Custom domain

With our Recruiter plan, you can create a white-labeled version of Dropboard for your clients. Set a DNS record on your website and you can host Dropboard on your own domain.

How to create your custom domain

  1. Log into the website where you manage your website's domain (GoDaddy, Namecheap, etc.)
  2. Find your DNS settings
  3. Create a new "CNAME" record
  4. Choose your subdomain (ergo: "recruiting" for recruiting.acme.com) and enter it for the host name.
  5. Set the value to host.dropboardhq.com
  6. Save the record
  7. In Dropboard, under Clients > Your Portal, submit your full domain in the setting for your custom domain: "recruiting.acme.com"

Step 4 help

These steps may appear differently depending on your host. Most DNS providers want you to just enter the subdomain ("recruiting") in step 4. Some, however, may want you to enter the entire domain like so: "recruiting.acme.com"


Steps in Dropboard

Click "Set up a custom domain"

Type your whole domain and hit "Save"

Click "Check Again" periodically until your DNS record propagates the internet


Using a root domain

If you want your white-labeled portal to not have a subdomain, ergo you would like to use something like "acmerecruiters.com," follow these steps:

  1. Log into the website where you manage your website's domain (GoDaddy, Namecheap, etc.)
  2. Find your DNS settings
  3. Create a new "A" record
  4. Set the value to 75.2.96.173
  5. Save the record
  6. Create a second "A" record
  7. Set the value to 99.83.186.151
  8. Save the record
  9. In Dropboard, under "Clients" and "Self-service portal," submit your full domain in the setting for your custom domain: "recruiting.acme.com"
