When you create HASHJOIN account you will be given a free subdomain on our own 
domain called "myindx.com" -- if that is all you want you don't have to do 
anything else.  If you already have an existing Domain Name and you want it to 
be mapped to your HASHJOIN site you can use your DNS server to create the 
following CNAME record:

    www.customdomain.com -> p010.hashjoin.com

Valid Examples:

    www.gadgets.com -> p010.hashjoin.com
    www.gadgets.co.uk -> p010.hashjoin.com
    gadgets.com -> p010.hashjoin.com
    forums.gadgets.com -> p010.hashjoin.com
    sub1.sub2.domain.com -> p010.hashjoin.com

After your DNS address has been setup update Custom Domain using My Portals -> 
[Edit Portal] link.

NOTE: if you want to resolve both www.domain.com and domain.com make sure to 
enter www.domain.com in the "Custom Domain" field -- we will then be able 
handle both addresses.  If you choose to enter NON WWW address such as 
domain.com then the WWW version will result in HTTP-404 error.

Once your custom domain is setup you will be able to access your HAHSJOIN site 
via your own custom address.

Known Issues:

   error 400 - bad request
