Share Notion Pages on Your Own Domain (3 Methods Compared) in 2026
Co-founder at Peony — I built the data room platform, with a background in document security, file systems, and AI.
Connect with me on LinkedIn! I want to help you :)I have set up Notion pages on custom domains for our own team and walked dozens of founders through the same process while building Peony. The right answer depends on what you are sharing and who sees it — and most guides skip that distinction entirely. Here is the short version:
- Public content (docs, changelog, marketing pages) → Notion Sites or Super.so
- Confidential content (investor memos, client deliverables, deal docs) → Peony
Below is the full breakdown: why custom domains matter, how to set up each option, and a decision framework for picking the right approach.
Why a custom domain matters for Notion content
A notion.site URL communicates "internal tool" — not "established company." For external audiences, this matters:
Brand trust. docs.yourcompany.com signals permanence. A Notion link signals "we're still figuring things out." In investor, client, and partner contexts, URL credibility is part of the first impression.
Link stability. Notion slugs change when you rename pages. If you promoted a notion.site/your-page-abc123 URL and later rename the page, existing bookmarks break. A domain you control lets you set up stable redirects.
SEO equity. Content on your domain builds your site's authority. Content on notion.site builds Notion's authority. For public docs, changelogs, and knowledge bases, this difference compounds over time.
Access governance. A custom domain is just the address — it does not solve who can see the content. Notion Sites serves pages publicly, meaning anyone with the URL can view them. For sensitive materials, you need an access layer on top.
Option 1: Notion Sites (native custom domain)
Notion Sites is the official first-party solution for publishing Notion pages to the web with a custom domain.
Setup
- Open the Notion page you want to publish
- Click Share → Publish to web → Sites
- Go to Settings → Sites → Domains → Add domain
- Add your domain or subdomain (e.g.,
docs.yourcompany.com) - Configure DNS — typically a CNAME record pointing to Notion's servers
- Wait for DNS propagation (usually under an hour, sometimes up to 48 hours)
- Set SEO metadata: page title, description, and social preview image
What you get
- Pages served at your domain, synced automatically from Notion
- Basic SEO fields (title, description, favicon)
- Navigation and header customization
- Up to 25 custom domains per workspace
What you do not get
- Custom CSS, fonts, or design beyond Notion's defaults
- Per-viewer analytics (you cannot see who visited or what they read)
- Access control (published pages are public — no passwords, no identity gates)
- Watermarking, NDA enforcement, or screenshot protection
Best for: Public documentation, company handbooks, changelogs, and marketing pages where SEO and professional URLs matter but gating does not.
Option 2: Super.so or Potion.so (third-party site builders)
These tools sit between Notion and your domain, adding design control and performance optimization.
Setup (Super.so example)
- Sign up at Super.so and connect your Notion workspace
- Select the Notion page to publish
- Add your custom domain in Super's dashboard
- Configure DNS per Super's instructions (usually a CNAME or A record)
- Customize styling: fonts, colors, CSS, header/footer
- Publish — changes in Notion sync automatically
What you get over Notion Sites
- Full CSS control and custom fonts
- Faster page loads (Super caches and optimizes delivery)
- Analytics integration (Google Analytics, Plausible, etc.)
- Password protection on pages (Super Plus plan, $12/month)
- Cleaner URL slugs and better SEO controls
What you still do not get
- Per-viewer identity tracking (you see aggregate traffic, not who specifically read what)
- Dynamic watermarking or screenshot protection
- NDA gates or access revocation per individual
Best for: Public-facing websites, blogs, and documentation where you need more design polish than Notion Sites offers.
Option 3: Peony (for confidential or high-stakes content)
If the content should not be public — investor updates, client deliverables, pricing sheets, legal documents — neither Notion Sites nor Super.so solves the real problem. They publish pages to the open web. You need controlled, trackable, revocable sharing.
How it works
- Export your Notion content as PDF (or connect your Notion pages directly to Peony)
- Upload to a Peony data room
- Add recipients by email for identity-bound access
- Enable security layers as needed:
- Password protection for an additional gate
- Dynamic watermarking with viewer identity on every page
- Screenshot protection that blocks and logs capture attempts
- NDA gates requiring acceptance before the first page loads
- Share the Peony link — or set up a branded redirect from your domain (e.g.,
go.yourcompany.com/dataroom→ Peony link)
What you get
- Page-level analytics: who opened it, which pages they read, how long they spent
- Per-viewer access control — add or revoke individuals with one click
- Version control — swap files behind the same link without resending
- E-signatures with AI field detection built into the viewer
- AI Q&A that answers questions about your documents with cited page numbers
Peony Business ($40/admin/month) includes the features that differentiate Peony from Notion Sites and Super.so — dynamic watermarks, screenshot protection, NDA gates, AI-powered extraction, and full data room capabilities.
Best for: Investor memos, fundraising data rooms, client deliverables, board materials, pricing documents, legal contracts — anything where you need to know who read it and control who can see it.
Decision framework: which approach is right for you?
If your Notion content is public and you want it on your domain with minimal setup → Use Notion Sites. Native, free on paid plans, no third-party dependency.
If your content is public but you need custom styling, better SEO, and faster performance → Use Super.so or Potion.so. Worth the monthly cost for brand-conscious teams.
If you need basic password protection on a public page → Super.so Plus ($12/month) adds page-level passwords. Good enough for low-sensitivity gating.
If your content is confidential and you need to know exactly who read it → Use Peony. Export from Notion, upload to a data room, share with identity-bound access. Page-level analytics, watermarking, NDA gates, and screenshot protection.
If you need both public docs and a secure data room → Use Notion Sites for your public documentation and Peony for your investor materials. They serve different audiences and are not competing tools.
