This guide will help you configure a custom domain name for your Treefort app. This domain name will be used for your web app and login portal.
1. Choose a domain name
It's important to pick a domain name that represents your brand well. This name will be visible to anyone who uses your app on the web. You can use a new root domain name (like example.com) or create a new subdomain under an existing domain name (like app.example.com).
👉 We recommend choosing a subdomain for your streaming app so that you can host a custom website at your root domain. You can use this website to introduce your brand, explain your app, and host custom pages.
2. Configure your domain name
Once you have a domain name you need to point it to Treefort. This process varies slightly depending on whether you chose a root domain or a subdomain for your app.
🚧 This process will make your chosen root domain or subdomain temporarily unavailable. If you are currently using the domain, please contact us for help before proceeding.
