The Brand Domain
If you’ve ever worked with (or tried to sell to) a large company on HubSpot, you’ve likely run into a problem that looks something like this:
The client is big. Or they soon will be. They have two brands, or regional offices, or business units, or two separate companies... the list goes on. They want to run marketing, sales
Until now, we haven’t had a great solution for them. They would have had to combine everything into one portal but that can get pretty messy, or they could buy two separate portals, but that’s expensive. That all changes with the Brand Domain Add-on.
With the Brand Domain Add-on, you can:
The Brand Domain Add-on costs $700 USD/month.
Note: We’re talking about brand domains (think hubspot.com and inbound.com). If you want to host multiple subdomains, subdirectories, or country code top-level domains (e.g. .de or .fr) those are all included in the single domain limit.
You may be asking, what about existing Marketing Hub Enterprise portals with multiple domains? They will all get full brand domain functionality for domains connected (via DNS) if they purchased by November 1, 2018.
This feature is especially interesting for large, multi-brand companies with Marketing Hub Enterprise (which is a requirement). They need separation on their CRM objects, as well as separate branding and analytics on their marketing activities. They also have a need to market, sell or service multiple brands, divisions, product lines or businesses.
Marketing Hub Enterprise customers get one Hosting Domain (that includes associated country Top Level Domains and subdomains). If a customer wishes to publish content to another domain, they will need to purchase the Brand Domains add-on for each additional domain. Here are some examples to help you see when and how many Brand Domains are needed:
Example | Hosting Domains | Number of Brand Domains Needed |
A | www.biglytics.net blog.biglytics.net info.biglytics.net www.biglytics.fr blog.biglytics.fr info.biglytics.fr |
All hosting domains are under the biglytics.net TLD and included in the Marketing Hub Enterprise subscription. No additional Brand Domains required. |
B | www.hubspot.com www.hubspot.de blog.hubspot.com blog.hubspot.de info.hubspot.com info.hubspot.de www.inbound.com blog.inbound.com info.inbound.com |
All hubspot.com hosting domains would be included in the Marketing Hub Enterprise subscription. However, the inbound.com subdomains require the purchase of One Brand Domains add-on. |
C | www.dogs.com www.cats.com www.birds.com www.fish.com |
One hosting domain is included in the Marketing Hub Enterprise subscription. Three Brand Domains add-ons are required to publish content to all 4 domains. |
