Default and Host Mapped Domains

Central provides a default domain that you can use, and it is displayed in gray text on the URLs page view. You also have the option of adding your own host mapped domains, as many as you need.

Default Central Domain The default Central URL begins with your license (e.g., company) name, which is the subdomain. This is followed by a period, then “mcoutput.com,” which is Central’s root domain. When these are combined, you have the full URL.
Example
Copy
```
 https://fictionsoft.mcoutput.com
```
After you generate a target and set the associated site to “live,” an ID is auto-generated to represent the target and build, and this is added to the URL, along with the entry file for the output (e.g., Default.htm).
Example
Copy
```
 https://fictionsoft.mcoutput.com/64951/Default.htm
```
However, you can add a vanity to the site (see Setting Site Vanities). The vanity will be used in place of the auto-generated ID, making the output easier to identify.
Example
Copy
```
https://fictionsoft.mcoutput.com/module1-v1/Default.htm
```
Host Mapped Domains If you prefer end users to see your company’s domain instead of Central’s (“mcoutput.com”), you can create a CNAME (Canonical Name) to map to your own host domain.
Example
Copy
```

A full URL for a host mapped domain might be something like the following (we've included a site vanity):