Common mistakes to avoid
Publishing sensitive content on Notion Sites. If a page is published to the web, anyone with the URL can read it. "Don't reshare this link" is not a security policy. For anything confidential, use a platform with identity-based access.
Changing Notion page titles after promoting URLs. Notion slugs are derived from page titles. Rename a page and the slug changes, breaking every link and bookmark pointing to the old URL. Plan your structure and slugs before you share them externally.
Skipping SEO metadata. Notion Sites exposes title, description, and social preview fields — use them. A page without a custom meta description shows a Notion-generated snippet that rarely looks professional in search results or social shares.
Using a publishing tool when you need access control. Super.so and Notion Sites are website builders. They are excellent at making content public. They are not security tools. If you find yourself wishing for viewer tracking or access revocation, you have outgrown the publishing model — switch to Peony for those materials.
Frequently Asked Questions
I'm sharing a Notion-based investor memo with LPs — can I use my own domain and still track who reads it?
Not with Notion alone. Notion Sites lets you connect a custom domain, but it has no per-viewer analytics — you cannot see which LP opened your memo or which sections they read. Upload your memo to Peony instead and share the link branded to your domain via a redirect. Peony gives you page-level analytics showing exactly who viewed each page and for how long, plus dynamic watermarking and NDA gates before investors see the first page.
I run a SaaS company and want our product docs on docs.company.com using Notion — which approach should I use?
For public documentation that needs SEO and design customization, use Super.so or Potion.so — both connect directly to your Notion workspace, publish at your subdomain with custom styling, and handle the DNS setup for you. Notion Sites also works if you want the official first-party option. You do not need Peony for public docs. Peony is for when you need access control, analytics, and security on top of professional sharing — investor updates, client deliverables, gated content.
I'm a startup founder using Notion for everything — can I put my pitch deck and data room behind our own domain?
Yes, but not through Notion's built-in sharing. Notion Sites serves public pages only — no access control, no viewer tracking, no NDA gates. Export your pitch deck and data room materials to Peony, set up identity-bound access for each investor, and create a branded redirect like go.yourdomain.com/dataroom pointing to your Peony link. Investors see your brand in the URL, and you get page-level analytics showing who read what.
My team publishes a weekly changelog in Notion and we want it on our domain — do we need a third-party tool?
Notion Sites now supports custom domains natively on paid plans. Connect your domain via CNAME in your DNS settings, and Notion handles the hosting. This is the simplest path for a public changelog. Super.so gives you more design control if the default Notion styling feels too plain. Neither option provides per-viewer analytics or access gating — if you later need to track who reads specific updates, that is when Peony becomes relevant.
I set up a custom domain on Notion Sites but my page looks unprofessional — what am I doing wrong?
Three common issues: missing SEO metadata (set page titles, descriptions, and social preview images in the page settings), inconsistent slugs (plan your URL structure before promoting links — changing Notion page titles changes slugs and breaks bookmarks), and bare Notion styling (default fonts and layouts can look generic). Super.so or Potion.so give you CSS control and custom fonts. For confidential materials, skip the website approach entirely — upload to Peony where you control branding, access, and analytics without fighting with Notion's design limitations.
I'm a consultant sharing project deliverables with clients via Notion — can I brand the experience with my own domain and control access?
Notion's sharing options do not support branded access control. You can share a page publicly on your domain via Notion Sites, but then anyone with the URL can view it. You can share privately via invite, but that requires clients to have Notion accounts. Upload your deliverables to Peony instead and set up identity-bound access. Clients verify their email and see your documents in a clean viewer. Enable dynamic watermarking so each client's name appears on every page, discouraging unauthorized sharing of your work.
I want to use Notion as a CMS and serve content at my domain — should I use Super.so or Notion Sites?
If SEO and design flexibility matter, use Super.so — it gives you custom CSS, fonts, analytics integration, and faster page loads than Notion Sites. If you want the simplest setup with no third-party dependency, use Notion Sites with a custom domain add-on. Both sync automatically from your Notion workspace. For gated or sensitive content that needs per-viewer tracking, neither works — use Peony and handle the Notion-to-Peony export when access control matters.
I'm sharing a Notion page with a custom domain but I cannot control who sees it — how do I add access control?
Notion Sites and third-party publishing tools like Super.so serve content publicly by default. They do not offer per-viewer identity verification, NDA gates, or engagement tracking. For controlled sharing, export the content and upload to Peony. You can gate access with email verification, passwords, and NDA acceptance. Peony's screenshot protection blocks and logs capture attempts, and you can revoke any viewer's access with one click — none of which is possible through Notion's native sharing.
I need to share sensitive Notion content on my domain with 50 external partners and track who reads what — what is the best setup?
Do not publish this through Notion Sites or any public site tool — those options have no access control or per-viewer tracking. Upload your content to Peony, add your 50 partners by email for identity-bound access, and create a branded redirect from your domain to the Peony link. Peony logs every viewer, every page, and every second of engagement. Dynamic watermarking stamps each partner's identity on the content, and you can revoke access individually if a partnership ends.
I'm comparing Notion Sites, Super.so, and Peony for hosting Notion content — which one should I pick?
Pick based on audience and risk. Notion Sites is best for simple public pages with minimal setup — native custom domain, automatic sync, no third-party cost. Super.so is best when you need design control, SEO optimization, and faster performance for public-facing content. Peony is best when the content is confidential or high-stakes and you need per-viewer analytics, dynamic watermarking, NDA gates, screenshot protection, and access revocation. Many teams use Notion Sites for public docs and Peony for investor or client materials — they are not competing tools.
