1) Choose a hostname for the URL protection service. 


You can set the link checking hostname to be anything. Other customers have used hostnames like:

protection.yourdomain.com
linkcheck.yourdomain.com
urldefense.yourdomain.com

This is the URL that your users will see in the browser navigation bar each time they click a link within an email message.

2) Update the DNS configuration for your domain.


In your DNS control panel add a CNAME record for your chosen hostname and point it to


urlf.phishprotection.com

Allow time for the change to propagate fully.


You check your DNS propagation here - https://dnschecker.org/#CNAME/
