# Testing your own domain on a subdomain

Yes, you can test your own-domain setup on a subdomain before you switch your live domain.

The domain step in the HomeRunner dashboard accepts a subdomain. You can point the worker at something like new.yourdomain.com with noindex enabled, verify that everything looks correct, and then move it to your live domain when you are ready.

Still stuck? [Contact the HomeRunner team](https://homerunner.io/contact/) with your site address and what you tried, and we take it from there.
