Host

Host indicates the CRIPT instance that you want to upload your data to whether that is CRIPT or a private instance

For most users host will be criptapp.org

host: criptapp.org


However, if any user wants to connect to their own private instance of cript, they can easily do that by changing the host to whatever URL they are using

Private Instance Example:

host: myPrivateWebsite.com
