POD Sandbox Instance Naming Convention

POD sandboxes use specific naming conventions.

If you are using B2C Commerce on-demand sandboxes, see On-Demand Sandboxes for information about accessing and using your sandboxes. POD sandboxes use the following naming convention:

<instance name>-<realm>-<customer name>.demandware.net

Where:

Element	Description
<instance name>	Follows the naming convention of type + number, where there is more than one instance of a type. Sandboxes: `dev01` Note: Other instances types use `staging`, `development`, and `production` instead of `dev01`.
<realm>	One or more assigned to each customer (merchant). A customer can use multiple realms if implementing multiple eCommerce initiatives. However, a customer is usually assigned one realm, 'web'.
<customer name>	Customer-specific name.
demandware.net	Standard and required.

Note: If you have any questions about the instance naming convention, contact B2C Commerce support for assistance.

For example:

production-web-company1.demandware.net
staging-company2-partner.demandware.net
dev04-web-company5.demandware.net
