Can I Point My .com to My ExaVault Account?
Yes! You can easily point a host within your domain to your ExaVault account.
Redirection is done by adding a DNS CNAME record. A CNAME record lets you transparently redirect a domain from your site to your ExaVault account. This allows your customers to go to ftp.mycompany.com (for example), and login to your ExaVault account. Your customers never see the exavault.com name.
To setup a CNAME, you'll need to contact the people that control your domain name. Generally, this is your website hosting company (e.g. Dreamhost, 1&1, Bluehost, Rackspace, etc.), although in some cases it may be under the control of the domain registrar from whom you originally ordered it (e.g. GoDaddy, Network Solutions, etc.). Tell them you want to setup a CNAME record that points:
files.mycompany.com → username.exavault.com
Once they set that up, you're done. You can then access your FTP space by going to
files.mycompany.com
Will a CNAME work for both SWFT and FTP?
At this time, the CNAME records only work for your customers using FTP software to access your storage space. If your customers want to use SWFT, they'll need to access it at https://swft.exavault.com/
Can I Use a CNAME Record AND Embed EVFTP on My Website?
Embedding EVFTP on Your Website »
Yes! All that you need to do is use the CNAME in the default_host= parameter. For example:
EVFTP Example: Rebranded with pre-filled CNAME'd server »
