You can change the displayed domain of your Box at any time in two simple steps.



Step 1: Change the displayed domain

In order to change your Box's displayed domain click on the pencil icon next to the section heading Displayed domain in the Box overview. This will open more input fields.

Enter the new displayed domain or select one from the list. Then confirm your entry.

Change the displayed domain

Important: Make sure you only enter domain names and not URLs.

For example: If you want to add example.com as a redirect, enter example.com and not https://example.com. The same applies to subdomains where you should enter sub.example.com and not https://sub.domain.com.

This process will not only change your displayed domain but also add the variant with or without www. as a redirect. This way, both standard variants of your domain are always covered.

Step 2: Update DNS records

If your domain is hosted at Raidboxes, please follow the instructions in: Connect a Raidboxes domain to your Box.

If your domain is hosted externally, the steps in External domain: Update DNS records apply to you.
