At the moment, we cannot provide support for this, because we're very focused on shipping the next version of Leanpub, and we just have a lot of other things to do.

However, we would like to help! Here are two ways forward:

1. Set up a personal website, which contains prominent links to your Leanpub books.

2. Try to figure out the redirect stuff yourself, using the information below as a possible guide.

Below is some AI-provided guidance which might be helpful.

None of this has been tested by us, and we have no idea if any of these approaches will work for you. So, use any of it at your own risk!

Here's the AI support answer, between the dividers:
​

The short version is that Leanpub can’t issue an SSL certificate for your website because we don’t control that domain. However, you *can* get an https-to-https redirect working by moving the redirect to a service that provides free SSL.
​
Option 1: Cloudflare (recommended if you're comfortable changing nameservers)
---------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Create a free Cloudflare account.
2. In Namecheap (or whichever service you're using), change the domain’s nameservers to the two Cloudflare nameservers they give you.
3. Once DNS is active in Cloudflare, create a Redirect Rule (or Page Rule) to forward:
​ https://YOUR_WEBISTE_SLUG.com/* → https://leanpub.com/u/YOUR_PROFILE
with a 301 status code.
​
Cloudflare will issue a free SSL certificate for your domain and do the redirect at the edge, so everything works seamlessly over https.
​
Option 2: GitHub Pages
-----------------------
1. Create a GitHub repo named `YOUR_WEBSITE.github.io`.
2. Add an `index.html` with a meta refresh or JavaScript 301 redirect to your Leanpub URL.
3. Enable GitHub Pages for the repo and set the Custom Domain to `YOUR_WEBSITE_SLUG.com`.
4. In Namecheap (or whichever service you're using), point your domain to GitHub’s Pages IPs (A/AAAA records or CNAME).
​
GitHub Pages will handle https for you and serve the redirect cleanly.
​
Option 3: Netlify
------------------
1. Sign up for a free Netlify account and create a minimal site.
2. Add a `_redirects` file with one line:
/* https://leanpub.com/u/YOUR_PROFILE 301!
3. Add `YOUR_WEBSITE_SLUG.com` as a custom domain in Netlify.
4. Point your domain’s A or CNAME records to Netlify.
​
Netlify automatically issues an SSL certificate and handles the https redirect.
