Configure a custom domain

You can personalise the web address of your program by using a subdomain of your own domain name instead of a Good Grants domain. This step will hide the domain grantplatform.com from the URL. For example, you could have apply.your-company-domain.com instead of apply.grantplatform.com.

To do this, complete the following steps:

1. Go to Settings > General > Account
2. Click the Edit link next to Account domain name
   
3. On the next screen you will see a URL under the heading "Custom domain". This URL will vary depending on your program's region.
   
4. Copy the URL for your region and then create a CNAME record in the DNS Settings where your domain is registered, pointing it to the URL for your region
   • au.cr4ce.com
   • us.cr4ce.com
   • eu.cr4ce.com
     Instructions for this will vary depending on who your domain registrar is. Here are some links to support documentation for popular domain providers:
     • GoDaddy
     • Crazy Domains
     • Bluehost
     • Squarespace 
5. Once you've added the CNAME record for your domain, you can type the domain into the Custom domain field in Good Grants
   
   
6. Click Save when finished

It may take a few minutes for the SSL certificate to activate with the new domain but this process is automatic and no action is required on your part.

Once you have confirmed that your custom domain is correctly configured and displays your Good Grants account, you may wish to go back to the domain configuration page and switch Redirect to ON. This step will ensure that anybody visiting your default Vanity domain is redirected to your preferred Custom domain.
