How can I customize the domain for my web-app with my own URL?

Do you prefer for your readers to read your content on your own domain? Us too! We get it. We understand how important it is to brand your business, even if it's just the little things like using your own URL or domain.

Our Host on Own Server feature allows you to embed our web app on a domain of your choice, so your readers will see your domain in the browser.

The domain should *not* be the main domain of your website (like examplemagazine.com), but instead a sub-domain like examplemagazine.com/magagzine. This is because the web app is not meant to be a replacement for your website, but instead should be seen as a “section” of your website.

To access this setting, you will need to go to Portal > Web App > Configure and scroll down until you see the Host on your Server box:

All you need to do is download the HTML file that was provided on the blue box, and then upload the file to your server. After that, you can simply launch the web app by going to the uploaded HTML file (examplemagazine.com/read/index.html)

Depending on your server configuration, you can also launch the web app by going to examplemagazine.com/read/ (without the index.html at the end of the URL), and the browser will still automatically load the index.html file. But note that you'll probably need help from one of your tech guys to check on this!

That is all! Now that wasn't too hard, was it? :D
