Changing the URLs of your SuperSite 2 and PartnerSite

Answerable.com provides you with Partially Branded URLs for your SuperSite 2 and PartnerSite. You may choose them as your SuperSite 2 and PartnerSite URLs to display and sell your Products and Services. Alternatively, you can maintain complete anonymity from Answerable.com, by setting up a Fully Branded URL.

Partially Branded URLs

By default, you have a Partially Branded URL of the form:

• Customer Control Panel - https://<prefix>.myorderbox.com/customer

• Reseller Control Panel - https://<prefix>.myorderbox.com/reseller

• SuperSite 2 - https://<prefix>.supersite2.myorderbox.com

• PartnerSite - https://<prefix>.partnersite.myorderbox.com

Now, you can select the prefix of your choice. Ideally it should be your Company Name or your Brand Name. You would then have to submit your selected prefix from your Control Panel. Follow the process outlined below to change the prefix:

1. Login to your Reseller Control Panel. See details

2. In the Menu, point to Settings and then click Branding Settings.

3. Click the Branded URL Prefix tab.

4. Here, you need to enter your desired prefix and click the Update button. On submitting the same, the prefix would be assigned to you, and would be common to all your Partially Branded URLs, i.e. SuperSite 2 URL, PartnerSite URL and Control Panel URLs.

Fully Branded URLs

Besides Partially Branded URLs, you can point your own URLs to our servers and use those as your Fully Branded URLs. Answerable.com allows you to have as many Fully Branded URLs as you wish; however, you would have to create the relevant DNS Record for each of the URL you select.

  If you wish to set your Fully Branded SuperSite 2 URL as https://shop.mybrandname.com, you need to create an A record for shop.mybrandname.com to point to 72.22.93.2. The A record would be:

  shop.mybrandname.com   IN A  72.22.93.2

  Note

  72.22.93.2 is the actual IP address to which the A record for the Fully Branded SuperSite 2 URL needs to be mapped.
