# Custom Domains (Hosted Interview Links)

> Use your own domain (for example, `interviews.yourcompany.com`) for candidate-facing pages and interview links to fully brand the experience.

## What this enables

* White-labeled interview links and status pages on your domain
* Consistent, on-brand candidate experience

## Where to set this up

## Setup steps

{% stepper %}
{% step %} <mark style="color:blue;">**Step 1**</mark> Add your custom domain

* We recommend a subdomain like `interviews.yourcompany.com`.

* If no domain exists yet, you’ll see “No Custom Domain Configured” with an option to Add Custom Domain.

{% endstep %}

{% step %} <mark style="color:blue;">**Step 2**</mark> Create a CNAME at your DNS provider

* Point your chosen subdomain to the CNAME target shown in the app (for example, `ingress.heymilo.ai`)
  {% endstep %}

{% step %} <mark style="color:blue;">**Step 3**</mark> Verify the domain

* Click Verify in the app after updating DNS.
* DNS can take \~30 minutes and up to 6 hours (or longer in some cases) to propagate. Verification may show `Pending` until propagation completes.
  {% endstep %}

{% step %} <mark style="color:blue;">**Step 4**</mark> Use your branded links

* When verification succeeds, your custom domain becomes active and candidates will see your domain on interview links and candidate status pages.

Once a domain is added, you can:

* Copy the CNAME

* Delete the custom domain if it’s no longer needed

{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

## Timing

* DNS propagation often completes within \~30 minutes, but allow up to 6 hours depending on your DNS provider.

## Under the hood

* HeyMilo validates that your CNAME points to our ingress and then attaches the domain in our hosting environment.

## Best practices

* Prefer a dedicated subdomain (for example, `interviews.yourcompany.com`).
* Use a reasonable TTL (the UI suggests `5 minutes`) for faster DNS updates.
* You can copy the active interview link directly from the Share button on the interview experience once the domain is verified.
