ABOUT FORCE.COM DOMAIN

The Force.com Domain

For each of your sites, you determine the URL of the site by establishing the site's domain name. You can choose one of the following domain options:

• Use your Force.com domain name, which is your unique subdomain prefix plus force.com. For example, if you choose mycompany as your subdomain prefix, your domain name would behttp://www.mycompany.force.com. The name is case-sensitive.
  Note

  Your Force.com domain name is used for all the sites that you create. For example, your company could create one public site for partners, another for developers, and a third for support. If your company's domain is http://www.mycompany.force.com, those three sites might have the following URLs:

  • http://mycompany.force.com/partners
  • http://mycompany.force.com/developers
  • http://mycompany.force.com/support
• Create a branded, custom Web address, such as http://www.mycompanyideas.com, by registering through a domain name registrar. Create CNAME records to redirect your branded domain and subdomains to your Force.com domain without exposing the force.com name in the URL. It can take up to 48 hours for your Force.com domain to become available on the Internet. Custom Web addresses aren't supported for sandbox or Developer Edition organizations.
