What is a Brand Domain?

A brand domain is a unique web address or URL associated with a specific brand or company. It is the online address that users type into their web browsers to access a brand's website. For example: www.hubdew.com

Brand domain serves as a distinct identifier on the internet. It helps users to locate and engage with a particular brand's online presence.

A brand domain reflects the brand name, making it easier for customers to remember and associate with the company. It plays a crucial role in establishing and maintaining a brand's identity in the digital space.

Subscription for Brand Domains in HubSpot

Before diving into the subscription limits for brand domains, let's understand the URL structure. The domain consists of a protocol (https), subdomain (www), brand domain (website name) and a top-level domain (TLD). 

HubSpot is a hosted platform which allows you to connect your domain but you need to buy it from a third-party domain registrar company like GoDaddy.  

An expected average cost for domain registration can range from 10$ to 20$ (annually). But it may vary depending on the choice and availability of your domain name. Additionally, the top-level domain can also impact the cost. For example: .com and .co will be costlier than .net or .org.

HubSpot paid subscription users can connect their domain and gain access to set it as a primary domain for webpages and landing pages. You can connect on a custom subdomain (e.g.. blog.example.com) or root domain.

Take a look at subscription plans and associated domain limits:
