Custom sub domain (CNAME Redirect)

Important: We don't sell custom domains. If you don't have a custom domain, buy one from any domain registrar out there.

Use this method when you want to link a sub domain with your ExploreMyPC project. For example, if you want to create a landing page on your custom domain (landing.mydomain.com) but keep your current website and main domain (mydomain.com) where it is.

Follow these steps to link your custom sub domain with your ExploreMyPC project.

  • Type needs to be CNAME

  • Host (might be Alias) needs to be the name of your sub domain, in our example landing, replace that with your own

  • Points to (might be Canonical Name or Redirect) needs to be your unique project name from ExploreMyPC (in our case mysite.exploremypc.site, yours will be different).

  • Leave TTL with the default value

Important: It takes up to 48 hours for these changes to propagate across the internet.
