# Using Your Own Domain - Vanity URL

OPSCOM supports the use of vanity URLs to keep your branding consistent for all your clients. This is a simple process. Not all service levels include this option and there could be fees associated with the setup.

Please contact your Sales Representative for more information at <u><sales@ops-com.comcom></u>.

## Purchase Your Domain

We can work with any legal and registered domain that you own or have control over. Most clients will already have a domain they wish to use. Setup is quite simple and involves pointing a **subdomain** at our server. The resulting subdomain URL will be the final URL you will give to your clients.

Domains and subdomains cannot have spaces, are limited in size and are case-insensitive.

Example of a registered domain: **<span class="legacy-color-text-blue4">yourdomain.com</span>**

<span data-colorid="qbwqrtvwb3">Example of an OPSCOM service subdomain: </span> **parking.<span class="legacy-color-text-blue4">yourdomain.com</span>**

<span class="legacy-color-text-blue4">*\* subdomain can be any combination of A-Z, 0-9, and hyphen ,* </span><span class="legacy-color-text-blue4">*\* domains and subdomains are not case-sensitive*</span>
