YOUR CUSTOM DOMAIN (Domain Resolution)
If you own a custom Domain that you would like to be the PRIMARY domain showing when you land on your website, Raymond James will need to work with IT to set up Domain resolution for you. This will allow the custom domain to be your default website address showing on your browser window. The cost for this is $100USD / year and takes approx. 6-12 weeks to set up from the IT side. This is not mandatory, but the cost is required to apply a SSL security certificate on the domain to keep your website showing as Secured.
Every Website has a Raymond James URL by default.
PRIMARY DOMAIN: Means the Website URL that shows in the Browser window, in the top address bar, after you land on a website. By Default this is the Raymond James URL.
CUSTOM DOMAIN: Is Advisor Owned URL, that has been purchased for use by the advisor. This does NOT register a business, it is just a link that directs to your website. Advisors can FORWARD custom domains to their Raymond James address or opt for Domain Resolution (at a cost). Both options will allow you to market with and use your custom domain.
