You will then need to point the domain to our servers.<\/p>\n<p>To set up a subdomain, for example, <em>files.yourdomain.com<\/em>, create a new CNAME record with the subdomain name &#8220;<strong>files<\/strong>&#8221; and point it to the value &#8220;<strong>proxy.jumpshare.com<\/strong>&#8220;.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Using a CDN Provider such as Cloudflare?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>If you&#8217;re setting up your DNS Record on any CDN provider such as Cloudflare or any other, ensure the Proxy Status is set as &#8220;DNS Only&#8221;.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Once the Setup is Complete<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Once you&#8217;ve correctly configured your domain to point toward our servers, login to your Jumpshare account, <a href=\"https:\/\/jumpshare.com\/settings\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">visit the Settings page, <\/a>and switch to the Customize tab. Under the &#8220;Custom Domain&#8221; field, type your custom domain depending on what you&#8217;ve set up and click Update. If everything is set up properly, you will be able to share files using your custom domain.<\/p>\n<p>To remove a custom domain, click the &#8220;Remove domain&#8221; button. Please note that if the custom domain is removed, your custom domain shareable links will stop working.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Enabling HTTPS on your custom domain<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>After you&#8217;ve successfully set up your custom domain using the method above and the DNS propagation has been completed, the HTTPS will automatically be applied to your custom domain.<\/p>\n<p>It will take up to 2 minutes for the SSL\/TLS certificate to apply to your custom domain. During this time, if you copy a link, it will copy as HTTP, however, once the certificate has been applied, then it will copy as HTTPS.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s it!
