End of Redirections for Legacy Host Names
Salesforce has announced the end of redirections for legacy host names, and this time it is not optional. In the previous release, Salesforce stopped these redirections and many orgs started to get redirection errors. At that point, it was still possible to recover by re-enabling legacy redirects in My Domain Settings. Optionally, you could also mark “Maintain legacy redirections during the Winter ’26 upgrade” to extend support a bit further. That temporary safety net is going away. Salesforce has announced the end of redirections for legacy (non-enhanced) host names.
What is changing in Spring ’26?
Redirections for legacy host names end in production and demo orgs in Spring ’26, starting in January 2026. There will be no option to re-enable support. It means this change will be enforced in Spring ’26, whether you are ready or not.
Why the change?
To comply with the latest browser and security standards, Salesforce recently required customers to deploy enhanced domains. That feature updated the host name formats for the domains that serve Salesforce orgs.
To reduce the impact of this change, your previous host names were redirected by default. However, to meet Salesforce security standards, Salesforce is retiring some of the previous domains, so those redirects must end.
What you should do now
- Identify anywhere you still use legacy host names (bookmarks, integrations, email templates, hardcoded links).
- Update those references to the enhanced domain host name format.
- Treat this as required work before Spring ’26, because there wonāt be a fallback option once enforcement starts in January 2026.
New URL Formats
Here is the list of URL formats using enhanced domains.

|---|---|
| Login | MyDomainName.my.salesforce.com |
| Sandbox Login | MyDomainName–SandboxName.sandbox.my.salesforce.com |
| Content Files | MyDomainName.file.force.com |
| Experience Cloud Sites | MyDomainName.my.site.com |
