Domain names
|
||||
============
|
||||
|
||||
A **domain name** works as an address for your website. It makes the Internet much more accessible
|
||||
as it allows users to type a meaningful web address, such as ``www.odoo.com``, rather than its
|
||||
server's IP address with a series of numbers.
|
||||
Domain names are text-based addresses identifying online locations, such as websites. They provide a
|
||||
more memorable and recognizable way for people to navigate the internet than numerical IP addresses.
|
||||
|
||||
You can use a custom domain name to access your Odoo database and websites:
|
||||
**Odoo Online** and **Odoo.sh** databases use a **subdomain** of the `odoo.com` **domain** by
|
||||
default (e.g., `mycompany.odoo.com`).
|
||||
|
||||
- By :ref:`registering a free domain name with Odoo <domain-name/odoo-register>` (for Odoo Online
|
||||
databases)
|
||||
- By :ref:`configuring a custom domain that you already own <domain-name/existing>`.
|
||||
|
||||
.. note::
|
||||
Odoo Online and Odoo.sh databases, including their websites, use by default a subdomain of
|
||||
``odoo.com`` for both the URL and the emails (e.g., ``https://example.odoo.com``).
|
||||
|
||||
.. important::
|
||||
Odoo offers a :ref:`free custom domain name <domain-name/odoo-register>` to all Odoo Online
|
||||
databases for one year. Visitors can then access your website with an address such as
|
||||
``www.example.com`` rather than the default ``example.odoo.com``.
|
||||
However, you can use a custom domain name instead by :ref:`registering a free domain name
|
||||
<domain-name/register>` (only available for Odoo Online databases) or by :ref:`configuring a
|
||||
domain name you already own <domain-name/existing>`.

About domain names
|
||||
==================
|
||||
|
||||
Having a **good domain name** is as important to your branding as the name of your business or
|
||||
organization as it is the first thing your visitors will notice. We recommend you keep them *simple,
|
||||
short, easy to remember and spell*.
|
||||
|
||||
A **subdomain** is a domain that is a part of another domain. It often refers to the additional part
|
||||
that comes before the main domain name. Traditionally, most websites use the ``www.`` subdomain,
|
||||
but any string of letters can be used as well. You can use subdomains to direct your visitors to
|
||||
other websites than your main website or to specific pages (e.g., ``experience.odoo.com`` points to
|
||||
a specific page.)
|
||||
|
||||
All domain names are referenced in the **Domain Name System**, or **DNS**, which works as a giant
|
||||
directory for the Internet. There are many DNS servers, so any modification to the DNS can take up
|
||||
to 72 hours to propagate worldwide on all servers.
|
||||
|
||||
.. _domain-name/indexing:
|
||||
|
||||
Indexing of domain names by search engines
|
||||
------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Search engines, such as Google and Bing, rely on web crawlers (:dfn:`robots that explore and analyze
|
||||
the web`) to index all websites and their related domain names. These crawlers discover new URLs
|
||||
thanks to links on known web pages. As a result, search engines should index domain names
|
||||
automatically after a while, as long as their URLs are mentioned elsewhere on the Internet.
|
||||
|
||||
Improving the appearance and positioning of web pages on search engines is a practice named "Search
|
||||
Engine Optimization" (SEO).
|
||||
|
||||
.. tip::
|
||||
Adding relevant content, optimizing metadata, and building high-quality backlinks can all help
|
||||
improve a website's search engine visibility.
|
||||
|
||||
Some search engines provide tools for web admins, such as
|
||||
`Google Search Console <https://search.google.com/search-console>`_ and
|
||||
`Bing Webmaster Tools <https://www.bing.com/webmasters>`_, to help you analyze and improve your
|
||||
page ranking. To use these services, you must prove that you are the owner of your domain name. One
|
||||
way to verify the ownership of your domain name is by adding a DNS record. You can do this for
|
||||
:ref:`domain names registered with Odoo <domain-name/odoo-manage>` and for domain names managed by
|
||||
other providers.

