By default, published demos are served from share.layerpath.com. With a custom domain, your demos are served from a URL you own — for example, demos.yourcompany.com. This gives every shared link a fully branded appearance.
Custom domains require a paid plan. If your Workspace is on the free plan, upgrade to enable this feature.

​
How it works

When you add a custom domain in Layerpath, you configure a DNS record at your domain registrar that points your chosen subdomain to Layerpath’s servers. Once verified, all your share links use your domain automatically — no changes needed per demo.

​
Set up a custom domain

1

Open Brandkit settings

In the main app, go to Settings → Brandkit → Domains.
2

Enter your custom domain

Under Custom domain, type the full subdomain you want to use (for example, demos.yourcompany.com) and click Save.
3

Add a CNAME record in your DNS

Log in to your domain registrar or DNS provider and create the following record:
FieldValue
TypeCNAME
Name / Hostdemos (the subdomain you chose, e.g. demos for demos.yourcompany.com)
Value / Points tocname.vercel-dns.com
TTL3600 (or your provider’s default)
4

Verify the domain

Return to Layerpath Brandkit settings. Click Refresh next to your domain to trigger a verification check. When Layerpath detects the CNAME record, the domain status changes to Domain verified.

​
DNS propagation

DNS changes can take anywhere from a few minutes to 48 hours to propagate globally. If the status still shows Domain verification pending after a few minutes, wait and click Refresh again.
You can use a tool like whatsmydns.net to check whether your CNAME record has propagated in different regions.

​
TXT record verification

In some cases, Layerpath may ask you to also add a TXT record to prove domain ownership before the CNAME takes effect. If this is required, the Brandkit settings page shows the exact record values to add:
FieldValue
TypeTXT
Name / Host_vercel
Value(shown in Brandkit settings — copy from there)
Once verification is complete, you can remove the TXT record.

​
Remove a custom domain

To remove a custom domain, go to Settings → Brandkit → Domains and click the delete icon next to your domain. After removal, share links revert to the default share.layerpath.com URL.
Removing a custom domain immediately breaks any existing links that use your branded URL. Update or re-share affected links after making this change.

​
Custom subdomain

In addition to a fully custom domain, Layerpath also lets you set a custom subdomain on the layerpath.com share domain. For example, entering acme gives you acme.layerpath.com as your public URL. This option is available on all plans and does not require DNS configuration on your side. You can configure the custom subdomain under Settings → Brandkit → Domains → Public URL.
