Overview

What are Custom Domains?

Custom Domains allow you to use your own domain name for Onetime Secret links, instead of the default onetimesecret.com domain. This feature incorporates your brand identity into the secret sharing experience, enhancing trust and professionalism.

Key Benefits

1. Brand Identity: Share secrets using your own domain name, reinforcing security and professionalism.
2. Increased Trust: Recipients see a familiar domain, boosting their confidence in the shared information.
3. Professional Appearance: Demonstrate a higher level of sophistication and commitment to security.
4. Brand Customization: Upload custom logos and set brand colors to match your visual identity.
5. Seamless Integration: Create a cohesive experience that aligns with your existing digital presence.
6. Regional Flexibility: Choose between EU and US data center regions to meet your data locality needs.