Register a free domain name with Odoo
|
||||
=====================================
|
||||
|
||||
You can register a domain name for your Odoo Online database directly from Odoo Website or your
|
||||
database manager.
|
||||
To register a one-year free domain name for your Odoo Online database, sign in to your account and
|
||||
go to the `database manager <https://www.odoo.com/my/databases>`_. Click the gear icon
|
||||
(:guilabel:`⚙️`) next to the database name and select :guilabel:`Domain Names`.
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
:alt: Searching for an available domain name
|
||||
|
||||
.. tip::
|
||||
Ensure the Website app is installed if the domain name registration option does not appear.
|
||||
|
||||
Select the desired domain name, fill in the :guilabel:`Domain Owner` form, and click
|
||||
:guilabel:`Register`. The chosen domain name is directly linked to the database, but you still need
|
||||
to :ref:`map your domain name to your Odoo website <domain-name/db-map>`.
|
||||
|
||||
.. image:: domain_names/domain-owner.png
|
||||
:alt: Filling in the domain owner information
|
||||
|
||||
.. important::
|
||||
- Your domain name is **free for one year** if you register it with Odoo!
|
||||
- The domain name is registered with `Gandi <https://www.gandi.net/>`_, the domain name
|
||||
registrar.
|
||||
- You are the owner of the domain name and can use it for other purposes.
|
||||
- Odoo manages payment and technical support for you.
|
||||
- This offer doesn't include any mailbox. However, you can :ref:`configure your MX records
|
||||
<domain-name/odoo-manage>` to use your own email server or solution such as Google Workspace.
|
||||
A verification email from `noreply@domainnameverification.net` will be sent to the email address
|
||||
provided in the :guilabel:`Domain Owner` form. It is essential to verify your email address to
|
||||
keep the domain active and receive the renewal quote before expiration.
|
||||
|
||||
To do so, go to :menuselection:`Website --> Domain Name`. Alternatively, open your `database manager
|
||||
<https://www.odoo.com/my/databases>`_, click on the :guilabel:`settings` button next to your
|
||||
database, then on :guilabel:`Domain names`.
|
||||

||||
.. image:: domain_names/register-menu.png
|
||||
:align: center
|
||||
:alt: Clicking on Domain Names from an Odoo website
|
||||
|
||||
Search for the domain name of your choice to check its availability, then select the one you want to
|
||||
register for your website.
|
||||
|
||||
.. image:: domain_names/register-search.png
|
||||
:align: center
|
||||
:alt: The search of the domain name example.com shows which associated domains are available.
|
||||
|
||||
Next, fill in the form with your information to become the domain name owner.
|
||||
|
||||
Your domain name is directly linked to your database, but you still have to :ref:`map your domain
|
||||
name with your website <domain-name/website-map>`.
|
||||
The domain name registration is free for the first year. After this period, Odoo will continue to
|
||||
manage the domain in partnership with **Gandi.net**, the domain name registrar, and you will be
|
||||
charged `Gandi.net's renewal rate <https://www.gandi.net/en/domain>`_. Odoo sends a renewal
|
||||
quotation every year to the email address mentioned in the :guilabel:`Domain Owner` form several
|
||||
weeks before the expiration date of the domain. The domain is renewed automatically when the
|
||||
quotation is confirmed.
|
||||
|
||||
.. note::
|
||||
- Free domain names are also available for free Odoo Online databases (if you installed one app
|
||||
only, for example). In this case, Odoo reviews your request and your website to avoid abuse.
|
||||
This process can take several days due to the success of the offer.
|
||||
- This is not available for Odoo.sh databases yet.
|
||||
- The offer is only available for **Odoo Online** databases.
|
||||
- The offer is limited to **one** domain name per client.
|
||||
- The offer is limited to the registration of a **new** domain name.
|
||||
- The offer is available to *One App Free* plans. Ensure that your website contains enough
|
||||
original content for Odoo to verify that your request is legitimate and respects `Odoo's
|
||||
Acceptable Use Policy <https://www.odoo.com/acceptable-use>`_. Given the high number of
|
||||
requests, it can take Odoo several days to review them.

