- White-label Custom Domain Name
White-label Custom Domain Name
Updated
by JQ Lee
By setting up your custom domain, you will be able to set up your white-labeled platform on your own website (e.g. app.yoursite.com) instead of app.respond.io.
In order to achieve this, you will have to enter your domain in the White-label Module and add a CNAME record to your DNS settings that point your custom domain to hosting.respond.io
.
Setting Up domain at respond.io
Step 1: Navigate to the White-label Module
Find the Domain Settings section.

Step 2: Specify the custom domain
Under the Custom Domain Name section, enter the domain that you would like to use (e.g. https://app.yoursite.com
, https://platform.yoursite.com
, or https://www.yoursite.com
).
Setting Up Your Domain at DNS
To set up your domain, you will need to add a CNAME record to your DNS settings that point to respond.io.
Step 1: Sign in at your domain's host website
First, you will have to sign in to your domain host's website. Your domain host is typically where you purchased your domain name (e.g. GoDaddy, Enom, or Name.com).
Step 2: Add a CNAME record
Once you have logged into your domain host's website, you will need to add a new CNAME record.
Go to your domain’s DNS records. Here, you want to add a record to your DNS settings, selecting CNAME as the record type.
When adding a new CNAME record, you will need to include three fields:
Field Name | Instructions |
Host (or Name) | This is the subdomain of your site. For example, if your site is You can also enter |
Values (or Points to) | The Value is where your CNAME record will point to. Enter |
TTL | The Time to Live is how long the server should cache this information (in seconds). Enter |
After filling in the fields, save your new CNAME record to be updated onto your domain host.
If your Custom Domain does not work right away, the CNAME probably has not propagated yet.
Troubleshooting
If for some reason your custom domain name still does not work after following the above instructions, you may want to try creating a new record that points to 47.52.81.46
.
HTTP 404 Error Message
If you receive a 404 error message when trying to access your custom domain, even after your DNS record has been updated, it’s because the custom domain hasn't been configured on the respond.io platform.
On the respond.io platform, log in with your Reseller account and follow these instructions.
