# Change my handle

If you want to switch between handle options on the Blacksky server (blacksky.app, myatproto.social, cryptoanarchy.network, latinsky.app or afrolatinsky.app):

1. Visit[ blacksky.community](https://blacksky.community/)
2. Log in to your account
3. Navigate to Settings
4. Select Account
5. Click on Handle
6. Change your handle to any of the available options

#### Which handle should I select?

**blacksky.app - For Blacksky Community Members Only**

blacksky.app is exclusively for members of the Blacksky community. This PDS has specific membership requirements and is reserved for Black folks building communal infrastructure.

⚠️ Warning: Anyone else using a blacksky.app handle will receive a warning at first and then a suspension.

**Alternative domains for Everyone**

Blacksky Algorithms also operates two other PDSs that are open to anyone:

* myatproto.social - Open to all
* cryptoanarchy.network - Open to all

These servers run on the same infrastructure as blacksky.app and are maintained by the same team, but are available for anyone to use regardless of background.

💡 Note: whether your handle is username.myatproto.social or username.cryptoanarchy.network you must still enter "<https://blacksky.app>" as your hosting provider when logging into apps that request a "Hosting Provider" such as the Bluesky mobile apps.

#### Changing to a domain that you own&#x20;

If you’d like to switch handles to a domain that you own, you can:&#x20;

1. Follow steps 1-4 above&#x20;
2. Click “I have my own domain” and follow the instructions on that screen.&#x20;
3. This may require that you coordinate with your domain provider host (e.g. Squarespace, GoDaddy, etc) to link your account using the DNS (Domain Name System) information provided.&#x20;