|
||||
|
||||
To manage the DNS records of your domain name registered with Odoo or to visualize the contacts
|
||||
associated with it, open your `database manager <https://www.odoo.com/my/databases>`_, click on the
|
||||
:guilabel:`settings` button next to your database, on :guilabel:`Domain names`, and then on
|
||||
:guilabel:`Contacts` or :guilabel:`DNS`.
|
||||
To manage your free domain name :abbr:`DNS (domain name system)` records, open the `database manager
|
||||
<https://www.odoo.com/my/databases>`_, click the gear icon (:guilabel:`⚙️`) next to the database
|
||||
name, select :guilabel:`Domain Names`, and click :guilabel:`DNS`.

|
||||
- :guilabel:`A`: the A record holds the IP address of the domain. It is automatically created and
|

**cannot** be edited or deleted.
|
||||
- :guilabel:`CNAME`: CNAME records forward one domain or subdomain to another domain. One is
|
||||
automatically created to map the `www.` subdomain to the database. If the database is renamed, the
|
||||
CNAME record **must** also be renamed.
|
||||
- :guilabel:`MX`: MX records instruct servers on where to deliver emails.
|
||||
- :guilabel:`TXT`: TXT records can be used for different purposes (e.g., to verify domain name
|

Mailbox
|
||||
-------
|
||||
|
||||
The one-year free domain name offer does **not** include a mailbox. There are two options to link
|
||||
your domain name with a mailbox.
|
||||
|
||||
Use a subdomain
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
You can create a subdomain (e.g., `subdomain.yourdomain.com`) to use as an alias domain for the
|
||||
database. It allows users to create records in the database from emails received on their
|
||||
`email@subdomain.yourdomain.com` alias.
|
||||
|
||||
To do so, open the `database manager <https://www.odoo.com/my/databases>`_, click the gear icon
|
||||
(:guilabel:`⚙️`) next to the database name, and go to :menuselection:`Domain Names --> DNS --> Add
|
||||
DNS record --> CNAME`. Next, enter the desired subdomain in the :guilabel:`Name` field (e.g.,
|
||||
`subdomain`), the original database domain with a period at the end (e.g., `mycompany.odoo.com.`) in
|
||||
the :guilabel:`Content` field, and click :guilabel:`Add record`.
|
||||
|
||||
Then, add the alias domain as your *own domain* by clicking :guilabel:`Use my own domain`, entering
|
||||
the alias domain (e.g., `subdomain.yourdomain.com`), clicking :guilabel:`Verify`, and then
|
||||
:guilabel:`I confirm, it's done`.
|
||||
|
||||
Finally, go to your database and open the :guilabel:`Settings`. Under the :guilabel:`Alias Domain`
|
||||
field, enter the alias domain (e.g., `subdomain.yourdomain.com`), click :guilabel:`Create`, and then
|
||||
:guilabel:`Save`.
|
||||
|
||||
Use an external email provider
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
To use an external email provider, you should configure an MX record. To do so, open the `database
|
||||
manager <https://www.odoo.com/my/databases>`_, click the gear icon (:guilabel:`⚙️`) next to the
|
||||
database name, click :menuselection:`Domain Names --> DNS --> Add DNS record --> MX`. The values you
|
||||
should enter for the :guilabel:`Name`, :guilabel:`Content`, and :guilabel:`Priority` fields depend
|
||||
on the external email provider.

