Choosing your SmartVideoChannel Domain
• You have 2 choices: create your own domain name (ie, http://chooseaname.smartvideochannel.com), or if you already have a domain, setup a DNS entry to point to SmartVideoChannel (ie, http://video.MYSITE.com) How do I setup video.MYSITE.com to be my SmartVideoChannel site? • If you already have a site and would like to integrate our video feature into your site, you can edit the CNAME record of your DNS entry to point "video.MYSITE.com" to our servers. You will need to add a CNAME record to your DNS entry. *Note - this is different from a domain forward. Typically you add a CNAME record through your ISP, or whoever is hosting your domain name. • When you set up the CNAME record, be sure to point it at "smartvideochannel.com". Once you have the CNAME pointed, Ping "video.MYSITE.com" and Ping smartvideochannel.com. They should show the same IP address. If they do not match, then contact your ISP or domain manager. • Once your domain is pointed to the correct place, login to your SmartVideoChannel Admin account. On the left navigation, click on "Edit Channel Details" and choose "I already have a domain" under the SmartVideoChannel Domain and type in the text field below. Do I have to use the CNAME “video”, can I use something else? Yes, you can use any CNAME you feel is appropriate to you and your web site. |
