Add a custom domain

Plox Tip: With Plox’s custom domain feature, you can replace plox.in/share/... links with your own brand URL like docs.yourcompany.com.

This adds a layer of trust, professionalism, and brand continuity to everything you share.

What Is a Custom Domain?#

A custom domain lets you use your own branded URL when sharing files or data rooms from Plox. Instead of sending links that start with plox.in, your viewers will see something like:

docs.yourcompany.com/investor-deck

Where to Set It Up#

1. Go to your dashboard
2. Click on 'Branding' in the left-side panel
3. Scroll down to Custom Domain
4. Enter the domain or subdomain you want to use (e.g. docs.yourdomain.com)
5. Follow the DNS setup instructions (you’ll need to add a CNAME record)
6. Once DNS is configured, click Verify and Activate

Plox will handle the rest, including provisioning an SSL certificate so your link stays secure.

Who Can Use This Feature?#

Technical Requirements#

• A domain or subdomain that you own
• Access to your DNS provider (e.g., GoDaddy, Cloudflare, Namecheap)
• Ability to add a CNAME record as instructed by Plox

Why Use a Custom Domain?#

• Builds trust – viewers instantly recognize your brand
• Looks professional – no more generic link sharing
• Great for sales, HR, and investor relations
• Improves click-through rates on cold outreach and proposals
• Keeps branding consistent from email to viewing interface
