How to set up your custom domain

How to set up your custom domain

Last update: Thursday, Nov 28, 2019

When you create your first Knowledge Base Entry in your knowledge base, your content is available through xenoapp.help by default. Your URL will look like this: exampleapp.xenoapp.help (this URL is provided with HTTPS by default.

If you’d like to use a different URL, you can create one by setting up a custom domain. Here’s how:

First, enter your custom domain in Xeno

Enter the custom domain you want to use in your Help Center settings. Let’s use help.exampleapp.com as an example:

Next, create a custom CNAME record

  1. Go to your DNS provider’s website (e.g. GoDaddy or Cloudflare). If you’re choosing one for the first time, go with one that supports SSL.

  2. Create a CNAME (‘canonical name’) record for your custom domain.

  3. Point it at Xeno's host domain: your.xenoapp.help

Important: DNS changes can sometimes take up to 72 hours to take effect, but are typically much faster.

What’s next? Now that you’ve set up your custom domain, you should customize your Help Center. You can change colors, add a favicon and header image and more so it matches your brand.
