The domain is the web identifier of your online training platform, and where users can access it. By default, when you contract your LMS with Foxize Cloud, we use [your project name].foxizecloud.com as the domain for your platform. It is made up of a subdomain [project name] and a main domain [foxizecloud.com].
If you want to use your own custom domain, you will need to follow the steps explained below.
1. Create you own domain
What is a domain? It is the unique and exclusive name that is assigned to your web page on the Internet. Thanks to the domain that you have linked to your website, those users who search for you on the internet by the name of your website will easily find you and can access your content.
*If you already have a personal domain that you want to use for your platform, you can skip this first step.
**In the event that you already have your own domain and want to create a subdomain, you must do so through your provider. Once created, proceed to step 2.
How to create your own domain?
To create your domain, you will need to buy it from a provider. There are different platforms where you can buy them, including Nominalia, Arsys, Godaddy, DirectNic, CDMON. In it you can search for the name you want to give to your domain and buy it. The purchasing process is different for each supplier.
If you already have your domain, you can contact us through the ‘Help’ tab in your platform administrator or by sending us an email to: soporte@foxizecloud.comso that we can provide you with the necessary information to continue with step 3.
3. DNS Configuration
What is a DNS? It is a database that links meaningful names that we all understand to a specific IP address.
You must configure your domain to redirect to your Foxize Cloud platform.
You will find a domain manager on your provider's website. In it, you must configure an option for you new domain called "DNS".
4. Validation and implementation
Once you have completed the configuration with the parameters we have provided, please contact us again.
We will then validate that the changes have been made correctly and that your domain points to Foxize.
If everything is correct, we will carry out the change within 72 hours. After that time, your domain will be available.
Remember: the domain change is included in the Business and Enterprise plans.
Once configured, we will inform you via email so that you can access your platform with your new domain.
If you have any questions, you can contact us through the ‘Help’ tab in your platform administrator or by writing to us at: soporte@foxizecloud.com
