+= Defining a custom DNS name
+
+As a cluster administrator, you can create a hosted cluster with an external API DNS name that is different from the internal endpoint that is used for node bootstraps and control plane communication. You might want to define a different DNS name for the following reasons:
+
+* To replace the user-facing TLS certificate with one from a public CA without breaking the control plane functions that are bound to the internal root CA
+* To support split-horizon DNS and NAT scenarios
+* To ensure a similar experience to standalone control planes, where you can use functions, such as the "Show Login Command" function, with the correct `kubeconfig` and DNS configuration
+
+You can define a DNS name either during your initial setup or during day-2 operations, by entering a domain name in the `kubeAPIServerDNSName` field of a `HostedCluster` object.
+
+.Prerequisites
+
+* You have a valid TLS certificate that covers the DNS name that you will set in the `kubeAPIServerDNSName` field.
+* Your DNS name is a resolvable URI that is reachable and pointing to the right address.
+
+.Procedure
+
+* In the specification for the `HostedCluster` object, add the `kubeAPIServerDNSName` field and the address for the domain and specify which certificate to use, as shown in the following example:
++
+[source,yaml]
+----
+#...
+spec:
+  configuration:
+    apiServer:
+      servingCerts:
+        namedCertificates:
+        - names:
+          - xxx.example.com
+          - yyy.example.com
+          servingCertificate:
+            name: <my_serving_certificate>
+  kubeAPIServerDNSName: <your_custom_address> # <1>
+----
++
+<1> The value for the `kubeAPIServerDNSName` field must be a valid, addressable domain.
+
+After you define the `kubeAPIServerDNSName` field and specify the certificate, the Control Plane Operator controllers create a `kubeconfig` file named `custom-admin-kubeconfig`, which is stored in the `HostedControlPlane` namespace. The certificates are generated from the root CA, and the `HostedControlPlane` namespace manages their expiration and renewal.
+
+The Control Plane Operator reports a new `kubeconfig` file named `CustomKubeconfig` in the `HostedControlPlane` namespace. That file uses the new server that is defined in the `kubeAPIServerDNSName` field.
+
+The custom `kubeconfig` file is referenced in the `HostedCluster` object in the `status` field as `CustomKubeconfig`. The `CustomKubeConfig` field is optional, and can be added only if the `kubeAPIServerDNSName` field is not empty. When the `CustomKubeConfig` field is set, it triggers the generation of a secret named `<hosted_cluster_name>-custom-admin-kubeconfig` in the `HostedCluster` namespace. You can use the secret to access the `HostedCluster` API server. If you remove the `CustomKubeConfig` field during day-2 operations, all related secrets and status references are deleted.
+
+[NOTE]
+====
+This process does not directly affect the data plane, so no rollouts are expected to occur. The `HostedControlPlane` namespace receives the changes from the HyperShift Operator and deletes the corresponding fields.
+====
+
+If you remove the `kubeAPIServerDNSName` field from the specification, all newly generated secrets and the `CustomKubeconfig` reference are removed from the cluster and from the `status` field.
