Point a Custom Domain to AssetSonar Using a CNAME

Your company domain/URL can be configured to have an additional web address, meaning yourcompany.com can also support requests.yourcompany.com. One way to do this is to add a CNAME record (also known as Canonical Name record) to your domain.

To add a CNAME to your domain, youโ€™ll need to log into your Domain Registrarโ€™s DNS manager. In case you forgot who you bought your domain from, search for your domain at http://reports.internic.net/cgi/whois.

Here are the steps for adding a CNAME in GoDaddy. Skip steps 1 to 2 if you have a different registrar.

1. Log in to your GoDaddy DNS account.
2. Click on the user icon in the top right, then go to My Products > your chosen domain > DNS.

3. On the Records page, click the โ€˜Addโ€™ button on the bottom right:

4. Choose โ€˜CNAMEโ€™ from the dropdown:

5. In the โ€˜Hostโ€™ field, enter the CNAME you want to use with your current URL (for example โ€˜requestsโ€™ for requests.mywebsite.com)
6. In the โ€˜Points Toโ€™ section, enter your WebStore URL (for example, yourcompanyname.assetsonar.com)

You can also use your Admin login URL if you donโ€™t have a Webstore and want your staff to use your corporate URL (for example, yourcompanyname.assetsonar.com).

7. Click โ€˜Saveโ€™.

Note: It can take up to 72 hours for the changes to be made.
