CNAME Record Guide

Is it possible to use domain names other than the IDrive® e2 region specific domain names?

Yes, you can replace IDrive® e2 specific region domain names with your own domain names. You need to create a CNAME record for your domain name server and point that to your e2 region domain name. The Dashboard on the web console lists the IDrive® e2 specific domain names of each enabled region.
