Custom domains

This article covers adding visual branding to your panelists’ experience. For information on using a custom domain for emails, see Custom domain for emails.

You can also have a custom domain for your surveys that panelists visit, such as surveys.yourcompany.com or panel.yourcompany.com. If you’ve added Private Panels to your Dscout plan, custom survey domains are included. They are not included if you have a standalone Private Panels account without a Dscout subscription (though you can purchase them as an add-on).
