Nomi di dominio

Domain names serve as easily recognizable labels for online locations such as websites, translating difficult-to-remember numerical IP addresses into readable, memorable web addresses.

Odoo Online and Odoo.sh databases use a subdomain of the odoo.com domain by default (e.g., mycompany.odoo.com).

However, you can register a free domain name on Odoo Online or use a domain name you own.

Register a free domain name

To register a one-year free domain name for an Odoo Online database:

  1. Open the database manager.

  2. Click the database name and select Domain Names.

  3. Cerca il nome di dominio che più ti piace e verificane la disponibilità.

  4. Select the desired domain name, fill in the Domain Owner form, and click Register. The domain name is directly linked to the database.

    Importante

    A verification email from noreply@domainnameverification.net will be sent to the email address provided. Verifying the email address is necessary to keep the domain active and receive the renewal quote before expiration.

  5. Finally, map the domain name to your Odoo website.

Termini e condizioni

The domain name registration is free for the first year. After this period, Odoo will continue to manage the domain in partnership with Gandi.net, the domain name registrar, and you will be charged Gandi.net’s renewal rate. Odoo sends a renewal quotation every year to the email address specified in the Domain Owner form several weeks before the domain’s expiration date. The domain is renewed automatically when the quotation is confirmed.

  • L’offerta è disponibile solo per database Odoo Online.

  • The offer is limited to one domain name per client.

  • The offer is limited to the registration of a new domain name.

  • The offer is available to One App Free plans. Ensure your website contains sufficient original content for Odoo to verify that your request is legitimate and in compliance with Odoo’s Acceptable Use Policy. Given the high number of requests, it can take Odoo several days to review them.

Configurare un nome di dominio esistente

If you already own a domain name, you can use it for your Odoo website.

Avvertimento

To avoid potential SSL certificate validation issues, it is strongly recommended to follow these steps in the specified order:

  1. If you are transferring your website, set up URL redirections before transferring the domain name to preserve the website’s SEO.

  2. Add a CNAME record.

  3. Redirect your naked domain name (this step is optional but recommended).

  4. Map your domain name to your Odoo database.

  5. Map your domain name to your Odoo website.

Aggiungere un record CNAME

È necessario aggiungere un record CNAME per trasferire il nome di dominio all’indirizzo del database Odoo.

L’indirizzo di destinazione del record CNAME deve essere l’indirizzo del database indicato durante la creazione (ad es., mycompany.odoo.com).

Le istruzioni specifiche dipendono dal servizio di hosting DNS.

Redirect a naked domain

Nota

Although optional, completing this step is advised.

To let visitors use your naked domain name (a domain name without any subdomains or prefixes) (yourdomain.com), creating a 301 redirect (a permanent redirect from one URL to another) to www.yourdomain.com is required:

  • from http://yourdomain.com to https://www.yourdomain.com, and

  • from https://yourdomain.com to https://www.yourdomain.com.

The specific instructions depend on your DNS hosting service. However, not all of them offer to redirect a naked domain to HTTPS. If you encounter any issues, we recommend using Cloudflare.

Using Cloudflare to secure and redirect a naked domain

  1. Sign up and log in to Cloudflare.

  2. Enter your domain name on Cloudflare’s dashboard and select Quick scan for DNS records.

  3. Choose a plan (the free plan is sufficient).

  4. Follow Cloudflare’s instructions and recommendations to complete the activation.

  5. Add a CNAME record to redirect your naked domain (yourdomain.com) to the www subdomain (e.g., www.yourdomain.com) by clicking DNS in the navigation menu, then clicking the Add record button, and using the following configuration:

    • Type: select CNAME.

    • Name: enter @ (or yourdomain.com).

    • Target: enter www. + yourdomain.com, e.g., www.yourdomain.com.

    • Proxy status: toggle the option on (Proxied).

    • fai clic su Salva.

  6. Add another second CNAME record to redirect the www subdomain (e.g., www.yourdomain.com) to your database address (e.g., mycompany.odoo.com) using the following configuration:

    • Type: select CNAME.

    • Name: enter www. followed by your domain name, e.g., www.yourdomain.com.

    • Target: enter your database’s address as defined at its creation e.g., mycompany.odoo.com

    • Proxy status: toggle the option off (DNS only).

    • fai clic su Salva.

    Adding a CNAME DNS record to Cloudflare to redirect a www subdomain to an Odoo database
  7. Define a redirect rule to permanently redirect (301) your naked domain (e.g., yourdomain.com) to both http:// and https:// by going to Rules ‣ Overview ‣ Create rule ‣ Redirect Rule. On that page:

    • Enter any Rule name.

