Note: 

When using Lightning Components, your org must provide a "My Domain". Otherwise, you won't be able to see the output of your Lightning component. 

How to Enable my Domain?

  • From Setup, enter My Domain in the Quick Find box, then select My Domain. 
  • Enter the subdomain name to use in the sample URLs. 
  • Select Check Availability. If your name is already taken, please choose another name. 
  • Select Register Domain. 
  • You will receive a confirmation email from Salesforce when your new domain is ready for testing. 
  • Test the domain name and deploy it to your organization. 
  • Click the URL provided in the confirmation email to log in to Salesforce with your new domain. 
  • Or from Settings, enter My Domain in the Quick Find box, select My Domain, then select Click here to sign in. 
  • Test your new domain by clicking tabs and links within your organization. Notice that all pages now show the new domain name. 
  • To roll out a new domain name to your organization, from Setup, enter My Domain in the Quick Find box, select My Domain, then click Provision to Users. Select. 
  • The domain will be activated immediately and the user will be redirected to the new domain's page. 

Note: 

Only the Salesforce Support team can disable or change domain names after deployment.
