Enhance Your Virtual Tours with CloudPano's Whitelabel Domain Feature

Welcome to CloudPano! In this guide, we're excited to introduce you to one of our most powerful features for Pro users: the Whitelabel Domain or custom domain functionality. This unique feature allows you to personalize your virtual tours by using your own domain name, giving your tours a more professional and branded look. Let's dive into how you can set this up and the benefits it brings to your business.

Setting Up Your Custom Domain

Step-by-Step Guide:

1. Choose Your Domain Host: Begin by logging into your domain host. Popular choices among our users include Bluehost, HostGator, and GoDaddy. If you're unsure how to proceed with your specific host, a quick YouTube search like "how to point your CNAME with [Your Host Name]" can provide helpful video tutorials.
2. Access Your DNS Records: Navigate to your domain's DNS settings, often found under a "Zone Editor" or similar section. Here you'll manage the changes needed to link your domain with CloudPano.
3. Add a CNAME Record: You'll be adding a new record with the type set to CNAME. The label/host field should be a subdomain of your choosing (e.g., tours.yourdomain.com), pointing to app.cloudpano.com.
4. Notify CloudPano: After adding the CNAME record, contact our support team to finalize the setup on our end. This ensures your custom domain functions seamlessly with our platform.

Benefits of Using a Custom Domain:

• Enhanced Branding: Your virtual tours will display your domain name, reinforcing your brand identity and professionalism.
• Simplified Sharing: Share your tours using a URL that's memorable and consistent with your branding, making it easier for clients to recognize and trust.
• One-Time Setup: Once configured, your custom domain will automatically apply to all future tours, saving you time and hassle.
• Seamless Integration: Your tours will appear as a natural extension of your website, providing a fluid user experience for your visitors.

How It Works Practically

After setting up your custom domain, creating and sharing tours is straightforward. When you're ready to share a tour:

1. Create Your Tour: Finish creating your tour on CloudPano and hit publish.
2. Share Your Tour: Use the "Share and Embed" option or the direct link provided to share your tour.
3. Customize the Link: Replace the beginning of the shared link with your CNAME (e.g., tours.yourdomain.com), keeping the rest of the URL intact. This custom link is now ready to be distributed to your audience.
