What Determines Your URL Formats
Understand how your My Domain affects the login and application URLs for your Salesforce org, and learn about enhanced domains. Review the impact of stabilizing certain URL formats when you have a My Domain.
Required Editions
| Available in: both Salesforce Classic and Lightning Experience |
| Available in: Group, Essentials, Professional, Enterprise, Performance, Unlimited, and Developer Editions |
My Domain provides a customer-specific login URL for your Salesforce org and updates your Visualforce, Experience Builder, and content URLs.
The My Domain format of the login URL for a production org is MyDomainName.my.salesforce.com. You can also allow users to
continue to log in from login.salesforce.com. With
enhanced domains, which were enforced in Winter ’24, Salesforce application URLs also
contain your My Domain name as a subdomain and URLs for sandboxes use a different
format.
For non-production orgs other than sandboxes, the URL formats differ based on whether partitioned domains are enabled. Qualifying new orgs get this feature by default. With partitioned domains, the My Domain URL formats include a word related to the org type.
Partitioned Domains
With partitioned domains, My Domain host names for your non-production org include a word related to the org type. For example, partitioned domains for Developer Edition orgs include the word develop. Partitioned domains allow Salesforce to maximize the availability of your orgs by gradually rolling out delivery changes. And it’s easier to identify an org by a URL when the domain is partitioned.
Qualifying new non-production orgs are partitioned by default, and you can’t disable partitioning in those orgs.
For more information and lists of the URL formats for these org types, see Partitioned Domains.
Enhanced Domains
Enhanced domains are the current version of My Domain that meets the latest browser requirements. In Winter ’24, all orgs got enhanced domains and the feature can’t be disabled.
With enhanced domains, all URLs across your org contain your company-specific My Domain name, including URLs for your Experience Cloud sites, Salesforce Sites, Visualforce pages, and content files. These URLs also comply with the latest browser requirements, allowing your users to access Salesforce using browsers that block third-party cookies.
All application URLs start with your org’s My Domain name and no application URLs contain your instance name. Also, sandbox org URLs include the word “sandbox,” making it easy to identify a sandbox org from its URL. With no instance names, enhanced My Domain URLs are easier for users to remember and remain stabilized when your org is moved to another Salesforce instance.
If your org was created before Summer ’22, enhanced domains weren’t enabled by default. When enhanced domains were deployed, the domain suffix—the part after the My Domain name—changed for Experience Cloud sites, Salesforce Sites, content files, Site.com Studio, Experience Builder, and Visualforce URLs.
Before enhanced domains were deployed, the formats for several other URLs varied based on the My Domain setting: Stabilize URLs for Visualforce, Experience Builder, Site.com Studio, and content files.
