Boxes

Box URLs and domains

Every Box has a hosted URL. The available URL form depends on the Box mode and active entitlement.

Free-path URLs

Community and Free Boxes use a hosted path URL in the form https://htmbox.app/your-box-slug/. Free slugs are generated by HTMBox and are not author-selected.

The stable URL follows the Box current content. A Release preview URL is separate and identifies a specific immutable Release.

Dedicated URLs

A Dedicated Box with active account Premium capability can use a selected subdomain in the form https://your-box-slug.htmbox.app/. Selecting Dedicated in the Box editor opens Account Plans; it does not grant the mode until Premium is active.

The Dashboard can collect custom-domain entries for eligible Boxes, but domain verification, activation, and routing are not a completed public workflow to depend on yet.

Tips and limits

  • Do not publish DNS instructions for a custom domain until the Dashboard reports that it is verified and active.
  • Keep links to the stable URL for your current site and use a release-scoped URL only when you need to inspect a particular Release.

Domain tab checklist

  1. Open the Box editor and select Domain.
  2. Review the current slug and URL form.
  3. Activate account Premium before expecting a custom Dedicated slug.
  4. Treat any custom-domain entry as pending until the platform confirms activation.