To avoid any issue with the :ref:`SSL certificate validation <domain-name/ssl>`, we highly recommend
|
||||
that you proceed with the following actions in this order:
|
||||
.. warning::
|
||||
It is strongly recommended to follow **in order** these three steps to avoid any :ref:`SSL
|
||||
certificate validation <domain-name/ssl>` issues:
|
||||
|
||||
#. :ref:`Add a CNAME record <domain-name/cname>` on your domain name's DNS zone.
|

#. :ref:`Map your domain name with your Odoo database <domain-name/db-map>`.
|
||||
#. :ref:`Map your domain name with your Odoo website <domain-name/website-map>`.
|

#. :ref:`Add a CNAME record <domain-name/cname>`
|
||||
#. :ref:`Map your domain name to your Odoo database <domain-name/db-map>`

|
||||
.. _domain-name/cname:
|
||||
|
||||
Add a CNAME record
|
||||
------------------
|
||||
|
||||
A **CNAME record** is a type of DNS record that points to the domain of another website rather than
|
||||
directly to an IP address.
|
||||
|
||||
You need a CNAME record that points to your Odoo database. The requirements are detailed in your
|
||||
database manager.
|
||||
Creating a CNAME record to forward your domain name to the address of your Odoo database is
|
||||
required.
|
||||
|
||||
.. tabs::
|
||||
|
||||
.. group-tab:: Odoo Online
|
||||
|
||||
The target address is the current address of your database, as defined at its creation (e.g.,
|
||||
``example.odoo.com``)
|
||||
The CNAME record's target address should be your database's address as defined at its creation
|
||||
(e.g., `mycompany.odoo.com`).
|
||||
|
||||
.. group-tab:: Odoo.sh
|
||||
|
||||
Your project's main address is defined in :menuselection:`Settings --> Project Name`.
|
||||
The CNAME record's target address can be the project's main address, which can be found on
|
||||
Odoo.sh by going to :menuselection:`Settings --> Project Name`, or a specific branch
|
||||
(production, staging or development) by going to :menuselection:`Branches --> select the
|
||||
branch --> Settings --> Custom domains`, and clicking :guilabel:`How to set up my domain?`. A
|
||||
message indicates which address your CNAME record should target.
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to target a specific branch (production, staging or development), go to
|
||||
:menuselection:`Branches --> select your branch --> Settings --> Custom domains`, and click on
|
||||
:guilabel:`How to set up my domain?`. A message indicates which address your CNAME record
|
||||
should target.
|
||||
The specific instructions depend on your DNS hosting service.
|
||||
|
||||
#. Open your domain name's manager dashboard.
|
||||
#. Open the **DNS zone** management page for the domain name you want to configure.
|
||||
#. Create a **CNAME record** pointing to the address of your database.

|

|

While Odoo suggests creating a CNAME record for your ``www.`` subdomain (``www.example.com``), you
|
||||
can of course use any domain name of your choice, with any subdomain (e.g.,
|
||||
``anything.example.com``).
|
||||
Creating a CNAME record to map the `www` subdomain (`www.yourdomain.com`) as some visitors are used
|
||||
to typing `www.` before entering a domain name.
|
||||
|
||||
.. example::
|
||||
You own the domain name ``example.com``, and you have an Odoo Online database at the address
|
||||
``example.odoo.com``. You want to access your Odoo database primarily with the domain
|
||||
``www.example.com`` but also with the :ref:`naked domain <domain-name/naked-domain>`
|
||||
``example.com``.
|
||||
You own the domain name `yourdomain.com`, and your Odoo Online database's address is
|
||||
`mycompany.odoo.com`. You want to access your Odoo database primarily with the domain
|
||||
`www.yourdomain.com` but also with the naked domain :dfn:`(a domain name without any subdomains
|
||||
or prefixes)` `yourdomain.com`.
|
||||
|
||||
To do so, you create a CNAME record for the ``www`` subdomain, with ``example.odoo.com`` as the
|
||||
target. The DNS zone manager generates the following rule and adds it to your DNS zone: ``www IN
|
||||
CNAME example.odoo.com.``
|
||||
|
||||
You also create a redirection from ``example.com`` to ``wwww.example.com``.
|
||||
|
||||
Your new DNS records are propagated to all DNS servers.
|
||||
|
||||

