Did you know we offer custom domains for auction events? This means that instead of our Qgiv URLs, your organization can use its own domains while we still host your site. See the example below for what the end result will look like.
Current: https://secure.qgiv.com/event/eventID
With custom domain: https://Campaigns.OrganizationExample.com/event/eventID
You can also set up custom URLs for peer-to-peer events and for Qgiv online donation forms if you prefer not to embed donation forms directly on your website.
We’ll take care of setting up the security certificate (https://). You’re still responsible for a few things in order for the custom domain to be set up. You’ll need to:
- Let Customer Experience know you’re interested in moving forward with a custom domain so we can provide the associated costs.
- Set up the subdomain (Campaigns.OrganizationExample.com).
- Ensure you add a DNS CNAME record to customdomain.qgiv.com and inform Customer Experience that the record is in place.
Once those steps are complete, Qgiv will generate the security certificate and configure it on our servers. As soon as it’s in place and we’ve tested it, we’ll let you know you’re ready to go. The whole process generally takes about 3-5 days.
The cost for a custom domain through Qgiv is $200 annually.
If you have any questions on setting up a custom domain for your auction event, you can give us a call at 888.855.9595 or send us an email at support@qgiv.com to discuss the details!
