Release notes on your own domain
Customers see a familiar host instead of a random third-party URL.
Custom domain changelog
Publish release notes on a URL customers already trust.
Host your changelog on a branded domain so product updates look native to your company, support links feel trustworthy, and search authority stays close to your product.
Custom domains are part of the core ChangeCrab workflow. Premium adds advanced publishing and team controls.

Branded release notes
A changelog that feels like part of the product
Link fixes with confidence
Support can send customers directly to the update that explains what changed.
A public archive with continuity
The URL can be linked from docs, footer navigation, onboarding, and product menus.
Why this matters
A changelog should not look like it belongs to someone else.
The domain is part of the trust signal, especially when prospects and customers are checking whether your product is active.
Brand continuity matters
A branded changelog makes product updates feel official and easier to share.
Links become reusable assets
Sales, support, docs, and onboarding can all point to stable entries on your own URL.
Search signals stay close to the product
A custom-domain archive gives crawlers and buyers a cleaner picture of your shipping history.

Buyer questions
Questions that come up before teams choose this workflow.
Is a custom domain better than a hosted changelog URL?
For long-term customer communication, yes. A hosted URL is fine to start, but a branded URL is easier to trust, share, and connect to your product experience.
What subdomain should we use?
Use a simple name such as updates, changelog, releases, or product-updates. Pick something you can keep for years.
Does a custom domain replace the widget or subscribers?
No. The custom domain is the public home. Widgets, emails, RSS, and integrations can all point back to it.
