## Considerations
20+
Before you configure a primay domain consider the following:
21+
* WordPress Multisites should not use this configuration as it will conflict with subsite routing
22+
* Sites already managing redirects for secondary domains via PHP should not use this configuration
23+
* For example, if you are redirecting `one-example.com` to `example.com/one` via [PHP redirects](/guides/redirect/advanced)

By default, the buttons described above will open links that are served via their respective [platform domains](/guides/domains/platform-domains) (e.g., `test-example.pantheonsite.io`). If you want these buttons to open your site using your own custom domain instead (e.g., `test.example.com`) you can connect a [custom domain](/guides/domains/custom-domains) then configure it as the [primary domain](/guides/domains/primary-domain) for the target environment. This is typically only done for the Live environment as part of launch however you can do this anytime for any environment based on your preferences and requirements.
