Use Your Own Domain with amber
You can run amber under your own web address (for example "ai.yourcompany.com") instead of the default "yourcompany.ambersearch.de". Your users then access amber on a domain that matches your brand. You will not need to send any SSL certificate or private key. We create and renew the HTTPS certificate for you automatically.
Prerequisites
A domain (or subdomain) you own, e.g.
ai.yourcompany.com.Access to your DNS provider (where you manage that domains records).
Your current amber address, e.g.
yourcompany.ambersearch.de(we provide this).
Step 1 - Provide your custom domain
Send your contact at amber the exact domain you would like to use, e.g.:
ai.yourcompany.com
We will configure your setup on our side and confirm when we are ready for your DNS change.
Step 2 — Add the DNS record (CNAME)
At your DNS provider, create a CNAME record:
Use the exact target we will provide for you (your current amber address).
If your provider offers a "proxy"/"orange cloud" option (e.g. Cloudflare), keep it
DNS only / off.
Step 3 - Tell us it's done
Once the record is live, let us know. We then finish the setup and automatically issue the HTTPS certificate for your domain. This usually completes within a few minutes.
Done
Open your custom domain e.g. https://ai.yourcompany.com and you will see amber with a valid HTTPS padlock, on your own domain. Your original address keeps working too.
Good to know
HTTPS is automatic. We issue and renew the certificate for your domain - nothing to send us.
Why a CNAME? It points your domain at our service while we handle hosting, certificates, and updates.
The certificate can only be created after your CNAME is live - that is how the certificate authority confirms the domain is really yours. If the record isn't published yet, setup will wait for it.
Already have your own certificate? That's fine as well - just tell us, and we can use it instead.
Still stuck? Contact amber Support with your domain name and we'll check it for you.
