Map Custom Domain

1. Step 1 - Map your domain's DNS to your application in your domain registrar. 
   
2. Step 2  - Map your application to your domain in Zoho Developer. 
   

Step 1

1. Log in to your Domain registrar's account.
   
2. Select the domain with which you want to map the URL of your application.
   
3. Create a CNAME entry with host name as "*".
   
4. Map the CNAME entry to customer.zohoplatform.com (for US domain) and customer.zohoplatform.eu (for EU domain).
   

Note

1. It is mandatory to use "*" as your CNAME host because, it acts as universal host name, that will map all the user domains to your application. Choosing any other host name will prevent the DNS from getting mapped to your application.
   For example, If you choose your host name as "a" and your customer chooses the user domain xyz, his homepage will not be mapped to your application. only the domain a.awscrm.in will be mapped to your application and other pages will not be mapped.
2. The CNAME entry should be pointed to customer.zohoplatform.com (for US domain) and customer.zohoplatform.eu (for EU domain) to enable the mapping of your domain to your application through our server.
   

Example

1. Log in to your GoDaddy account using which you have purchased the domain hippomeow.in.
   
2. Click Products > Domains > Manage.
