I think this is a feature that should be available for the paid users. I was very disappointed to learn that it does not yet exist.

Hi all!
We have an exciting update to Cloakist's service for moving your Spark page to your custom domain.
We now have a dashboard to configure the domain you want to show your Spark page at, change the page's branding, and add your own JS/CSS.
Go here to see some examples and try it out:
Use the live chat on our site to ask us any questions!

Responding to the comment below:
Cloakist is a UK registered company (Cloakist Ltd, no. 12772481). If you're not happy with our service, you can hold us directly responsible. We will never steal anyone's IP or take over anyone's domain because it's illegal to do so under UK law, not to mention unethical.
Quite simply, we do a great job of allowing people to move their Spark site to their own domain, taking out the hassle of e.g. hosting it yourself or having to write code, as in MR. FIX I.T.'s solution.
I agree that it's worth considering doing this for free instead of paying Cloakist. Here is my assessment of the options:
1. Redirect, using your domain manager (e.g. GoDaddy, Namecheap).
Cost: $free.
Downside: doesn't stay at yoursite.com, redirects to spark.adobe.com - UNLESS you use GoDaddy masked redirect, in which case there can be issues with your site appearing secure.
2. Use an iFrame
Cost: $free
Downside: can mess up the formatting of your site, especially on mobile.
3. Use Cloakist (https://cloak.ist/adobe-spark)
Cost: $10/m for basic plan.
Downside: apart from cost, none.
Extra features: you can remove Adobe branding, change favicon, social sharing previews, and add custom code (CSS/JS)
Disclaimer: I'm the founder of Cloakist. We now have 15+ customers using us for Adobe Spark. Here are some examples of our customers:
https://reportages.sortiraparis.com/page/h1vAMHNOZ6EPB/ (multiple Spark pages at one domain, and fully rebranded)

Cloak.ist is a private domain and if you do business with them and something goes wrong (like IP Theft, or domain takeover), you have no entity to hold responsible. Instead of Lous Barclay's sugestion to get another company involved, try this free work-around.
I found an iframe code that you can put into your index.html file and I freely share it here as it costed me 1 hour of my time to find this and create my own SOP around it.
Imbed mirror website link using iframe.
Create a new .html file using notepad++ (So that you can easily spot code errors and missing command arguments)
Paste the following code into the html doc (Feel free to add tracking, SEO, etc. code to the document)
<head>
</head>
<body>
<iframe src="PasteAdobeSparkLinkHere" width=100% height=100%></iframe>
</body>
Save the doc
Upload the doc onto your custom domain -

Hi everyone! I've written an article about putting your Adobe Spark page at your own custom domain:
https://cloak.ist/blog/how-to-put-your-adobe-spark-page-at-your-own-domain
Hope it helps you out! We now have 10+ customers using Cloakist to move their Adobe Spark page to a custom domain. Here's an example:

Hey everyone, I built Cloakist to let you put your Adobe Spark at a custom domain. For example, you could put your Spark at myportfolio.com instead of spark.adobe.com/***.
Here's a live example (a Spark page at a custom domain): https://spark.cloak.ist/
Without Cloakist, that Spark page would be stuck at https://spark.adobe.com/post/Fql4IOsPc2wfS/.
You can get started at https://cloak.ist/. Happy to answer any questions!

Hello, for spark to be perfect, it would have to accept its own domains. Is this expected for the next updates?
-
Good point! For the time being, Spark doesn't support custom domains. My best suggestion would be to look into domain masking for the link (e.g., many 3rd parties exist like bit.ly)

To make Adobe Spark even better, it would be great if you could personalise your published link rather than a random AS url when using say the website page.
It would be much better to see a personalised url, like "Your photoshoot guide", rather than an Adobe Spark link.

Hi Liz! Spark doesn't support custom domains or vanity URLs. My best suggestion would be to look into domain masking for the link.

Hi I made a webpage in SPARK and when you search my domain freakout36up.nl you come to the page. Problem only is that in the browser my domain is replaced for https://spark.adobe.com/page/giCzuCJBymGW2/. Anything I can do about this? I.e SPARK.adobe.com/freakout36up
