In this tutorial, we will guide you through the process of creating a custom domain, allowing you to rebrand your client portal URL to align with your business. Let's get started!
Step 1: Accessing Domain Setup
1. Log in to your FEA Create dashboard.
2. Navigate to the "Sites and Client Portals" section.
3. Click on "Domain Setup" to manage your client portal's domain settings.
Step 2: Adding a Custom Domain
1. In the "Custom Domain" section, select the option to add a DNS record.
2. Choose between adding a CNAME or an A record. For this tutorial, we will focus on adding an A record.
Step 3: Adding an A Record
1. Copy the numerical values provided in the FEA Create dashboard. 34.67.19.69
2. Access your domain's DNS records through your domain registrar or hosting provider.
3. Add a new record, selecting "A" as the record type.
4. Set the "Name" field to match the desired link for your custom domain (e.g., portal.yourdomain.com).
5. Paste the copied numerical values into the "Value" field, ensuring there are no spaces.
6. Leave the "TTL" field blank and save the changes.
Step 4: Verifying and Updating the Custom Domain
1. It may take a few minutes for the DNS records to update, although it can take up to 48 hours in some cases.
2. Return to your FEA Create dashboard and enter the custom domain link you created using the DNS record.
3. Append the chosen prefix (e.g., portal) before your website name (e.g., yourwebsite.com).
4. Click "Update Domain" to save the changes.
5. You will see a notification indicating that your domain settings have been updated successfully.
Using a custom domain allows you to rebrand your client portal URL, making it more closely aligned with your business or brand. Remember that DNS record updates may take some time to propagate fully, but in most cases, a few minutes should be sufficient. Embrace the power of a custom domain and provide your clients with a seamless and personalized experience in FEA Create.
