We recommend that you test a change to your My Domain details in a sandbox. To review the high-level steps, the recommended practices, and how to reduce the impact on your users and customers, see [Plan for a My Domain Change](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=xcloud.domain_name_plan.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "Whether you change your My Domain to update your brand, to adopt enhanced domains, or to enable partitioned domains, the URLs that Salesforce hosts for your org change. Those changes can have a large impact, and making the required updates can seem like a daunting project. To make the process as smooth as possible for you, your users, and your customers, review the high-level steps, the recommended practices, and how to reduce the impact on your users and customers."). 1. From Setup, in the Quick Find box, enter My Domain, and then select **My Domain**. 2. Under My Domain Details, select **Edit**. The My Domain Details edit page appears. 3. To change your My Domain, enter your new My Domain or suffix. Your chosen My Domain Login URL is displayed. 1. To change your My Domain name, enter a new domain name. To confirm that your new name is available, click **Check Availability**. If your name is already taken, choose a different one. ![My Domain Details edit page](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-xcloud-setup-264-0-0-production-enus/6f21df35-9ea0-4f53-ac94-45c3b5dfd5bc/setup/images/my_domain_rename.png) Avoid entering personal information in your domain name. Instead, enter only public information. In production and sandbox orgs, your name must contain at least 3 characters and no more than 34 characters. In Developer Edition orgs, your name must contain at least 3 characters and no more than 27 characters. It can include letters, numbers, and hyphens, but you can’t start the name with a hyphen. 2. If other suffixes are available for your org’s My Domain, a suffix dropdown list appears. To change your My Domain suffix, select a new suffix. ![Tip](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-xcloud-setup-264-0-0-production-enus/6f21df35-9ea0-4f53-ac94-45c3b5dfd5bc/images/icon_tip.png) Tip Unsure of which suffix to pick? For most orgs, the Standard suffix is the best option. ![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 To avoid potential conflicts between follow-up processes such as CNAME and DNS updates, you can’t make a change that requires provisioning for 15 minutes after you change your My Domain name or enable enhanced domains. Changes that require provisioning include changing your My Domain name or suffix, enabling enhanced domains, moving to Salesforce Edge Network, and removing your previous My Domain. 4. If your suffix is Standard, select **Use enhanced domains**. Enhanced domains were enforced in Winter ’24. After enhanced domains are deployed, you can’t disable this feature. Only a limited number of orgs are using legacy My Domain without enhanced domains. This feature allows your Salesforce login process and related URLs to meet the latest browser requirements. It also stabilizes your My Domain URL by removing the Salesforce instance, preventing user login disruption when your org moves to another Salesforce instance. ![Important](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-xcloud-setup-264-0-0-production-enus/6f21df35-9ea0-4f53-ac94-45c3b5dfd5bc/images/icon_important.png) Important Enhanced domains change URL formats across your org. For more information, see [My Domain URL Format Changes with Enhanced Domains Deployment](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=xcloud.domain_name_url_format_changes_enable_enhanced.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "Understand how login and application URL formats changed when enhanced domains, the latest version of My Domain, were deployed. These changes apply only to orgs created in June 2022 or earlier."). Before you deploy your updated My Domain in production, test it in a sandbox. 5. Optional: Stabilize your Visualforce, Experience Builder, Site.com Studio, and content file URLs. 1. Select **Stabilize Visualforce, Experience Builder, Site.com Studio, and content file URLs**. ![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 If you disabled **Use enhanced domains**, this option is enabled by default. To revert your URLs to their prior formats before enhanced domains were deployed, if this My Domain setting was previously disabled, deselect **Stabilize Visualforce, Experience Builder, Site.com Studio, and content file URLs**. To determine whether this setting was disabled before enhanced domains were deployed, check the Setup Audit Trail and find the audit trail action for the deployment of your My Domain with enhanced domains. If you see the action, “Enabled the My Domain setting, Stabilize Visualforce, Experience Builder, Site.com Studio, and content file URLs”, immediately before the deployment of enhanced domains, then this My Domain setting was disabled before enhanced domains were deployed. 2. Optional: Select **Include the instance name in Visualforce URLs when third-party cookies are blocked**. This option only applies to the Standard, Database.com, and Cloudforce suffixes when Visualforce URLs are stabilized without enhanced domains. Third-party cookie blocking can cause issues loading Visualforce pages with stabilized URLs. ![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 If enhanced domains are enabled, these URLs are stabilized and these settings aren’t available. Several browsers and operating systems updated their URL requirements after this option was first made available. Enhanced domains provide the latest standard for stabilizing the URLs that Salesforce hosts for your org. Unless you disabled enhanced domains in a prior step, these settings apply upon saving, without redeploying your My Domain. 6. Save your changes. If you changed your My Domain name or suffix, or if you enabled or disabled enhanced domains, Salesforce provisions your My Domain. Those changes take effect after you deploy your new My Domain. The provisioning process usually finishes in a few minutes, but it can take up to 24 hours. You receive an email when your My Domain is ready to be deployed and tested. When you change your My Domain details, Salesforce redirects your previous My Domain URLs to your current My Domain. If you change your My Domain more than one time, only the last set of My Domain URLs for your org are redirected. For more information, see [My Domain Redirections](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=xcloud.domain_name_redirections.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "When you deploy a change to your My Domain, Salesforce redirects multiple host names automatically. Learn about the types of redirections, how to log redirections for the host names that Salesforce hosts for your org, and how you can control these redirections.").

To test My Domain changes, deploy the change in a sandbox. If your My Domain login URL or site URL changes, update authentication. Review and make the required updates to support the new domains. Then test access to your org and your functional workflows in Salesforce. After you complete testing in a sandbox, use the same process to update your production org. Finally, update redirection behavior for your old URLs."). #### See Also - [My Domain Considerations](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=xcloud.domain_name_considerations.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "When you deploy a change to your My Domain, it’s important to understand the impact on URLs across your Salesforce org.

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.") - [Disable or Remove Your Previous My Domain](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=xcloud.domain_name_remove_previous.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "Each time that you deploy a change to your My Domain, Salesforce redirects requests from your previous My Domain URLs to your current My Domain.
