What is a custom domain, and why would I want to use it with Commented?

A custom domain is a personalized web address that replaces the default Commented URL with your own domain name. Instead of accessing your Commented workspace through a generic URL, you can use your own domain, such as "comment.yourcompany.com." Using a custom domain can help reinforce your brand identity and make it easier for your team and clients to access your Commented workspace.

Are there any limitations or restrictions to using a custom domain with Commented?

There are a few limitations to be aware of:

  • Custom domains are typically available only on certain subscription plans.

  • You need to own the domain name you want to use.

  • Proper DNS configuration is required to link your domain to your Commented workspace.
