How to Pick Your Own Domain

Learn how to choose, register, and prepare a domain name to use with your AI platform.

✅ Why use a custom domain?

Adding a custom domain makes your platform:

  • Fully white-label — no mention of Hyperfy in the URL
  • More professional and trustworthy
  • Easier for your clients to remember and access (e.g., ai.yourbrand.com)
  • Aligned with your brand — especially important if you sell your platform

🧠 Tips for choosing your domain name

  • Keep it short and easy to spell
  • Avoid special characters, numbers, or long names
  • Prefer endings like .com, .ai, or .io (but .xyz, .tech, and .co are also valid)
  • Consider using a subdomain if you already have a website (e.g., platform.yourcompany.com)
  • Make sure the name doesn’t infringe on trademarks
