Step 1: Sign in to your domain host

1. If you don’t know who this is, read Identity your domain host.
2. Open a browser tab or window and sign in to your host’s website.

Step 2: Add the CNAME record to your domain’s DNS records

If you’re not familiar with CNAME records, contact your domain host, who can help you. You can use the email template below when you call or email their support team.

To add the CNAME record to your domain host, follow the steps below. See your domain host’s documentation for more specific instructions.

1. Go to your domain’s DNS records.
2. Add a record to your DNS settings, selecting CNAME as the record type.
3. Change the Label or Host field of your DNS records to use any subdomain you wish. For example, if your domain name is coldwellrealty.com you may want to use tours.coldwellrealty.com
4. Change the Destination or Target field of your DNS records to app.cloudpano.com.

Your record should look similar to one of the tables below:

Verification CNAME Record

Record type	Label/Host field	Time To Live (TTL)	Destination/Target field
CNAME	tours.coldwellrealty.com	3600 or leave the default	app.cloudpano.com

Save your record.

1. CNAME record changes can take up to 72 hours to go into effect, but typically they happen much sooner.
2. You may now access your CloudPano Pro tour the same way you used to, but now you may use your personalized URL: tours.coldwellrealty.com/tours/tourId

Email Template for help from your domain host

Use this template to email your domain host for help adding your unique CNAME record to your DNS records. Enter your unique Label/Host and Destination/Target text into the email before sending it to your domain host’s Support team.

Dear Support,

Would you please help me add a CNAME record to my domain’s DNS records?

My domain is: <mydomain.com>

My CNAME record (destination/target) is: <app.cloudpano.com>

My CNAME record (host/label) points to: <[subdomain].mydomain.com>

Please contact me at:

Thanks,

<your name>

More about CNAME

Webhosting company Bluehost has a great write-up and video to learn more about CNAME records.

This post walks you through the process of identifying your domain host. When you know this information, you can take the next steps to using your own domain name for your Cloud Pano virtual tours. Or what we call white labeling or private labeling our virtual tour software. Enjoy!

What’s a domain host?

A domain host is an internet service that manages your domain name, for example, yourdomain.com. Domain hosts use DNS records to connect your domain name with email, websites, and other web services. Popular domain hosts include GoDaddy™, enom®, DreamHost®, and 1&1℠, to name a few.

Your CloudPano tours are hosted by us. However, you may need to know your domain host if you are a Pro Tour user who wants to white-label your tour. For example, to connect your domain with your CloudPano Pro Tour, add DNS records with your domain host. We give you step-by-step instructions in our helpful guide.

Find your domain host

Check your billing records

Your domain host is typically who you bought your domain name from. If you don’t remember who your domain host is:

1. Search your email archives for billing records about registration or transfer of your domain name. (Your domain host is listed on your invoice.)
2. Visit your domain host’s website.
3. Sign in with the credentials you used when you bought or transferred your domain. If you forgot your password, contact your domain host’s support team.

Use WHOIS lookup

If you can’t find your billing records, search for your domain host online:

1. Go to WHOIS lookup, provided by ICANN, a non-profit that collects domain information.
2. Enter your domain name in the search field and click Lookup.
3. In the results page, look for the Registrar section. The registrar is usually your domain host. For example:URL: www.polarmatix.com Registrar: Polarmatix Domain Services
4. Go to your registrar’s website using the listed URL.
5. Sign in with the credentials you used when you purchased (or transferred) your domain. If you forgot your password, contact your domain host’s support team.

Domain resellers

Some domains are hosted by resellers through a separate registrar. If you can’t sign in with your listed registrar or the registrar field is blank, your domain host may be a reseller.

1. In the WHOIS lookup results page, scroll down to the Raw WHOIS Record section.
2. Look for the Reseller entry.
3. Go to the reseller’s website.
4. Sign in with the credentials you used when you purchased (or transferred) your domain. If you forgot your password, contact the reseller’s support team.

If there is no reseller listed, contact the listed registrar’s support team for help.

Third-party DNS Hosts

Several third-party DNS hosting services, such as ClouDNS.net and FreeDNS, offer custom DNS hosting. If you use a third-party DNS host for your domain, the registrar listed in the WHOIS lookup is not where your domain records are managed.