.. _domain-name/naked-domain:
|
||||
|
||||
Naked domain
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
A **naked domain** is a domain name that doesn't have any subdomain at the beginning of the address
|
||||
(e.g., ``odoo.com`` instead of ``www.odoo.com``).
|
||||
|
||||
You may want your naked domain to redirect to your website as some visitors may not type the full
|
||||
domain name to access your website.
|
||||
|
||||
#. Open your domain name's manager dashboard.
|
||||
#. Create a **redirection** from the naked domain (``example.com``) to your main domain name
|
||||
(``www.example.com``).
|
||||
|
||||
.. note::
|
||||
Depending on your domain name registrar, this redirection may be already pre-configured.
|
||||
To do so, create a CNAME record for the `www` subdomain, with `mycompany.odoo.com` as the
|
||||
target. Next, create a redirect (301 permanent or visible redirect) to redirect visitors from
|
||||
`yourdomain.com` to `wwww.yourdomain.com`.

.. warning::
|

Ensure you have :ref:`added a CNAME record <domain-name/cname>` to your domain name's DNS
|
||||
**before** mapping your domain name to your Odoo database.
|
||||
|
||||
Failing to do so may prevent the validation of the :ref:`SSL certificate <domain-name/ssl>` and
|

could result in a *certificate name mismatch* error. Web browsers often display this as a
|
||||
warning, such as *"Your connection is not private"*.

.. warning::
|

Connecting to your database with the original Odoo subdomain address (e.g., ``example.odoo.com``
|
||||
also updates the web base URL of your database. See below to prevent these automatic updates.
|
||||
|
||||
Alternatively, you can do it manually. To do so, activate the :ref:`developer mode
|
||||
<developer-mode>`, then go to :menuselection:`Settings --> Technical --> System Parameters`.
|
||||
|
||||
Find the key called ``web.base.url`` (or create it if it does not exist) and enter the full address
|

of your website as value, such as ``https://www.example.com``.
|
||||
If you access your database with the original Odoo address (e.g., `mycompany.odoo.com`), the *web

and enter `web.base.url.freeze` as the :guilabel:`Key` and `True` as the :guilabel:`Value`.
|

|

.. note::
|

The URL must include the protocol ``https://`` (or ``http://``) and must not end with a slash

search for the `web.base.url` key (create it if necessary) and enter the full address of your

|

Mapping your domain name to your website isn't the same as mapping it with your database:
|
||||
Mapping your domain name to your website is different than mapping it to your database:
|
||||
|
||||
- It defines your domain name as the main one for your website, helping search engines to index your
|
||||
website properly.
|
||||
- It defines your domain name as the base URL for your database, including the portal links sent by
|
||||
website correctly.
|
||||
- It defines your domain name as the base URL for your database, including portal links sent by
|
||||
email to your customers.
|

- If you have multiple websites, it maps your domain name with the appropriate website.

|
||||

||||
In the :guilabel:`Domain` field, fill in the web address of your website (e.g.,

the one you want to configure. In the :guilabel:`Domain` field, enter the address of your website
|
||||
(e.g., `https://www.yourdomain.com`) and :guilabel:`Save`.
|
||||
|

.. warning::
|
||||
Mapping your domain name with your Odoo website prevents Google from indexing both your custom
|
||||
domain name ``www.example.com`` and your original odoo database address ``example.odoo.com``.
|
||||
Mapping your domain name to your Odoo website prevents Google Search from indexing your original
|
||||
database address (e.g., `mycompany.odoo.com`).
|
||||
|
||||
If both addresses are already indexed, it may take some time before Google removes the indexation
|
||||
of the second address. You may also try using the `Google Search Console
|
||||
<https://search.google.com/search-console>`_ to fix this.
