How can I run Surfly sessions using my own domain?
You can run Surfly using your own domain in more than one ways. One is to have your own dedicated Surfly server setup. You can install and manage one yourself or we can do that for you. These are our on-premise and private-cloud deployment offerings and they come with a lot of benefits but you also need to take into consideration the technical resources and/or cost when you opt for those.
There is also another faster, simpler and much less expensive option to run Surfly from your domain of choice whilst leveraging our global server infrastructure.
For example, if your chosen domain is https://collaborate.yourdomain.com the invite links will be https://collaborate.yourdomain.com/xyz123 and you will be able to access the Surfly user dashboard (UI) using https://app.collaborate.yourdomain.com
To achieve this, you can delegate your chosen subdomain to us so that we can generate required SSL certificate and create DNS records to point your subdomain to Surfly servers. Once that is done, you can start accessing Surfly from app.collaborate.yourdomain.com and run sessions from it.
Technical requirement:
Please use the following nameservers for domain delegation:
ns0.surfly.com
ns1.surfly.com
ns2.surfly.com
ns3.surfly.com
ns4.surfly.com
ns5.surfly.com
Once you have completed the domain delegation, please verify it. Additionally, we need your company name and ID as registered with Surfly. If you are making this request on behalf of a client, please provide their name instead. You can find the necessary steps to verify that the domain delegation is complete and to locate the registered account here.
We offer the capability to securely bind your domain to your Surfly account(s), guaranteeing that only authorised users can utilise this domain. This ensures a private and protected association, eliminating concerns about other entities accessing your domain on Surfly's public cloud.
We offer an alternative to domain delegation. More details on this option can be found here.
