Domain Management

Domains Overview

Domains serve as the foundation for hosting phishing simulation websites and landing pages, providing URLs that recipients will interact with during campaigns. Domain configuration is required for creating phishing scenarios that test user awareness and provide security training insights.

Creating Domain Configurations

Domain creation establishes the hosting foundation for your phishing simulation infrastructure. Configuration ensures user experiences and maintains the credibility necessary for security awareness training campaigns.

Prerequisites: Before creating a domain, ensure that a DNS A Record is configured to point to your Phishing Club server's IP address. This DNS configuration is required for domain resolution and SSL certificate provisioning.

Note: Proxy domains are automatically created when you configure proxy settings and cannot be manually created through this interface. See the Proxies guide for information about proxy domain management.

Configuration Description
Domain The fully qualified domain name used for phishing simulation hosting
Website Hosting Host a website on the domain or redirect on visit
Managed TLS Automatic SSL/TLS certificate management through Let's Encrypt
Self Managed TLS Manual SSL/TLS certificate management using certificates

After creating the domain, you can add custom website content and configure custom 404 error pages through the Actions menu. These customizations help create phishing scenarios that test user awareness.

Proxy Domains

Proxy domains retrieve content from other websites. These domains are managed via. the Proxy page and can not be created or deleted on the domains page. Only the TLS handling can be edited on domains page.

Important: Proxy domains cannot be converted to regular domains or vice versa. Each domain type serves distinct purposes in your phishing simulation infrastructure. For detailed proxy configuration and management, refer to the Proxies guide.

Content Editor Interface

The content editor provides tools for customizing domain websites and 404 error pages. This interface enables creation of web content that supports your phishing simulation environment and improves user engagement during security awareness training.

External Preview Open content in a separate browser window for full-screen preview and testing

Landing Pages Management

Landing pages are the interactive components of your phishing simulations, designed to engage recipients and collect behavioral data for security awareness training. These pages are organized under campaign templates and can be configured for various stages of the user interaction journey.

Pages can serve multiple roles within your simulation workflow: Pre-Landing Pages for initial engagement, Main Landing Pages for primary interaction, Post-Landing Pages for education or redirection, and Deny Pages for IP filtering scenarios.

Creating Landing Pages

Landing page creation enables you to design interactive experiences that test user security awareness while providing simulation scenarios. Each page can be customized with dynamic content, personalization variables, and interaction tracking.

Begin by providing a name that identifies the page's purpose and role within your campaign template. Consider using naming conventions that reflect the page's function and target audience.

Access the content editor by clicking Editor to reveal design and customization options:

Asset Management System

The asset management system provides tools for uploading, organizing, and deploying multimedia content across your phishing simulation infrastructure. Assets include images, JavaScript files, CSS stylesheets, documents, and other resources that support the functionality of your landing pages and websites.

Access global assets through Open Shared Assets to manage resources available across all domains and campaigns. These shared assets promote consistency in content deployment.

Select specific domain names from the domains table to manage domain-specific assets that are only available within that particular domain's hosting environment.

Asset Priority and Resolution

The asset system implements priority resolution: when assets with identical paths exist in both Shared Assets and domain-specific collections, the system prioritizes domain-specific assets first, falling back to global assets when domain-specific versions are unavailable. This hierarchy enables both global branding and domain-specific customization.

Uploading and Managing Assets

Asset upload functionality enables you to deploy multimedia content, scripts, stylesheets, and other resources to support the functionality of your phishing simulation infrastructure. Asset management is important for creating simulation experiences that test user security awareness.

Field Purpose and Usage
Asset Name Identifier for asset management and organization. Used for internal reference only, not for asset retrieval or URL generation.
Description Information about the asset's purpose, usage context, or special considerations for team collaboration and maintenance.
URL Path Path from the domain root where the asset will be accessible. This path determines the asset's URL structure and accessibility from landing pages.
File Upload Select single or multiple files for upload. Bulk uploads automatically create individual asset entries for each file.
