Alternate Domains
=================

Read the Docs supports a number of custom domains for your convinence. Shorter urls make everyone happy, and we like making people happy!

Subdomain Support
------------------

Every project has a subdomain that is available to serve it's documentation. If you go to <slug>.readthedocs.org, it should show you the latest version of documentation. A good example is http://pip.readthedocs.org

CNAME Support
-------------

If you have your own domain, you can still host with us. If you point a CNAME record in your database to the subdomain for your project, it should magically serve your latest documentation on the custom domain. Using pip as another example, http://www.pip-installer.org resolves, but is hosted on our infrastructure.


RTFD.org
---------

You can also use <slug>.rtfd.org as a short URL for the front page of your subdomain'd site. For example, http://pip.rtfd.org redirects to it's documentation page. We're looking for more fun ways to use this domain, so feel free to suggestion an idea.

As an example, fabric's dig record looks like this:

    -> dig docs.fabfile.org
    ...
    ;; ANSWER SECTION:
    docs.fabfile.org.   7200    IN  CNAME   fabric.readthedocs.org.
