Space key and public address

Your space has a public website, and its address comes from the space key:

https://<key>.eolymp.space

A space with the key springcup is served at https://springcup.eolymp.space. That's where participants sign in, solve problems and compete. You'll find the address on the dashboard, on the Space website card, with a button that opens it.

The key is also the first part of every console URL for that space, which is why you see it in the address bar while you work.

Changing the key

You can change the key in Settings → General. Before you do, be clear about what happens: the new address takes effect immediately, and the old one stops working at once. There's no grace period and no forwarding.

Everything pointing at the old address breaks:

• links you've emailed to participants

• links from your own website or social media

• bookmarks people have saved

• invitations to contests that haven't started yet

If a contest is running or about to start, don't change the key. Wait until it's over.

Changing the key doesn't touch anything inside the space. Problems, contests, members and results are all unaffected — only the address changes.

Choosing a key

Pick a key you can live with, because changing it later is disruptive:

• Short and easy to say aloud. People will read it off a slide or type it from a printed sheet.

• Recognisable as you — your school, club, olympiad or company.

• Not tied to a year or a single event, unless the space really is for that one event. informatics-olympiad outlives olympiad-2026.

Keys are unique across the platform, so a key someone else already has isn't available.

Custom domains

A space can't be served on your own domain. There's no setting for it, and pointing your own DNS at the platform won't work — only <key>.eolymp.space addresses reach a space.

You can of course link to your space from your own website, and give people a short link of your own that redirects to it.

The console's own address

The console is always at console.eolymp.com, whatever your space is called. Your space's public site and the console are different places: the console is where you build things, the public site is where participants use them.
