Custom Domains and Subdomains in Layerpath

What is a subdomain?

A subdomain customizes the first part of the default Layerpath URL. It is quick to set and adds your company name to the link.

What is a custom domain?

A custom domain replaces the default URL with your own domain, like demo.example.com. It offers the most branded experience.

How do I set up a custom domain?

  1. Register your domain with a registrar
  2. Add a CNAME record in your DNS
  3. Point it to cname.vercel-dns.com
  4. Add the domain in Layerpath Settings and verify

Which should I choose?

  • Pick a subdomain for fast setup with minimal DNS work
  • Pick a custom domain for full branding and deeper integration

Anything to consider?

Custom domains require DNS access and may have extra costs from your registrar
