# Site addresses

> Reference for the yourname.skarmy.ai address every published workspace gets: naming rules, reserved names, and what cannot be changed.

Every published workspace serves at `<name>.skarmy.ai`. You claim the name once, on your first publish.

## Naming rules

| Rule                          | Detail                                             |
| ----------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------- |
| Length                        | 3 to 63 characters                                 |
| Allowed characters            | Lowercase letters `a–z`, digits `0–9`, and hyphens |
| First and last character      | Must be a letter or a digit, never a hyphen        |
| Capitals and spaces           | Not allowed                                        |
| Accents and non-Latin scripts | Not allowed                                        |
| Uniqueness                    | Global — one workspace per name                    |

The UI states this as **Use 3–63 lowercase letters, numbers, or hyphens**.

### Examples

| Name              | Result                          |
| ----------------- | ------------------------------- |
| `kilnwork`        | Valid                           |
| `kilnwork-studio` | Valid                           |
| `kilnwork2`       | Valid                           |
| `ab`              | Too short                       |
| `-kilnwork`       | Starts with a hyphen            |
| `kilnwork-`       | Ends with a hyphen              |
| `Kilnwork`        | Capitals not allowed            |
| `kiln work`       | Spaces not allowed              |
| `kilnwörk`        | Accented characters not allowed |

<Note>
  Names beginning `xn--`, and names with two hyphens in the third and fourth position, are rejected. These encode non-Latin characters that can be made to look like a trusted name.
</Note>

## Reserved names

These are never available. Most protect Skarmy's own surfaces, mail routing, or names that could be used to impersonate a trusted service.

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Infrastructure and product surfaces" icon="server">
    `app`, `www`, `api`, `admin`, `dashboard`, `ns1`, `ns2`, `dns`, `cdn`, `assets`, `static`, `img`, `images`, `dev`, `staging`, `test`, `preview`, `internal`, `root`, `status`, `docs`, `blog`, `help`, `support`, `billing`, `account`, `accounts`, `auth`, `login`, `signup`, `hub`, `skarmy`, `vercel`, `official`, `security`, `abuse`, `console`, `portal`
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Mail and mail autodiscovery" icon="envelope">
    `mail`, `email`, `smtp`, `imap`, `ftp`, `mx`, `mx1`, `mx2`, `autodiscover`, `autoconfig`, `webmail`, `pop`, `pop3`, `smtps`, `imaps`, `spf`, `dkim`, `dmarc`, `_domainkey`
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Trust and payment surfaces" icon="shield">
    `verify`, `verified`, `payments`, `pay`, `checkout`, `team`, `teams`, `enterprise`, `partner`, `partners`
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

Trying one of these gives **That name is reserved. Try another**.

<Note>
  Reserved names shorter than three characters are rejected as invalid rather than reserved, because they fail the length rule first.
</Note>

## What you cannot change

|                                       | Status                    |
| ------------------------------------- | ------------------------- |
| Change your address after claiming it | Not currently possible    |
| Use your own domain name              | Not currently available   |
| Publish to more than one address      | One address per workspace |

Your site address is independent of your company name. Renaming your company does not change a published address.

<Warning>
  Deleting a workspace retires its address permanently — the name cannot be claimed again, by you or anyone else.
</Warning>

## One address per workspace

Each workspace claims its own name. A company with three workspaces can have three published sites at three addresses.

## Verify

* Your address resolves in a private or incognito window.
* The **Live at …** link in the workspace matches the address you claimed.

## Troubleshooting

| Problem                                   | Fix                                                                          |
| ----------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `That name is reserved. Try another`      | Pick a name outside the lists above.                                         |
| `That name is already taken. Try another` | Someone claimed it. Try a variation.                                         |
| You claimed the wrong name                | The name cannot be changed. Create a new workspace and publish that instead. |
| The address does not resolve yet          | Give it a few minutes. Use the link shown in the workspace meanwhile.        |
