How to add an additional domain name for your Odoo instance? (multi-website)

If you want to display several websites on your Odoo instance (multi-website), you can add an additional domain name to your Odoo instance. You can do so through the Cloudpepper dashboard. However, before saving, you must ensure that your DNS settings are correct; otherwise, the SSL certificate may not generate properly.

Steps to Add an Additional Domain Name

1. Open your instance on your Cloudpepper dashboard.
2. Go to the domain name settings (click the ⚙️ settings cog icon next to your domain name).
3. Click Add additional domain name and enter your new domain in the provided field.
4. Before saving, verify that your DNS settings are correct:
   • The new domain should have a single A record pointing to your server’s IP address.
   • There should be no conflicting CNAME or AAAA records for the same domain.
   • You can check your DNS settings using https://www.nslookup.io/.
5. Click Save to apply the changes and generate an SSL certificate for the new domain.

⚠️ If the DNS is not correctly set, the SSL certificate will not generate properly, and the domain may not work.

Add the Domain in Odoo

After adding the domain to Cloudpepper, you need to configure it in Odoo:

1. Log into your Odoo backend.
2. Go to Website Settings ( Website ➝ Configuration ➝ Websites).
3. Add a new website or update the existing one to include the new domain.
4. Save the changes and test accessing Odoo using the new domain.

Once these steps are completed, your Odoo instance will be accessible via the new domain name. 🚀
