*1.* Domains
----------------------------------------------------------------
Misskey requires two domains called the primary domain and the secondary domain.

* The primary domain is used to provide main service of Misskey.
* The secondary domain is used to avoid vulnerabilities such as XSS.

**Ensure that the secondary domain is not a subdomain of the primary domain.**

### Subdomains

* **api**.*{primary domain}*
* **auth**.*{primary domain}*
* **about**.*{primary domain}*
* **ch**.*{primary domain}*
* **stats**.*{primary domain}*
* **status**.*{primary domain}*
* **dev**.*{primary domain}*
* **file**.*{secondary domain}*
