Own URL for customers/environment
It’s possible to create an own URL for Workspace 365. Below are a few key points one needs to check.
Own instance
If one hosts workspace 365 themselves, then one already has their own URL.
Environment via Partner
- Does the hoster want this?
- Every instance will have to be managed and updated separately.
- Environment Name Duplication (environments that already exist, can’t be created again, e.g. a demo environment). One can only prevent this by hosting multiple instances. It’s possible to add a new website.
- Emails that are sent from Workspace 365 are from the original address/the instance’s domain.
Environment via Odin
When Workspace 365 isn’t hosted by oneself, but by a third party, e.g. Odin, there are a few key points one needs to check.
- Does the hoster/partner want this?
- Every instance will have to be managed and updated separately.
- Environment Name Duplication (environments that already exist, can’t be created again, e.g. a demo environment). One can only prevent this by hosting multiple instances. It’s possible to add a new website.
- When a customer adds a user via Odin and they have their own URL/instance, how does the user license end up at the instance concerned?
- Emails that are sent from Workspace 365 are from the original address/the instance’s domain.
- When a customer adds a user via Odin and they have their own URL/instance, how does the invoicing go?
It’s possible to use a CNAME if it’s customer specific. For this the customer will be redirected to the correct environment. However, the customer will see the original URL in the address bar.
