You can use PhishingBox with domains that you own or control. You will need access to the domain's DNS records. Check with your hosting providers for documentation on configuring DNS.
Basic DNS
If you're setting up a subdomain (i.e., blog.contoso.com), you must configure a CNAME record and point the record to landing.phishingbox.com (US) or landing-eu.phishingbox.com (EU). If you're trying to configure a root domain (i.e., contoso.com), you will need to create an A record and point it to:
64.191.166.205 - US
64.238.34.20 - EU
64.191.166.219 - Online Signup
An SSL certificate will then be automatically generated.
To send mail using your custom domain, you will need a TXT record that looks like this:
US: v=spf1 ip4:64.191.166.0/24-all
EU: v=spf1 ip4:64.238.34.0/24-all
NOTE: If you are configuring a subdomain, you will need to use an A record instead of a CNAME record, as subdomains cannot have both TXT records and CNAME records.
Once the CNAME record or A record has been created, the SPF record has been created, and DNS has had time to propagate the updates, it may be used as a custom domain within PhishingBox.
NOTE: DNS may take up to 48 hours to propagate the updates.
DKIM and DMARC
DKIM and DMARC are not required to send an email using the custom template domain, but are required by most modern mail clients. The following are records for DMARC and DKIM, replace 'domain' with your domain name:
DKIM
Name: pbox._domainkey.domain
Type: CNAME
Value: pbox._domainkey.ourphish.com
DMARC
Name: _DMARC.domain
Type: CNAME
Value: _DMARC.ourphish.com
Adding a Custom Template Domain
To add the custom domain to your account, follow the steps below:
- Navigate to Templates > Template Domains
- Click the
button
- Input your domain
- Click the
button
- Finally, click the

The "Add" button will only become available if the test passes. Once added, the domain will be visible in your list of Account Domains.
