# Connect Sub 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.&#x20;

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:
