Setting Up a Custom SFTP Server Name - Branding your SFTP

To personalize your storage, you can replace SFTP To Go's hostname with a subdomain of a domain you own. To do so, copy your SFTP To Go host name from the dashboard and add a CNAME record to point to the host name. For example:

RecordNameTarget
CNAMEsftpyellow-rectangle-14793.sftptogo.com.

Here are some links to the documentation regarding editing DNS records with popular domain providers. If your DNS provider isn't listed here, login to your provider's website and search their 'help' documents on adding DNS records.
