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
