White Labeling (Private Branding) in AdPeeps

What Is White Labeling in AdPeeps?

White labeling (also called Private Branding) allows you to hide the AdPeeps hosted URL from visitors and advertisers.

With DNS private branding enabled:

• The control panel
• Ad delivery URLs
• Advertiser login pages

all appear to originate from a subdomain on your own website, even though ads are still securely served, tracked, and maintained by AdPeeps on adpeepshosted.com.

This gives you full branding control without sacrificing reliability or performance.

Why Use DNS Private Branding?

DNS forwarding provides several important benefits:

• AdPeeps continues to handle hosting, monitoring, and system stability
• All ad calls and URLs appear to come from your own domain
• Your site maintains a consistent, professional look
• A CNAME record ensures you always point to the correct AdPeeps server, even if IP addresses change

This setup is commonly used by publishers, agencies, and developers offering ad services to clients.

What You’ll Need Before You Start

To use private branding, you must:

• Have access to your domain’s DNS settings
• Be able to create a CNAME record

A CNAME record (also called an alias record) points a subdomain to an existing host record so traffic resolves correctly without hard-coding an IP address.

Step 1: Create a CNAME Record

At your DNS provider or web host:

1. Create a CNAME record
2. Choose the subdomain you want to use
   Example: ads.yourdomain.com
3. Point the CNAME to the AdPeeps hosted domain as instructed

Many users choose ads, but any subdomain will work.

Step 2: Configure Your Alias in AdPeeps

1. Log in to your AdPeeps Hosted account
2. Go to Other Features / Settings
3. Select Settings Configuration
4. Locate the Domain Alias field
5. Replace the default AdPeeps domain with your full alias URL
   Example: ads.yourdomain.com
6. Save your changes

Once saved, AdPeeps will generate ad HTML using your branded URL.

Step 3: Access Your White-Labeled Control Panel

After setup is complete:

• Visit your branded subdomain
  Example: ads.yourdomain.com
• AdPeeps automatically identifies your account based on the domain alias
• No account number is required in the URL

Your advertisers and users will now interact entirely through your branded domain.

Best Practices

• Allow time for DNS changes to propagate (up to 24 hours in some cases)
• Use a clear, ad-related subdomain like ads or media
• Test ad delivery after setup to confirm URLs are branded correctly
• Keep DNS aliasing enabled even if you change hosting providers
