Channel Names - Tips

Now that each channel gets it’s own sub-domain, I thought I would let everyone know a simple tip. Say you want your channel to be called “some super long channel name”, if you do that, your domain will be http://some-super-long-channel-name.wowtv.tv

It’s a little long and not very friendly. To get a shorter domain all you have to do is simply create your channel using a temporary name that works for the URL. For example, you could use tom, which would become http://tom.wowtv.tv

Then, after you save your channel, simply rename it to “some super long channel name” and your domain will remain the same.

Of course this only works when you first create your channel, once the domain is set, it can’t be changed.
