At HeyBoss, we offer two domain options to help you choose the one that best suits your project. Below is a detailed explanation of the default and custom domain options to help you make an informed decision.

1. Default Domain

When you create a project on HeyBoss, the system will automatically assign you a default domain. This default domain is typically a subdomain provided by us (e.g., projectnumber.heyboss.tech), which is simple to use and requires no additional configuration.

Features of the Default Domain:

  • Free: No additional cost; you can start using it right away.

  • Quick Setup: No need to purchase or configure a domain—just start showcasing your project.

  • Ideal for: Personal or trial use, allowing you to quickly go live with your project.

However, the default domain might appear less professional, especially if you want your brand to look more credible and professional. In that case, you may want to consider using a custom domain.

2. Custom Domain

If you want your project to appear more professional, we offer a free service to link a custom domain for our subscribed users. This service allows you to link your personal domain (e.g., yourbrand.com) to your project, making your website look more credible and professional.

Features of a Custom Domain:

  • Enhances Brand Image: Using your own domain makes your website appear more legitimate and trustworthy.

  • Increases User Trust: A custom domain helps boost visitors' confidence in your website.

  • Easier to Remember: A simple and brand-specific domain is easier for visitors to remember.

For subscribed users, HeyBoss provides free help with linking a custom domain. All you need to do is purchase and provide the domain, and we'll assist with the configuration.

  • HeyBoss provides your website with a default domain.

  • To make your website look more professional, you can link a custom domain. This feature is available exclusively for users subscribed to our plan.

3. Purchasing a Domain

Generally, you will need to purchase a domain to configure a custom one. You can buy a domain through domain registrars (such as GoDaddy, Namecheap, etc.). Once purchased, you can link the domain to your HeyBoss project.

Steps to Purchase a Domain:

  1. Choose a domain registrar and purchase your desired domain.

  2. Obtain the DNS settings or records of your domain.

  3. Link the domain to your HeyBoss project—detailed instructions can be found in our help documentation.

How to Choose?

  • If you're just starting or in the trial phase, the default domain is a good choice. It's simple and fast, ideal for initial use.

  • If you're looking for a more professional setup or long-term use, we recommend purchasing a custom domain and linking it through HeyBoss. This will enhance your brand image and build trust with users.

With these options, you can easily set up your domain on HeyBoss and present yourself in the most professional way.
