How do I set up a subdomain for my bidding platform?

As part of our white-label offerings, we can assist you with setting up your bidding platform on a subdomain of your company's primary domain and remove "bidwrangler" from your bidding platform URL.

We are using "bidwrangler-client" in the following examples; however, your company domain will be used for the actual setup.

So, instead of https://bidwrangler-client.bidwrangler.com, your bidding platform could live at https://bid.bidwrangler-client.com or https://auctions.bidwrangler-client.com.

For this example, we will be setting up bid.bidwrangler-client.com.

1. Record Name:bid.bidwrangler-client.com.

   1. Sometimes referred to or labeled as "Hostname," "Name," or "Prefix"

   2. Some DNS providers may only require the subdomain value, in this case bid

2. Record Type:CNAME

3. Record Value:bidwrangler-client.bidwrangler.com.

   1. Sometimes referred to or labeled as "Value," "Route," or "Pointer"

4. TTL:300or the lowest value allowed by your DNS provider

   1. "TTL" or "Time to Live"

If your DNS manager can import records, you can use the following snippet to create the record:

bid.bidwrangler-client.com. 300 IN CNAME bidwrangler-client.bidwrangler.com.

Be sure to replace "bidwrangler-client" with the client's domain name.
