HostGator: Setting up a White label domain
To connect a custom white-label domain via HostGator, you’ll need to add a CNAME record pointing your subdomain to ContentStudio. This allows your branded URL to correctly route to ContentStudio’s white-label service. Follow the steps below to set it up in your HostGator account.

FAQ's
Q1: Do I need a specific subdomain name?
No, you can choose any subdomain (e.g., track.yourdomain.com ). Just make sure it matches the Name field when adding the CNAME record.
Q2: What CNAME value should I enter?
Enter: whitelabel.contentstudio.io in the Target/Value field. Double-check for typos to ensure the white-label domain works correctly.
Q3: How long does it take for changes to propagate?
DNS propagation may take a few minutes up to 24–48 hours, depending on HostGator’s DNS refresh cycle.
Q4: What if my white-label domain doesn’t work after setup?
Make sure the CNAME record is correctly added and that there are no conflicting records for the same subdomain. If the issue persists, contact ContentStudio support for help.
