Your unique Force Platform domain, which hosts your site, is constructed from the unique domain prefix that you register, plus force.com. For example, if you choose “mycompany” as your domain prefix, your domain name would be http:/www.mycompany.force.com.
Note
The construction of the secure URLs for your Force Platform sites depends on the type of organization they are built on. In the following examples, the domain prefix is “mycompany,” the sandbox name is “mysandbox,” the instance name is “na1,” and the sandbox instance name is “cs1”:
The domain prefix for Developer Edition must contain 22 characters or fewer. The secure URL is displayed on the Login Settings page. |
To get started, register your company’s Force Platform domain by doing the following:
1. | Click Setup
Develop
Sites. |
2. | |
3. | Click Check Availability to confirm that the domain name you entered is unique. If it is not unique, you are prompted to change it. |
4. | Read and accept the Force Platform Sites Terms and Use by selecting the checkbox. |
5. |
Congratulations! You are now ready to create your first Force Platform site. On the Sites page, do the following:
1. | Click New. | ||
2. | On the Site Edit page, enter the Site Label and Site Name (the API name). Select the UnderConstruction page for the Active Site Home Page and the InMaintenance page for the Inactive Site Home Page. Leave your site inactive for now. Note
| ||
3. | Click Save. |
Your site is inactive, so when you open your site URL in a browser, you will see the InMaintenance page, as expected. Now activate your site by clicking Activate on the Site Details page. Browse to your site again. You will see the UnderConstruction page, the home page you set for your site when it’s active. If users go to your site, they will see the UnderConstruction page until you replace the Active Site Home Page with the actual pages for your site, which you are ready to create in Visualforce.
