General settings

Name your panel, set its address, and decide who may register.

Go to Admin > Settings > General.

A tab strip at the top of the page links the panel-wide settings pages. The tabs are General, Features, License, Mail, Webhooks, and OAuth / SSO. The Mail tab and the OAuth / SSO tab appear only when your license includes those features.

Panel identity

SettingDescription
Panel NameThe name in the browser title and across the panel.
Panel URLThe address where the panel is reachable, for example https://panel.example.com. The panel builds links from this address.

If your license binds the panel to a domain, the Panel URL field shows a Locked by license badge. The field is then read-only, and the help text names the bound domain.

Custom domain

The Custom Domain card appears only on a hosted tenant. Every hosted tenant gets this card. No license add-on is necessary.

With a custom domain, your own address serves the panel. Your bdgpnl.com subdomain stays active at the same time.

To add a custom domain:

  1. Click DNS setup instructions. The panel shows the A record to create, with the target IP address. Click the copy button to copy the IP address.
  2. At your domain registrar, create the A record.
  3. Wait for DNS to propagate. This step takes a few minutes.
  4. Enter the domain in the Set custom domain field. Then click Save.

The panel validates DNS, adds the host, and gets a certificate that covers both addresses. This process takes 30 to 60 seconds after DNS resolves. A badge next to the domain shows Issuing cert... and then Cert ready.

If DNS does not point at the correct IP address, the panel shows an error with the A record that it expects. Correct the record, then click Save again.

An apex domain such as example.com also works. You cannot keep a website on the same name.

TIP

If you use OAuth providers for login, add https://your-domain/auth/callback to the redirect URI allowlist of each provider.

To remove the domain, click Remove and confirm. The panel then serves the bdgpnl.com subdomain only.

Localization

User registration

Registration and email verification are not on this page. The User Registration card links to Settings > Features, which holds both toggles. The Features page also warns you when the panel cannot deliver a verification email.
