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:

Type Name / Host Value / Target (points to)

CNAME

ai.yourcompany.com

yourcompany.ambersearch.de

  • 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.
