Zoho ShowTime: Host training courses under your own domain and build brand recognition with your global audience.

As a trainer, owning your own unique website and domain name is key to maintaining a strong, unified brand. Using your website to host your online courses creates a digital home base where you can communicate with your virtual classroom and remote learners.  
 
Having your own domain name also increases your brand's positioning and reach through search results on top search engines like Google, Yahoo, and Bing. Prospective customers will more readily pay for courses from an organization with a professional, established online presence. This custom domain establishes you as a leader in your area of subject expertise, helping you promote your courses and build brand recognition with your global audience.
 
We at ShowTime recognize the importance of building your business with a unified brand, and are happy to offer customizable URL capabilities. Just replace the <organization_name>.zohoshowtime.com URL with your own branded website, and all your courses are be available under your own domain and your learners can participate by navigating to your website URL.

Note: The Custom Domain feature is available in Standard, Professional and Enterprise plans.
 
Here's how to add your custom domain in ShowTime: 
 
1. Click the Adminstration tab from the side menu in your portal, then click the Branding tab. Here, you can see the default domain (offered by Zoho ShowTime) where all your trainings are hosted. 



2. Under the Custom domain tab, click Add Custom Domain and enter your new domain.



3. Be sure to create a record for CNAME in the DNS settings of your domain registrar and map it to <unique_value>.showtime.cs.zohohost.com (Learn how to do this here). Verify the domain mapping once it's done. 


4. Kindly ensure that a secure sockets layer (SSL) certificate is verified for your domain. If this is done, your custom domain will be mapped automatically. If an SSL certificate is unavailable, please click the Apply Domain SSL Certificate button and Zoho ShowTime will install a group SSL certificate for you for free.

Since making a custom web address is generally affordable, it's a great way to make your brand even more professional, your training courses more useful to your learners, and your online presence more representative of your organization. Start hosting your training courses under your own domain in Zoho ShowTime today!

      Raising one's hand was the ancient style of getting people to acknowledge a speaker. People clapped to show their appreciation and booed to show their disapproval since the Roman times. Even today, in many senates and parliaments 'yays' and 'nays' are registered verbally. But, how can one genuinely measure audience response? The solution was in the form of an Audience Response System (ARS). An ARS is a tool that is used to connect speakers to their participants. This helped in measuring audience
