Want to make your Papermark links even more professional? Adding a custom domain to your links for sharing documents or data rooms boosts your branding and makes your shared documents stand out. Papermark

Step 1: Choose your custom domain

First off, you'll need a custom domain. This could be something like "docs.yourcompany.com." If you don't already own a domain, you can purchase one from domain registrars like GoDaddy, Namecheap, or others.

If you have a website on your own domain, for sharing documents or data room you can use subdomain like:
