===============================================

First let's authorize the redirection (yourcompany.com -> yourcompany.odoo.com):

We can now apply the redirection from your domain name's manager account:
68+
69+
* Log in to your account and search for the DNS Zones management page.
70+
71+
* Create a CNAME record *www.yourdomain.com* pointing to *mywebsite.odoo.com*.
72+
If you want to use the naked domain (e.g. yourdomain.com), you need to redirect
73+
*yourdomain.com* to *www.yourdomain.com*.
74+
75+
.. note:: Here are some specific guidelines to create a CNAME record:
