Domain mapping

Domain mapping

Your domain creates a unique identity for your institution's brand. In order to add students and staff to your portal in Zoho Campus, you need to configure your domain.

  • If you own a domain already, you can easily configure it in Zoho Campus and start inviting users to your organization.

  • If you don't own a domain, you can purchase one via Zoho Mail through Zoho Campus.

 

To configure your domain:

  1. Click on Add Domain under Quick links in Dashboard. This will redirect you to the Campus Admin Panel.

 

There is also an alternative way to go to the Campus Admin Panel.

  • Click Admin in the top right of the Dashboard and select Setup. This will redirect you to the Campus Admin Panel.

  • Select Settings from the side menu on the left.

  • Select Customization, then Domains.

 

If you own a domain already:

  1. Click Add

  2. Enter your Domain Name

 

  1. Click Add Domain. You will be redirected to the Mail Admin Console.

  2. Click Add and enter your domain name in the pop-up.

  3. Once you're done, click Add.

  4. Once you verified your domain ownership, your domain will be added successfully.

 

Verify domain

You should have ownership over the domain you add and have access to its DNS. Zoho has a verification process to ensure this. There are two ways through which you can verify your domain.

  1. One-click verification
  2. Manual verification 

One-click verification:

To verify your domain through one-click verification, login to your DNS provider, authenticate with Zoho Mail to use your DNS provider and add the DNS record. Your domain will be now be verified. The one-click verification option is currently available for the below domain providers: GoDaddy, 1&1

Manual verification: 

If your domain provider is not GoDaddy or 1&1, you can verify the domain through any one of the following ways:

CNAME method - Get a unique CNAME code generated and add it in your DNS Manager. You can view there the step-wise instructions to add the code for your specific provider. After adding the record, click Verify CNAME in the Domains page of the Admin Console. 

TXT Record method - Copy the auto-generated zb code from Admin Console and add it in the TXT Record in your DNS Manager. After adding the record, click Verify TXT in the Domains page of the Admin Console.  

HTML method - Upload the given HTML file to a folder called zohoverify that you should create in root of your website. Now when you click Verify, your domain will be verified based on this file. 

If domain verification fails, refer to Domain Verification Failure - Possible Reasons to learn more.



If you don't own a domain:

  1. Click Buy. You will be taken to the Buy Domain page of the Mail Admin Console.
