When publishing a website using HubSpot Content Hub, your pages need to be connected to a domain so visitors can access them. HubSpot allows you to connect both domains and subdomains, to host different parts of your website.
This setup allows businesses to organize their website structure while keeping all content managed inside HubSpot.
Understanding how HubSpot Content Hub domains and subdomains work helps ensure your website is configured correctly and accessible to visitors.
A domain is the main address of your website.
For example:
yourcompany.com
This is the primary domain visitors use to access your website.
Domains are typically purchased through domain registrars such as GoDaddy, Namecheap, or Google Domains.
A subdomain is an extension of the main domain used to organize different sections of a website.
Examples include:
Many businesses use subdomains to separate different types of content.
For example, a blog may run on a subdomain while the main website remains on the primary domain.
Before publishing pages, you must connect your domain to HubSpot Content Hub.
To do this:
Once the DNS changes are complete, HubSpot can host your website content on that domain.
HubSpot allows you to connect different domain types depending on how you want to organize your website.
Common domain types include:
This flexibility allows businesses to manage multiple domains if needed.
Once a domain is connected, it can be assigned to different types of content inside HubSpot Content Hub.
For example:
This allows teams to organize content strategically.

Secure websites are important for both user trust and search engine rankings.
Some businesses operate multiple websites or brands.
HubSpot allows you to manage multiple connected domains and assign them to different types of content.

HubSpot Content Hub allows businesses to connect domains and subdomains so website content can be published and accessed online. By properly configuring domains and DNS settings, teams can ensure their website is securely hosted and organized for visitors.
