For example, partitioned domains for Developer Edition and patch orgs include the word develop. Partitioned domains allow Salesforce to maximize the availability of your orgs by gradually rolling out delivery changes. And it’s easier to identify an org by a URL when the domain is partitioned. ### Required Editions
Available in: both Salesforce Classic and Lightning Experience
Available in: Group, Essentials, Professional, Enterprise, Performance, Unlimited, and Developer Editions
Partitioned Domains are available in Developer Edition orgs, demo orgs, patch orgs, scratch orgs, and Trailhead Playgrounds with enhanced domains. Sandboxes with enhanced domains are always partitioned. Only the sandbox partition is available in Government Cloud—Defense orgs. ![Note](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-xcloud-setup-264-0-0-production-enus/6f21df35-9ea0-4f53-ac94-45c3b5dfd5bc/images/icon_note.png) Note Qualifying new orgs get partitioned domains by default, and you can’t disable this feature in those orgs. Partitioned domains allow Salesforce to gradually roll out service delivery changes by org type. For example, Developer Edition orgs can get an update separately from production orgs. This staggered approach maximizes the availability of production and sandbox orgs. ![Note](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-xcloud-setup-264-0-0-production-enus/6f21df35-9ea0-4f53-ac94-45c3b5dfd5bc/images/icon_note.png) Note The Salesforce content delivery network (CDN) is enabled by default for sites that use enhanced domains (\*.my.site.com). However, Salesforce CDN isn’t supported for Experience Cloud sites that use partitioned domains. My Domain uses partitioned domains for new orgs of these types, and you can enable partitioned domains in these types. | Org Type | Partition Name | | --- | --- | | Developer Edition orgs | develop | | Demo orgs | demo | | Patch orgs | patch | | Sandboxes | sandbox | | Scratch orgs | scratch | | Trailblazer Playgrounds | trailblaze | For example, the My Domain login URL format for a partitioned Developer Edition org is `https://MyDomainName.develop.my.salesforce.com`. - **[Enable Partitioned Domains](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=xcloud.domain_name_partitioned_domains_enable.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)** To maximize the availability of your orgs, enable and deploy partitioned domains for your My Domain in your existing Developer Edition org, demo org, patch org, sandbox, scratch org, or Trailhead Playground.

With these org-specific URLs, you can set up a custom login page, set a custom login policy, offer single sign-on, and allow users to log in with a social account.

With enhanced domains, all URLs across your org contain your company-specific My Domain name, including URLs for your Experience Cloud sites, Salesforce Sites, Visualforce pages, and content files. This feature changed domain suffixes (the part after the My Domain name) to meet the latest security standards. With no instance names, enhanced My Domain URLs are easier for users to remember and don’t change when your org is moved to another Salesforce instance. Because enhanced domains meet the latest browser requirements, this feature was enforced in Winter ’24.")
