# Add a custom domain

- excerpt: Customize your document sharing links that contain your company name that serves as an identity

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](/docs/what-is-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.
