If you own a domain, you can customize your mini-course and collection share links by adding custom domains to your account. This feature enables you to share mini-courses or collections using a sub-domain or the domain of your website.<\/p>\n

How to add custom domains?<\/h2>\n

The process has three main steps:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Get the CNAME address from Mini Course Generator (custom.minicoursegenerator.com),<\/li>\n
  2. Redirect your sub-domain or domain to custom.minicoursegenerator.com using CNAME option in your hosting provider settings,<\/li>\n
  3. Add the redirected sub-domain or domain to your Mini Course Generator account and start using it for your mini-course or collection.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Let\u2019s get started.<\/p>\n

      \n
    • On your admin dashboard, click on “Custom Domain” at the top of the page.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      \"\"<\/p>\n

        \n
      • In the custom domain page, you will see the Mini Course Generator CNAME address provided. Copy the CNAME address and go to your hosting provider settings.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        \"\"<\/p>\n

          \n
        • In your DNS settings, choose CNAME as the DNS record type, choose a sub-domain name or use your domain, and direct it to \u201ccustom.minicoursegenerator.com\u201d.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          Although the interfaces may change for different hosting providers, the logic behind the process is the same. You can see an exemplary video below: adding CNAME redirection to DNS records on GoDaddy.<\/p>\n
