InfluxDB OSS is accessed at `localhost:8086` by default, but you can also
customize your InfluxDB host and port.
**Default host:** `localhost`
**Default port:** `8086`
{{< keep-url >}}
```
http://localhost:8086/
```
## Customize your InfluxDB OSS URL
To customize your InfluxDB host and port, use the
[`http-bind-address` configuration option](/influxdb/v2.0/reference/config-options/#http-bind-address)
when starting `influxd`.
{{< keep-url >}}
```sh
# Syntax
influxd --http-bind-address <custom-domain>:<custom-port>
# Example - Run InfluxDB at http://example.com:8080
influxd --http-bind-address example.com:8080
# Example - Run InfluxDB at http://localhost:8080
influxd --http-bind-address :8080
```

#### Configure DNS routing
You must configure DNS routing to successfully route requests to your custom hostname.
Methods for configuring DNS routing vary depending on your operating system and
network architecture and are not covered in this documentation.
