# Connect Sub Domain

Make ViewDrops work while hosted on your own domain.

The system creates a subdomain for your campaign to run on, such as Hugo.Viewfi.io. This is created when you make the brand sub domain. 

It is also possible to change your DNS settings and host the video URL on your own sub domain, for example reward[.hugo.com](http://NFT.Nike.com). You will need to go into your DNS and change your CNAME Settings. Instructions are below:

{% @arcade/embed flowId="0yNY2VUVtidJ1qIby5d5" url="<https://app.arcade.software/share/0yNY2VUVtidJ1qIby5d5>" %}

### Step by step guide

**Step 1** -  On the main page of your ViewFi platform, Click on Settings and choose Add domain. Or, access it from the publish screen (as seen above)&#x20;

**Step 2** - Confirm and click connect domain. If you have already done this you can manage it here.&#x20;

**Step 3** - Enter the domain name you want to connect of which you control and have DNS access.&#x20;
