# Custom Domain for Organisation

## Custom Domain for Organisation

## Custom Domain

EventX now allows organizers to self configure a Custom Domain for their event sites, helping improve branding and provide a more professional experience for attendees.

Instead of using the default EventX URL:

[https://spot.eventx.io/events/{{event\_id}}](https://spot.eventx.io/events/%7B%7Bevent_id%7D%7D)

you can host your event pages under your own branded domain, such as:

<https://demo.event.day>

Custom domains are configured at the **organisation level**, allowing multiple events to share the same domain.

### Benefits

By using your own custom domain, you can:

1. **Strengthen your event branding**
2. **Provide a more professional and consistent experience**
3. Manage multiple events under one branded domain, **keeping your events organized**
4. **Create custom event paths** for different events within your organisation

Example:

1. <https://demo.event.day/event01>
2. <https://demo.event.day/event02>

You can also configure a **redirect URL for the default landing page** of the custom domain.

### Prerequisites

Before setting up your custom domain, please ensure:

* You can log in to your **domain** **registrar account**.
* You have access to manage **DNS settings** with your domain provider.

### Setup Steps

Follow the steps below to configure a custom domain for your organisation.

**Step 1 — Self Configure the Custom Domain in the EventX Portal**

1. Go to **Custom Domain** section in the EventX portal. Click **+ Add Domain.**\

**Step 2 — Add a CNAME and TXT Record**

Log in to your domain provider and add the CNAME and TXT record provided by EventX portal.

Example domain:

[https://demo.event.day](https://demo.event.day/)

Type: **CNAME**\
Name: **demo**\
Value: **esaas-custom-domain.eventx.io**

Type: **TXT**\
Name: **@**\
Value: **{{verification value generated in the EventX portal}}**

**Step 3 — Wait for Verification**

After the DNS records were added, go back to EventX portal and click **Verify Domain.** EventX will then automatically verify your domain. The verification process usually takes about *10–15 minutes*.

Once verification is completed, the custom domain will be successfully connected to your organisation and can be used for your event pages.

### **Note**

#### **Mainland China Accessibility**

Mainland China accessibility will not be guaranteed for your own custom domain, as EventX cannot control the nameserver for the custom domain.

For Mainland China location browsing, the event URL will be redirect to EventX Mainland China friendly domain ([https://spot.eventx.com.cn/eventx/{{event\_id}})](https://eventxapp.com/%7B%7Bevent_id%7D%7D))

#### **Domain Provider Limitation**

Some domain providers (eg. Godaddy) don't allow setting CNAME on the root domain ([http://event.day](http://eventx.io)). You will need to use a subdomain (<https://demo.event.day>) for a custom domain.\
If you intended to use the root domain as the custom domain for your event, you can set up the custom domain on the cname [www](http://www). Then do a URL forward the root domain (<https://event.day)> to (<https://www.event.day)>
