Custom Domain for Your Map

You can easily publish your Wolf Maps map on your own root domain or subdomain. By default your map runs on wolfmaps.com/kaart/yourmap, but you can also make it available on for example www.yourmap.com or yourmap.domain.com.

Setting up your own domain takes three steps:

1. Choose the root domain or subdomain where you want to show the map.
2. Update the DNS settings of that domain using the instructions below.
3. Send an email to hello@wolfmaps.com with the domain where DNS is configured. We then activate the map for you.

Configure DNS

Depending on whether you use a root domain or a subdomain, the setup differs slightly. Follow the correct option below.

Subdomain (yourmap.domain.com)

1. Open your domain management panel (for example at your hosting provider).
2. Go to DNS settings or DNS management.
3. Add a CNAME record:
   • Name/Host: the subdomain you want to use
   • Value/Target: cdn.wolfmaps.com
4. Save changes.

Root domain (www.yourmap.com)

There are two options, depending on your provider support:

Option A: ALIAS record available (best option)

1. Add an ALIAS record for the root domain (@) pointing to cdn.wolfmaps.com.
2. Add a CNAME record for www also pointing to cdn.wolfmaps.com.

Option B: A record only

1. Add an A record for the root domain (@) with IP address: 116.203.4.133.
2. Add a CNAME record for www pointing to your root domain (@). This is often done automatically.

If you get stuck, ask your hosting provider for DNS support.
