To set up your custom domain so as to hide Dryfta from your event website URL, you need to do the following:

1. Create a CNAME record in your DNS for your custom domain and point the URL to youreventname.dryfta.com. “Yourevetnname” is the name with which your account is created. See below example of a CNAME record.

youreventname.yourwebsite.com. 14400 IN CNAME youreventname.dryfta.com.

2. Go to Settings > General Settings and under Custom domain, enter your custom domain you plan to use. 

That’s all. If you have created the record correctly, your custom domain will go live within the next 24 hours.

Important Notes:

  1. Your custom domain needs to have the same first level name as the first level name in the Dryfta domain. For example, if your Dryfta domain is symposium2018.dryfta.com, then your custom domain should be symposium2018.yourdomain.com. 
  2. It takes up to 24 hours to complete the custom domain setup. Until then, accessing your custom domain would display a browser warning about an invalid security certificate.
