Focus: The focus of this Self Help article is to provide you information and steps in order setup a custom domain for your Quote Roller Account.

Please note:  Custom Domain branding is only available for the “Teams” and “Enterprise” Quote Roller Subscriptions.

What does this option do?  Want to keep your brand in front of your customers. This can be done by having a custom domain such as “proposals.yourcompany.com” rather than “yourcompany.quoteroller.com”. This will also update the URL link for the web versions of the proposals. Please note, this will not affect existing proposals and those links will still work. This change will only affect new proposals that you have created.

Step 1: Create a DNS Entry for your domain. This can be done by anyone who can access your account with the domain name hosting registrar. A CNAME entry is a mapping of a host name on a domain you own, to another host name of your preference (Example: Quote Roller).

Example: proposals.yourcompany.com  yourcompany.quoteroller.com
