Add a domain to your platform

Zamn lets you change your platform's domain, or connect your platform to a custom domain.

A domain is the address you type in the browser bar to reach a specific website.

This article covers:

  • Changing the default Zamn domain.
  • Connecting a custom domain to your platform.

The default Zamn domain ends with ( .zamn.app ).

  10. Type your custom domain in the Domain field, for example: online.class.app.

  11. Click Submit.

Note

The domain may work right away, or it may take up to 24 hours. When the domain is ready, a green ✓ mark shows next to Wait until your DNS updated in the internet in the Domain settings.

When the domain is ready:

  1. Open the Domain settings again.

  2. Choose Domain under Primary Domain.

  3. Click Submit.

Your custom domain is now connected, and everyone can reach your platform through it.

If this time has passed and you still cannot open your platform with the custom domain, please contact technical support on WhatsApp.

Redirect​

A redirect is needed only if you want your platform on Zamn to open from your main domain. For example, if you want your platform to open when people type "class.app", you must create a redirect from class.app to www.class.app.

Otherwise, you do not need a redirect. For example, if you want your platform to open on:

  • online.class.app
  • lms.class.app

As explained above, the platform will open on a subdomain of your main domain. In this example, the subdomains are online and lms.
