CNAME Setup: HostGator

1) Set Up the CNAME on the MoFuse Platform

  • Log into your MoFuse account, and open the site you wish to configure a custom domain name for.
  • Click on the  'Site Settings' icon to navigate to the site settings configuration page.
  • Click on the 'Custom Domain Settings' link found in the upper right hand corner.
  • Enter in the desired custom domain name, then click 'Update'

NOTE: The recommended naming format is <subdomain>.<domain name> with 'm' used as the standard mobile subdomain convention (e.g. m.mofuse.com, or,  m.example.org). This is not a requirement however and alternate naming conventions can be used.

2) Configure the CNAME on HostGator.com

  • Log into your HostGator cPanel control panel.
  • Under 'Domains', click on the 'Simple DNS Zone Editor'.
  • For Name: Enter in the subdomain that you configured on the MoFuse platform (e.g. m)
  • For CNAME: Enter mofusehosted.com
  • Click 'Add CNAME Record'
