Connecting a custom domain
The custom domain feature allows you to connect your own domain, so that when entered in the address bar, it redirects to your SlashPage. Instead of slashpage.com/mybrand, you can imprint your brand or name in people's minds by purchasing a domain and connecting it, like www.mybrand.com