Sign in to your third-party DNS host to access your domain records.

Next Steps

Once you have identified your host, you can login to your host to connect your domain with your CloudPano Pro Tour. Your domain host is happy to help you, and we are too.

• Hot Spot Connections: Connect your rooms (360 photos) with hot spots. When a user click (or taps on mobile) on a hot spot they are taken to the linked room or area designated. You (as a tour creator) can customize this experience and determine where each Hot Spot is connected and create a clean experience for the viewer.

• Virtual Reality Compatible: View your tour in a VR headset, just view your tour link on mobile, and click the VR icon.

5. When I click it, it will upload for a second and you’ll know it’s there because it will appear as a small icon on that button. If you want to change the logo delete the current one or upload a new one.

6. So, when I click publish that logo will appear in the top left-hand corner of the screen just like it is right here.

1. Go to CloudPano.com and,
2. Click get started.
3. Once you’re here, select some 360 photos to add to your virtual tour. My case goes right here and add these three photos. I’m going to name these photos before I get started with adding the Hotspots so I can know which photos I am adding the hotspots to they help me call it living room den and bedroom. Now because I had the living room selected this is what I see in this part of the image right?
4. So I can select set initial view so this is my first, this is where I will first begin viewing this room I can click link hotspot put the hotspot anywhere I want, so I’ll put it next to this door and I’ll have this hotspot go to the den.
5. Once I click that it’s automatically added to that hotspot linking.
6. Now when I go to my den here I am. I want to add two hotspots.
7. I want to go back to the living room I can click right here go back to the living room and one link to go back to the bedroom well it looks like I didn’t name this room so that’s why I need to press enter, there we go.
8. So with those hotspots added very quickly I can go to the bedroom my last hotspot edition set my initial view click hotspot back to the den area and once I click publish all my hotspots are added I log in to connect my account I want to upgrade I can’t right now I won’t and now you see in this living room right where I put that hotspot.
9. If I click right there the user will be able to tap or click there. I now have hotspots in each room connected to the other one and what’s cool about these hotspots is someone can also, if they want we’ll take out VR goggles tap the virtual reality mode and when someone puts the center dot no hands on to that they can actually travel to the next room you give it a hotspot hands-free which is really cool and fully submersible.

That’s how you add hotspot to your virtual tour with CloudPano.com.

With CloudPano.com 360 virtual tour software, you can create a tour and upload it to your website or blog.

Use the embed link provided when you publish your 360 tour.

For Example:

Here is what a embed link looks like when you publish a virtual tour on the Cloud Pano 360 virtual tour software platform.

Code example:

<iframe src=”https://app.cloudpano.com/tours/TQl4SzPOaX” width=”100%” height=”500″ allowfullscreen=”allowfullscreen”>

This is the code you need to add to your website or blog. And its the same code used above. If you want to customize the height of your embded virtual tour, change the pixel number following the “height=”. So in this example the heigth is 500 pixels high. You can change it to 600 by just changing the text to
height= “600”

You can make further adjustments based on your website needs and suggestions from your web developer.

Thanks for reading this post and publishing your Cloud Pano tour onto your website.
Talks soon,
Zach

Hey guys in this video I’m going to teach you how to upload a 360 photo to create a virtual tour with CloudPano.
Go to CloudPano.com, click get started on the screen you’ll be taken to the app.
Once you’re here click select 360 photos. So, I’m going to upload one 360 photos from my files here, it grabs that photo and it centralizes the view so that as you scroll around you are in a complete 360 environment.
If you upload a photo which I want to show you that is not 360, it will look very strange. Here’s a picture of me and my son eating doughnuts. I upload that photo to the tour software, I clicked here and look at what it looks like it’s all stretched out and strange-looking here’s my son’s face eating the doughnut super excited. The problem with this photo is it’s not the correct ratio and dimensions so it looks really weird here’s my face right let’s go ahead and delete this photo.
When you upload a 360 photo in the CloudPano, it recognizes that photo, centralizes the viewer, and you can play with it and create a virtual tour set your initial view link hotspots and you create the appropriate 360 virtual tours.
Thank you for watching this video and let me know if you have any questions.
