## Custom domain setup

## Getting there

Go to **Look & Feel** in the top navigation and select **Website**.

## Advanced tab

### Portal address

Your portal has a default URL in the format `https://[yourname].examprofessor.com`. The middle field lets you set a **vanity subdomain**, replacing the default with something like your organization's name. Use **Copy Link** to copy the full address, or **View your portal** to open it directly.

### Custom domain

If you'd rather have students access your portal at a completely custom URL like `learn.yourcompany.com`, enter it in the **Custom domain** field. You'll need to set up a CNAME record with your domain provider pointing to `sites.examprofessor.com`. The **SSL status** field below confirms whether your custom domain's SSL certificate is active once the CNAME is in place.

### Tips

Setting up a **Custom domain** takes a short time to propagate after the CNAME is configured. Check **SSL status** after a few hours to confirm the certificate has been issued correctly before sharing the custom URL with students.
