By default, Crisp allows you to use an hosted knowledge base custom domain (eg. acme.crisp.help). However, it is possible (and recommended!) to configure a custom knowledge base domain (eg. help.acme.com).
Some DNS managers only require the beginning of the subdomain. For instance, instead of CNAME support.yourdomain.com you will have to provide CNAME support instead (without .yourdomain.com). Please compare with your other DNS entries.
