# How do I create and use a custom domain (CNAME)?

Creating a customized domain allows you to **reinforce your company's brand image** by integrating your domain name into the transfer links. In addition to improving visual consistency with your other communications, a dedicated domain gives you **greater control over transfer management and security**. This ensures a smoother experience, while distinguishing your file exchanges from your company's other services.

To create a customized domain:

1. Click on the “Dashboard” link at the top of your screen;
2. Then select “Administration” from the side navigation of your “Dashboard”, then “Customization”;
3. At the bottom of the page you'll find a section called “Custom Domain”.
4. Here you can define a domain name of your choice and validate.

> Please note that user groups cannot activate this feature, as they depend on sub-domains per group.

Using your own domain name with a CNAME record is a **TransferNow Enterprise** feature.