    • Under the If incoming requests match… section, select Custom filter expression and use the following configuration:

      • Field: select Hostname.

      • Operator: select equals.

      • Value: enter your domain name, e.g., yourdomain.com.

    • Under the Then… section, use the following configuration:

      • Type: select Dynamic.

      • Expression: enter the following expression concat("https://www.yourdomain.com", http.request.uri.path), replacing yourdomain.com with your domain name.

      • Status code: select 301.

      • Preserve query string: enable the option by ticking the box.

    • Click Deploy.

Mappare un nome di dominio in un database Odoo

Avvertimento

Ensure you have added a CNAME record to your domain name’s DNS before mapping your domain name to your Odoo database.

Failing to do so may prevent the SSL certificate from being validated and could result in a certificate name mismatch error. Web browsers often display this as a warning, such as «Your connection is not private».

If you encounter this error after mapping the domain name to your database, wait up to five days, as the validation may still be in progress. If not, you can submit a support ticket, including screenshots of your CNAME records.

  1. Open the database manager.

  2. Click the database name and select Domain Names.

  3. Click Use my own domain.

  4. Enter the domain name (e.g., www.yourdomain.com), click Verify, then I confirm, it’s done.

Crittografia SSL (protocollo HTTPS)

SSL encryption allows visitors to navigate a website over a secure connection, indicated by the https:// protocol at the beginning of a web address rather than the non-secure http:// protocol.

Odoo generates a separate SSL certificate for each domain mapped to a database using Let’s Encrypt’s certificate authority and ACME protocol.

Nota

  • La generazione di un certificato potrebbe impiegare fino a 24 ore.

  • Several attempts to validate your certificate are made over the next five days after you map your domain name to your database.

  • Se utilizzi un altro servizio, è possibile continuare ad utilizzarlo o modificarlo con Odoo.

Importante

Non viene generato nessun certificato SSL per domini semplici (nomi di dominio senza sottodomini o prefissi).

URL base web di un database

Nota

If the Website app is installed on your database, skip this section and continue from the Map a domain name to an Odoo website section.

L”URL base web o URL radice di un database ha un impatto sull’indirizzo del sito web principale e su tutti i link inviati ai clienti (ad es., preventivi, link portale, ecc.).

Per far sì che il nome di dominio personalizzato diventi l”URL base web del tuo database, accedi al database utilizzando il nome di dominio personalizzato e accedi come amministratore (un utente appartenente al gruppo di diritti di accesso Impostazioni in Amministrazione).

Importante

If you access your database using the original Odoo address (e.g., mycompany.odoo.com), the database’s web base URL will be updated accordingly. To prevent the automatic update of the web base URL when an administrator logs in to the database, activate the developer mode, go to Settings ‣ Technical ‣ System Parameters ‣ New, and enter web.base.url.freeze as the Key and True as the Value.

Nota

You can also set the web base URL manually. To do so, activate the developer mode, go to Settings ‣ Technical ‣ System Parameters, and search for the web.base.url key (create it if necessary) and enter the full address of your website as the value (e.g., https://www.yourdomain.com). The URL must include the protocol https:// (or http://) and not end with a slash (/).

Mappare un nome di dominio in un sito web Odoo

Nota

La mappatura del nome di dominio nel tuo sito web è diversa rispetto alla mappatura nel database:

  • It defines your domain name as the main one for your website, helping search engines index it correctly.

  • It defines your domain name as the base URL for your database, including portal links sent to your customers via email.

  • Se possiedi diversi siti web, mappa il nome di dominio nel sito web appropriato.

Go to Website ‣ Configuration ‣ Settings. If you have multiple websites, select the one you want to configure. In the Domain field, enter the URL of your website (e.g., https://www.yourdomain.com) and Save.

Avvertimento

La mappatura del nome di dominio nel sito web Odoo impedisce a Google Search di indicizzare il tuo indirizzo di database originale (ad es., mycompany.odoo.com).

If both addresses are already indexed, it may take some time for the indexation of the second address to be removed from Google Search. You can use the Google Search Console to fix the issue.

Subdomains

Adding a subdomain label to a domain name (e.g., subdomain.yourdomain.com) allows creating multiple websites with a single domain name. To do so:

  1. Add a CNAME record to forward your subdomain (e.g., subdomain.yourdomain.com) to the address of your Odoo database (e.g., mycompany.odoo.com).

  2. Map the subdomain to your Odoo database.

  3. Map the subdomain to your Odoo website.
