There are two ways to brand the app to your domain name. By branding we mean that users will see you domain as the source of the installation.


(1) Easy - Branding with SUBDOMAIN


After this procedure can use a64hs61c54d.YOURDOMAIN.com in all the app links, instead of  a64hs61c54d.mobsted.com.


a) Log into your website's domain admin panel. 


b) Create new record of type "CNAME"


c) Put into "HOST" = your mobsted account name, which you can see in example in BOLD - http://a64hs61c54d-admin.mobsted.com/


d) Set it's "POINT TO" = your mobsted account name - http://a64hs61c54d.mobsted.com/ - WITHOUT the "-admin"


_________


e) Create the second new record of type "CNAME"


f) Put into "HOST" = your mobsted account name WITH THE "-ADMIN" part , which you can see in example in BOLD - http://a64hs61c54d-admin.mobsted.com/


g) Set it's "POINT TO" = your mobsted account name - http://a64hs61c54d-admin.mobsted.com/



So, you will have 2 new CNAMES pointing to 2 subdomains in Mobsted system, for branding to work properly.


ALLOW for about 15 minutes to a couple of hours for the procedure to take effect, as your domain hosting provider needs to update it's records into the world wide web.



Info
titleVERY IMPORTANT

You MUST 100% match both CNAME's host name and the domain it points to your account ID. For all automatic account it is alphanumeric, but it can also be branded for accounts, which we create manually for partners.




(2) Harder - Branding using web server, i.e. NGINX



You need to modify you NGINX instructions with Mobsted commands.


We recommend creating a new CONF file in pone of the catalogs, /etc/nginx/sites-available/{DOMAIN}/server
or /etc/nginx/sites-available/{DOMAIN}/location, with the following instructions:
