link.

Can readers comment?

Yes — comments are built in and moderated, so you approve them before they appear.
