Connect a Root Domain or Subdomain to Your Sites

Using your own address for websites, funnels, stores, blogs and webinars looks professional and builds trust.

Choose the right hostname

A root domain is the plain address (example.com). A subdomain adds a prefix (www.example.com or offers.example.com). If your root domain already hosts a site or email that must keep working, connect a subdomain instead. One hostname cannot point to two services at once.

Connect it

1. Go to Settings > Domains & URL Redirects and click Connect a domain.
2. Choose the Funnel, Website, Store, Blog or Webinar option and click Connect.
3. Enter the domain in Domain URL.
4. Choose Continue for automatic setup, or Add record manually.

For a root domain you can also add the www version, with a redirect to the root.

Automatic or manual DNS

• Automatic: if your provider is supported, authorize the connection when prompted and wait for verification.
• Manual: sign in where your DNS is managed and add the record shown on the screen. Use either an address record or an alias record for a hostname, never both. If you use Cloudflare, set the record to DNS only, not proxied.

Changes can take up to 24 hours to spread.

Finish

1. When verification succeeds, select the funnel or website and its default landing page, then click Link Domain. A security certificate is added automatically within minutes.
2. Under Manage for the domain, choose a Default Page and a Default 404/Error Page.

Good to know: An Action Required reminder appears until both default pages are chosen.
