After you activate your publisher subscription plan with SeattleClouds you get access to Publisher Dashboard. Use Publisher Dashboard to configure your publisher website and customize your white label website settings and configuration.
1. Account Settings
This section provides a set of basic configuration setting for your publisher website. These settings will apply to your website and previewer apps.
a) Website configuration
Hostname, Publisher ID - can be only modified once, when you first configure your publisher account and can not be changed later on. Host name is the real domain name without www prefix.
You can configure a domain name or a subdomain name. If you configure a primary domain name, you need to point your Registrar (ex: GoDaddy) domain setting to our nameservers which are:
- NS1.MOBIBLOCKS.COM
- NS2.MOBIBLOCKS.COM
If you configure a subdomain, you need to add a DNS A record for your subdomain to point to our IP:
184.172.164.218
Brand Name is the name of your white labeled product which will replace SeattleClouds brand name everywhere on your website and previewer apps.
