# Set up a custom domain

In this help article, we'll show you how to replace [**ACCOUNT-URL.memberful.com**](http://ACCOUNT-URL.memberful.com) with your own custom domain, giving members a branded experience like [**YOURSITE.ACCOUNT-URL.com**](http://YOURSITE.ACCOUNT-URL.com) when they shop, log in, or browse your [Memberful-hosted website](/overview/setup-guides/hosted-member-site/).

<Callout icon="info" color="#22E273">
  This only applies to Memberful-hosted pages. Your website will always use your own domain, even if it's been connected to Memberful.

In almost every case, your custom domain will be a subdomain of your main domain name (this is sometimes called a CNAME). So it would be something like `members.ACCOUNT-URL.com`, not just `somenewdomain.com`. If you'd like to use a top-level domain like that instead of a subdomain, let us know so we can discuss your options.

If you pair custom domains with our existing features like [custom branding](/configuration/branding/branding/) and [customizable email templates](/configuration/emails/email-templates/), a member of your site would have almost no way of knowing that you're using Memberful—allowing you to build trust through a consistent brand experience.
