How to apply my domain name to my Odoo instance

First let's authorize the redirection (yourcompany.com -> yourcompany.odoo.com):

  • Open your Odoo.com account from your homepage.
  • Go to the Manage Databases page.
  • Click on Domains to the right of the database you would like to redirect.
  • A database domain prompt will appear. Enter your custom domain (e.g. www.yourcompany.com).

We can now apply the redirection from your domain name's manager account:

  • Log in to your account and search for the DNS Zones management page.
  • Create a CNAME record www.yourdomain.com pointing to mywebsite.odoo.com. If you want to use the naked domain (e.g. yourdomain.com), you need to redirect yourdomain.com to www.yourdomain.com.
