# What Is My Domain?

Showcase your company’s brand with your My Domain name. That My Domain name is used as your org-specific subdomain in Salesforce login and application URLs. For example, https://mycompany.my.salesforce.com and https://mycompany.my.site.com. Learn about the benefits of My Domain, including a custom login page and user login and authentication options.

### Required Editions

<table class="slds-table slds-table_bordered slds-max-medium-table_stacked slds-m-bottom_small edition"><colgroup><col></colgroup><tbody><tr class=""><td class="slds-cell-wrap" style="vertical-align:top;">Available in: both Salesforce Classic and Lightning Experience</td></tr><tr class=""><td class="slds-cell-wrap" style="vertical-align:top;">Available in: <strong>Group</strong>, <strong>Essentials</strong>, <strong>Professional</strong>, <strong>Enterprise</strong>, <strong>Performance</strong>, <strong>Unlimited</strong>, and<strong> Developer</strong> Editions</td></tr></tbody></table>

All orgs get a My Domain by default. If you don’t like your org’s My Domain name, you can change it.

In addition to https://login.salesforce.com, your users can log in to your Salesforce org with your My Domain login URL. This login URL uses a standard format, with your My Domain name as the subdomain. For example, the format for production org login URLs is `https://MyDomainName.my.salesforce.com`.

With My Domain, you can:

- Highlight your business identity with your unique domain URL.
- Brand your login page, and customize content on the right side of the page.
- Block or redirect page requests that don’t use your My Domain name.
- Work in multiple Salesforce orgs in the same browser at the same time.
- Set a custom login policy to determine how users are authenticated.
- Let users log in to Salesforce from the login page with a social account like Google or Facebook.
- Let users log in to your custom external web app with their Salesforce credentials.
- Preserve deep links such as `https://MyDomainName.my.salesforce.com/001/o` during future instance refreshes and org migrations.

With My Domain, Salesforce is enabled as the identity provider, but you can change identity providers. You can also increase security for your org by customizing your domain’s login policy.

Note My Domain URLs for Experience Cloud sites and Salesforce Sites use Salesforce domain suffixes such as my.site.com and salesforce-sites.com. To use a custom domain such as https://www.example.com to serve your org’s Experience Cloud sites and Salesforce Sites, see [Custom Domains](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.domain_mgmt.htm&type=5&language=en_US).
