Domain Management
With Cloudonix, managing multiple service domains (or accounts) is easy and simple. Unlike other platforms, Cloudonix uses a domain naming convention, similar to the way Internet domains naming (FQDN) works. In fact, for ease of use, we recommend using Internet valid FQDNs as your domains.
What is a Cloudonix domain?
In Cloudonix, a domain represents a walled-garden environment, where various resources interact. These resources
can be users (admin users), subscribers (remote devices), applications (voice applications) and more. For simplicity,
in Cloudonix we refer to all of these as Models or Objects. Each with its own set of properties and functionality.
Why multiple domains?
Unlike other CPaaS platforms, Cloudonix is designed to enable developers to build multi-tenant services, while keeping the highest level of security and seperation possible. As previously indicated, a domain is a walled-garden, which means, resources (Models/Objects) from one domain, can't interact or affect another domain. These unique approach enables developers to build sub-accounts or sub-brands, under their existing account - while providing other people access to a specific domain.
Cloudonix domain properties
A Cloudonix domain includes various properties, which affect how the domain functions. Some of the properties require additional information, such as Registration Free Dialing properties, while others are relatively self-explanatory.

The Domains View
Once you've finished creating your Cloudonix account, and you're logged on to the cockpit, your screen should look like the following:
Click the Domains menu option, to access the domains management view. The screen will change, displaying a list of
available domains. Use the Create New Domain button to create a new domain, the Active filter toggle and the search
box to narrow the list. In the example below, the list is filtered by the search term cxguide, showing a single domain
named cxguide-uyhor4.cloudonix.net (new cloudonix.net subdomains receive a random suffix, in the form of
<label>-<6 chars>.cloudonix.net):
