Do you have multiple brands or domains but want to share the same helpful content across them all?

Well, you're in luckβ€”with HelpDocs you can host all your custom domains in one neat little bundle πŸ™Œ

There's an extra fee for additional custom domains

Why Host Multiple Custom Domains?

Why would you want to have more than one domain on your account? Well, maybe you've got different brands or products that need their own unique look and feel, but you still want to serve the same content across all of them.

Or perhaps you want to optimise your SEO by having domain-specific keywords in each URL. Whatever the reason, hosting multiple custom domains can be a total game-changer for your online presence πŸ’ͺ

How to Add Additional Domain(s)

The best part is you don't have to be a tech wizard to make this happen. All you've gotta do is reach out to our awesome support team and they'll be happy to help you get everything set up.

Here's what the process looks like:

  1. Grab the additional domain(s) you want to use. You can usually do this through your domain registrar or hosting provider
  2. Let our support team know you want to add the new domain(s) to your account (or shoot us an email with this pre-filled for you)
  3. We'll walk you through the process of adding the new custom domain(s) to your existing account
  4. Once everything's configured, your new domain(s) will display the same articles and categories as your primary domain. Easy peasy! 😎
Keep in mind that the content will be the same across all your domains and can't be altered in one domain but not the other.
