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?
- Register your domain with a registrar
- Add a CNAME record in your DNS
- Point it to
cname.vercel-dns.com - 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
