DreamObjects CNAME

Overview of using CNAME records in DreamObjects
DreamObjects now allows you to create aliases that point to your buckets using CNAME records. You can use a CNAME record to map a DreamHost.com bucket URL to a domain under your control, like media.mygreatsite.com. Now it's even more convenient to use DreamObjects to store your web content!

Examples of CNAME records and buckets
We also built an interface that is accessible from the DreamObjects panel that creates, deletes, and modifies these CNAME records.

The new interface includes:
 * A section for permissions
 * A link to the bucket
 * A section for setting up aliases as subdomains of domains on the Account

Creating, deleting, or modifying an Alias (CNAME Record) for a Bucket
You use the Change Settings dialog box to modify CNAME records.

To access the Change Settings page:
 * 1) Open the dialog in the DHO panel by clicking Change Settings on a bucket row.

 * 2) Select a permission by toggling the PERMISSIONS switch.

Creating an Alias (CNAME Record) for a Bucket with DreamSpeed CDN
Creating an alias for a bucket with DreamSpeed CDN enabled is just like creating an alias for a regular DreamObjects bucket.

 * 1) With DreamSpeed CDN enabled, you now have the option to create aliases for a regular DreamObjects bucket or an accelerated bucket with DreamSpeed CDN enabled.
 * Once DreamSpeed CDN is enabled (note the CDN SUPPORT switch in the bottom left), a new dropdown box appears next to your domain alias.
