Custom Domain Landing Page Display

If you have a custom publishing domain purchased and setup on your account you will be able to configure what curious end users will see if they try the base domain without the additional issue/title information appended at the end of the URL

example:

• If an issue link is digital.yourcustomdomain. com/issue/123456 , the end user may try to access digital.yourcustomdomain. com which I will refer to as the "base domain"

By default the user will be brought to a landing page but if you do not want this to happen you have some more options for defining the behavior of your base domain.

Custom Domain Configuration Access

To access the custom domain configuration page:

• Click on My Account, then Custom Domains in the left side menu
• Click on the "configure" link to the right of any active custom domains on your account

Configuring Your Custom Domain

Once you arrive at the custom domain configuration screen, you can choose the following behaviors from the "select your preferred behavior" dropdown menu:

1. Default Landing Page:  This is the setting that will be active when your domain first gets set up.  See this article for more information
2. Redirect to Title:  Direct users to the most recent publication of a title, based on pub date.  Just choose from your available titles from a dropdown menu
3. Redirect to custom URL: Direct users to the website URL of your choice (could be your main website for example OR a custom page you build and host using our API!)
4. Display an error message:  Message will be displayed asking user to check the URL they typed

Once you make your choice, click Save button to update your custom domain behavior (all changes are live!) OR you can cancel by clicking the "close" link.
