For example, the following websites all use their own corporate domain names: * [https://nii.school/](https://nii.school/) * [https://course.lens-content.com/](https://course.lens-content.com/) * [https://lifehack.raymondhouch.com/](https://lifehack.raymondhouch.com/) There are two types of domain configurations you can use. The first is to directly bind your purchased domain to Teachify, while the second is to create a "subdomain," which means adding an English word in front of your purchased primary domain. Creating a subdomain is also very simple. After purchasing a domain, you can usually set it up on the website where you bought it. Therefore, the most common configurations after purchasing a domain (using the Teachify domain name as an example) are as follows: * teachify.tw as the main official website * [ **blog**.teachify.tw](https://blog.teachify.tw/) as the official blog * [www.teachify.tw](http://www.teachify.tw) is a type of domain name commonly used for official websites that starts with www, but because it has www in front, it is also considered a subdomain setting. In this example, teachify.tw is the **primary domain**, and blog and www are **subdomains**. Subdomains can be any English word, with the most common ones being **school**, **course**, and **academy**. We have also seen more creative subdomains, such as **vip**, **learn**, and **content**. ## Benefits of using a custom domain 1. High brand recognition; 2. Traffic accumulates on the same main domain; 3. It's easier to integrate with cross-domain tracking or future extensions. ## How to set up a custom domain in the Teachify backend ![](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/31e42744710f7a0/how-to-setup-a-custom-domain_1fdsmhb.png) Please follow the tutorial below to set up a custom domain in the "General Settings" -> "Custom Domain Name" section of the dashboard. ## Configuration tutorials for common domain management systems **Using a subdomain** If you want to use a domain format like **blog**.teachify.tw or **www**.teachify.tw, please refer to the instructions for "Using a Subdomain." **Using a main domain** If you want to use a domain format like teachify.tw (i.e., the purchased domain without a subdomain), please refer to the instructions for "Using a Main Domain."
