Studio Custom Domain and Launch Acceptance

This article migrates Zhishu Cloud Studio from a temporary address to studio.zhishuyun.com and completes the launch acceptance using formal open standards.

Completion Effect

Customers can access via https://studio.zhishuyun.com, the browser certificate is valid, and the page, login, and main AI capabilities remain on the correct domain.

Real Case: studio.zhishuyun.com loads Zhishu Cloud Studio

Preparation Before Starting

  • Ability to manage the DNS of zhishuyun.com;
  • Name, Logo, customer service, login, capabilities, and pricing have been completed;
  • Decided to use studio.zhishuyun.com;
  • No conflicting A, AAAA, or CNAME records in the DNS.

Step 1: Add Page Domain Name

  1. Log in to the Studio main site and open the sub-site settings;
  2. Go to Custom Domain;
  3. Enter studio.zhishuyun.com, without https://, path, or trailing slash;
  4. Click to add;
  5. Copy the CNAME target value displayed on the page.

Step 2: Add CNAME in DNS Provider

Add a new record in the domain resolution console:

Field Example Value
Type CNAME
Host Record studio
Record Value Studio Proxy address displayed in the console
TTL Default value

Zhishu Cloud currently resolves to:

studio.zhishuyun.com → studio-proxy.acedata.cloud

Refer to the target displayed in the console at that time, do not copy the old value from the screenshot.

Step 3: Verify and Wait for HTTPS

  1. Save the DNS record;
  2. Wait a few minutes and return to Custom Domain;
  3. Click "Check" or "Verify";
  4. Wait for the status to change to Active;
  5. Open using https://studio.zhishuyun.com, do not use HTTP for acceptance.

DNS effectiveness and certificate issuance are two stages. The certificate may still require a few extra minutes even when DNS is correct.

Step 4: Acceptance According to Formal Open Standards

Complete using a new incognito window:

  1. Open the homepage and refresh three times;
  2. Check the name, Logo, Favicon, theme, and customer service;
  3. Register or log in to a test account, confirm the redirect is still studio.zhishuyun.com;
  4. Open a chat capability and send a minimal request;
  5. Open a live image or video capability, confirm tasks can be created and queried;
  6. Check pricing, purchase entry, and quota changes;
  7. View the page source code and the title, description, OG, favicon in the share preview;
  8. Open it once more under a mobile network.

Success Indicators

  • DNS query returns the CNAME required by the console;
  • HTTPS has no certificate warnings;
  • Login, redirect, refresh, and main capabilities are normal;
  • Customer service and legal links are accessible;
  • The browser loads correctly and displays the correct brand with the first screen HTML;
  • Test users, orders, and usage records are traceable.

Frequently Asked Questions

Verification Keeps Failing

Check if the full domain name was mistakenly filled in the "Host Record," or if conflicting A/AAAA records were retained. Use public DNS queries to confirm external results, do not just look at the DNS console.

HTTPS Certificate Not Ready

First, confirm that the CNAME has taken effect on the public network, then wait for the certificate to be issued. If it does not change for a long time, contact support with the recorded domain name and verification time.

Browser Correct but Crawler Brand Incorrect

This is due to server-side first screen injection not passing. Provide the original HTML, User-Agent, domain, and time to support, and do not mark the SEO acceptance as complete before fixing.
