In this video, we’ll look at the different domain options available in HeySummit. We’ll cover how to use the default HeySummit subdomain, customize the subdomain, or set up a custom domain for a more branded experience. We’ll also walk through the DNS setup process for linking a custom domain, including adding CNAME and TXT records.
Key Takeaways
- HeySummit assigns a default subdomain for each event, which works out of the box without extra setup.
- You can customize your HeySummit subdomain to make it more brand-aligned, as long as it is unique.
- A custom domain allows you to use your own web address, but it must be a subdomain (e.g., event.mydomain.com).
- Setting up a custom domain requires modifying DNS records, including adding CNAME and TXT entries.
- DNS changes can take up to 48 hours to propagate, and support is available if verification issues arise.
