Editor's Notes
- Hello My name is Thomas, I’m a functionnal consultant at Odoo. Welcome in this talk : manage your own domain name with Odoo Don’t forget that you can ask your question on the chatter and I will answer them after the presentation.
- In this talk we are going to talk about website and domain name. We will answer a few questions about domain name. I will explain why should you use your own domain name for your website and we will see how you can practically do that with Odoo.
- This talk mainly concerns the website module but a domain name can also be register for a database without having a the website module installed. Having said that, let’s talk about domain name.
- What exactly is a domain name and how does it work?
- If I want to answer the question “what is a domain name” I firstly need to explain what is the domain name system or also called DNS. Anything connected to the internet (mobile phone, laptop, websites) has an IP address which is made up of numbers. Any website on the internet has an IP address. However, when we connect to a website, we never connect to this website by typing in its IP address. Instead, we use a domain name. For instance 178.33.40.43 is the IP address of odoo.com. The IP address doesn’t represent anything for us humans. On the opposite Odoo.com does mean something and it’s easy to remember. So the domain name system is the translation of IP address into words that we can understand. We can define the domain name as a unique name that identifies resources on the internet. Simply put ; The domain name is the name of your website. A domain name is unique and must be registered before using it. Two websites cannot share the same domain domain.
- How do you register your own domain name with Odoo. What do we offer ?
- Until now, the saas and sh version came with a default free subdomain of odoo.com which was “name_of_the_database.odoo.com”. It works great but you still had to purchase and manage your DNS externally if you wanted to use a custom domain name. From now on, you still receive a default subdomain of odoo.com but we also offer a free registration of a custom domain name for every Odoo subscription. You will be able to choose a custom domain name for your database and website with every Odoo subscription. This feature will be available for all odoo databases with a valid subscription and regardless of the version.
- This new feature is great. But I haven’t explained why. So what are the benefits of a custom domain vs a generic subdomain ? There are many reasons to buying a custom domain :
- SEO The first reason is SEO is the search engine optimization of your website. It’s stands for search engine optimization. It’s how well your rank on a search engine result page such as Google. If you’ve got a free domain name, such as yourdatabase.odoo.com, yes it is possible to rank high in search engines but it’s going to be more difficult. If you have your own domain name, it is unique, it is yours and you have more probability to rank high on search engines. Credibility The second reason is Credibility. Again you can use free subdomain name but if you want to show credibility to your audience, you need to have your own custom domain name. It makes your website looks more professional and inspire confidence in potential customer. Branding The third reason is branding. If you are using a free sub domain name. You have got another company brand on your website name, in this case is odoo. If you have a custom domain name, it is yours and you don’t have to share space with another brand. Also, All URLs pointing to your website and pages shared on the internet will improve your brand awareness and visibility. Traffic The next reason is to improve the traffic on your. Compare to a generic subdomain, an easy to type and easy to remember domain name will make it way easier for potential visitors to find the website Type in the URL Share with friends and family Email addresses The fifth reason is having a professional email address. If you use a free domain name you will not be able to have a professional custom email address. If you have a custom domain name, you can create as many email addresses as you want.
- The next question to ask yourself is how to choose a good domain name?
- If you already have a brand and are building a website for that brand, your domain name should probably be the same as your brand in order to not confuse any potential visitor. Otherwise, if you are starting a new project or a new brand then you can choose a new domain name, this domain name should be : Easy to remember, Easy to spell Short It has to be shorter than 10 characters The goal is to have a website that people can easily remember and share with each other. If they misspell or forget it, they won’t be able to come back. Choose the right extension This is the part that comes at the end of the web address. The most common are .com, .org, .net. But there are a lot of them. It is used to indicate the purpose of your website. It also shapes the expectations of customers about what they expect to find on your website A .com for instance will probably be a commercial website and a .org will be a non profit association.
