Domain Name Customization
|
|
|
|
|
|
Domain name customization is an optional service for existing
siteLevel Pro customers and is available for an additional one-time fee. If you have
purchased this service, you may customize the search results page URL by following the steps
below:
|
| 1. |
|
Using the HTML search box code, change the ACTION parameter in the <FORM> tag to your desired
custom hostname. By
default, this is "www.sitelevel.com". However you should change this to a custom hostname such as
"search.yourdomain.com".
|
|
|
|
| 2. |
|
Update your search results templates in the Advanced Template Editor. You also have to make sure
that the search form on your results page is has the new ACTION URL.
|
|
|
|
| 3. |
|
Add the DNS record for your new hostname. If you are not familiar with DNS administration, please
provide these directions to your system/network administrator.
To continue our example, let's say your new desired hostname for search results is "search.yourdomain.com".
This new hostname has to be a CNAME (alias) record for the following hostname: "query.sitelevel.com"
It is important that you do not try to point "search.yourdomain.com" to any other hostname or IP address.
As an example, in BIND v8, your db.yourdomain.com file would contain a line that looks like this:
search CNAME query.sitelevel.com
