Domain Names

Using a Custom Domain Name

Q: “Can I use my own domain name for my Magnify site?”

If you have your own Internet domain name you can set up a DNS alias for your Magnify.net site, such as www.mysitename.com or video.yourdomain.com. This does require some technical knowledge, but the information on this page should guide you through the process.

Adding a DNS Alias

Q: “I manage my own DNS; can a Magnify channel transparently use a name in my domain?”

See DNS Alias.

"A Record" Addresses

Q: “My DNS provider won't let me use a "CNAME" alias; can I use an "A" record instead?”

See DNS A Record.

DNS Servers

Q: “My domain registrar requires two name servers to be assigned to my domain; which Magnify servers will host my DNS?”

See DNS Servers.
