Instructions to add your own domain
%hr

When you created the conference, the conference splash page is available in the following domain:

However, we also provide support for hosting conferences on your own domain.
Terms to get familiar with:
%p
%strong
Domain registrar:
Domain registrar is just another term used for providers who work on reserving domain names.
%p
%strong
CNAME:
A Canonical Name record is a resource used which defines that your domain name is an alias for another domain name.

To add your own domain you can follow these
%i
three
steps:
%ol
%li
Pick a domain you want to host your conference on from a domain registrar or register it with a domain registrar.
%li
Add your own domain name to OSEM ( link to conference/custom_domain#create ) and select the conference it should belong to.
%li
The last step is adding a CNAME record in your registrar’s DNS Settings. Different registrars have different ways of adding a CNAME record. The following guides would help you setup a CNAME record depending upon the registrar of your domain. If it doesn’t, you probably should get in touch with your domain registrar and ask him how to register a CNAME record in their platform.
