I am a programmer/developer. I plan to use discourse solely for my small development team. I want to use discourse as “repository for re-usable code”. Is this a usual use case? Regarding the subject of this post: I am working on high restriction facility. That said, I do not have access to my code repository at evernote, as the website is block. I created a trial account on discourse. I see that my url xyz.discourse.group is still block from the facility. Hoping if I migrate to my own domain, my discourse forum won’t be block. I have my own website using my own domain. Can I use this on trial? How do you set this up?

The whois record suggests that you need to make changes at wix. See Network Tools: DNS,IP,Email And that no record exists See Network Tools: DNS,IP,Email

Welcome to Meta! :hugs: Use the standard install. This Topic may be of interest too: [image] I want to install it on the corporate intranet, but I cannot use domain. Can I use IP + port？ Self-hosting This is the way @Aaron_Pang. I have installed and ran a large instance for the whole company using only an internal DNS hostname and certificates from our internal PKI, and it works very well. In my case the server didn’t even had access to the internet.

But I do no want to install it on my server… I want to host it on Discourse, and maintained by Discourse Staff - this is why you pay the monthly fees right? – I do not have the time and skills to maintain discourse and the server.

Great! That’s possible too, but you will need to have the appropriate internet access.

Yes. I am a contractor on the said Restricted Facility. I have access to internet and forums (eg discourse community).. But not storage sites like dropbox, google drive, or evernote. Hopping I could change this: xyz.discourse.group to something else (eg. forum.myDomain.com) How do I do this?

[image] Configure your domain name for hosted Discourse Hosted Customers bookmark This guide explains how to change the domain name of your Discourse-hosted site, whether you want to switch to a different discourse.group address or configure a custom domain you own. person_raising_hand Required user level: Administrator Every site hosted by Discourse receives an address in the discourse.group domain when it’s created (for example, mycommunity.discourse.group). You can change the domain name of your site at any time from the Manage account page in the admin …

Thank you for fast response. This is what I need. I need to remember though where why supplied my domain. Edit: I purchased and manage my domain from Google Suite

Quick help please. When changing domain name on Discourse admin setting: New Domain: forum.mpx-transform.com it returned error: forum.mpx-transform.com does not resolve to a CNAME. It needs to be a CNAME to mpx.hosted-by-discourse.com Below is the configuration I made on SquareSpace (my domain provider) Host = forum Type = CNAME Data = mpx.hosted-by-discourse.com Where did I go wrong? Thank you.

Thank you. I will try that.. Funny. I bought the domain from google, google got it from squarespace, and wix (my website provider) manage the dns record. Hope this work this time.

It’s very confusing even without Google selling their domain business to squarespace. But you told wix (and announced to the world) that you want them in charge of your DNS, so the Google to squarespace thing didn’t change anything.

Admin setting returned success now. Now I wait. Probably I told that to wix. This is one time setup and forget kind of things for me. Thanks for the help.
