Because your apps are web based, they are accessed or installed via a web address. To get you started we created one for you, and it looks something like 2ca91.optimised.mobi and it works perfectly fine.

However, you probably already have a domain name that you use and want your visitors to use  something like m.mydomain.com to keep things simple. 

To do that you need to create what is known as a CNAME record which you can point a subdomain of m to a different web address.

Each hosting service has slightly different ways to create CNAME records. Guidelines are provided here for some of the common services. When in doubt, check with the particular company you're using for additional help or instructions.

Instructions

• GoDaddy.com
• mix web hosting
• 1and1
• EveryDNS.net
• Yahoo!SmallBusiness
• No-IP
• DNS Park
• Other hosting services 

Be careful in using CNAME records because only users highly familiar with DNS should attempt to use CNAMES. For example, you could create routing problems for all of your DNS information, including your website and e-mail. We can not be held responsible for errors arising from these instructions.

When in doubt, check with the particular company you're using for additional help or instructions.

4. Click the Total DNS Control And MX Records link at the bottom of the section entitled Total DNS.
5. Click Add New CNAME Record in the box labelled CNAMES (aliases). If you've already created a CNAME record for your app's address, click the pencil icon next to the existing CNAME record.
6. For the Name, enter only the subdomain of the address you want to use for your app. For example, if you picked m.mydomain.com as your address, enter m here.

Other hosting services

1. Log in to your account on your hosting service's website, and go to the DNS management page.
   Since CNAME records are special Domain Name Service (DNS) records, they may be in sections such as DNS Management or Name Server Management. It's possible that you will have to enable advanced settings to create a CNAME record.
2. Delete existing CNAME entries for the address you want to use with your app.
   Before entering a new CNAME record to point to Google, you should first delete any existing entries for the same alias. If you plan to transfer an existing web address to appger, you may want to copy any content currently at that address elsewhere first.
3. Use the information in the following table when you create your CNAME record.
   If your service requires you to enter server information directly into the DNS tables, the entry below needs to have a type CNAME associated with them.
   
4. Host Name/Alias
   m
5. Value/Destination
   xxxxx.optimised.mobi
