Understanding Custom Domains

A custom domain allows you to personalize the URL of your chatbot, aligning it with your brand and providing a seamless user experience. Instead of using a generic ChatNode URL, you can have your chatbot accessible through a domain like chat.yourcompany.com. ChatNode offers the custom domain feature as part of its Scale plan, priced at $377 per month. This plan includes the ability to use your own custom domain, among other advanced features. If you’re on a different plan and still want a custom domain, you can purchase it as an add-on for $53/month. By utilizing a custom domain, you enhance your brand’s professionalism and ensure a consistent experience for your users.
