Dashboard Domain

The Dashboard Domain is the domain your clients see on your preview pages. This domain is also used for your client login, dashboard, and editor.

To use the default domain, select Default Domain and type a sub-domain in the field provided. Select either responsivesiteeditor.com or responsivesiteeditor.io for the domain.

To use a custom domain, select Custom Domain and type a domain name including the full address in the field provided. For example, login.sitename.com. If you are unsure sure what settings to use for your custom domain, we recommend the following (replace yourdomain.com below with your own domain name):

• Custom Domain name: preview.yourdomain.com
• CNAME settings:
• host: preview
• domain: m.previewmymobile.com
• Note

  This sub-domain needs to be unique. That is, you cannot reuse a sub-domain which is already in use. For example, if your site is live with www.yoursite.com, then you cannot use "www." as the sub-domain in this section.

• Depending on what you have entered, it will return the CNAME record to add in your domain registrar's DNS settings. Take these records and go into your domain registrar (GoDaddy, Bluehost, and so on) and add them.
  If you are unable to find these settings, contact your domain host. Setting up a CNAME is very similar to setting up a CNAME for a responsive or mobile site and may also take some time to propagate.
• After you have finished adding the CNAME record, return to the Dashboard Domain page and click Verify to confirm the settings.
  You are now be able to access your white-labeled dashboard by using the domain you have set up.
• Click Save.

Sites Domain

Set the default URL for sites published under your account. You can use the default sub-domain or set your own domain.

To use the default domain, select Default Domain and type a sub-domain in the <SiteName>field provided.

To use a custom domain, select Custom Domain and define your own domain for live sites. In order to set up the custom domain, you must go to the domain host and edit the DNS records. For more information, see Domain Setup.

If you are unsure what settings to use for your site domain, we recommend the following (replace yourdomain.com below with your own domain name):

• Custom Domain name: yourdomain.com
• CNAME settings:
• host: *
• domain: s.dudaone.com

Mobile-Only Sites Domain

Set the default URL for mobile-only sites published under your account. You can use the default domain of mobilewebsiteserver.com, or set up a custom domain.

To use the default domain, select Default Domain.

To use a custom domain, select Custom Domain and define your own domain for mobile-only live sites. In order to set up the custom domain, you must go to the domain host and edit the DNS records. For more information, see Domain Setup.

If you are unsure what settings to use for your mobile-only site, we recommend the following (replace yourdomain.com below with your own domain name):

• Custom Domain name: mobile.yourdomain.com
• CNAME settings:
• host: mobile
• domain: m.mobilewebsiteserver.com
