How to configure Domains for Funnels and Websites?

To set up your new Domain, adhere to the following instructions:

Step 1: (DNS Setup) Add an A record OR a CNAME record:

You must complete this step within your domain registrar, such as Cloudflare or GoDaddy. Based on your domain host, you can choose one of the following two methods:

 

CNAME:

You can add a CNAME record for your subdomains using the value sites.ludicrous.cloud

 

 

Instructions on Adding a CNAME record to various Domain Registrars:

Namecheap instructions

Godaddy instructions

Cloudflare instrucions

Wix instructions

Hostinger instructions

BlueHost instructions

 

Please Note:

If you are using Cloudflare, please make sure that the Proxy status is set to DNS only as we do not support Cloudflare Proxy.

 

A Record:


Alternatively, you can add an A record for your root domain or subdomain, directing it to 162.159.140.166

Please Note:

If you are using Cloudflare, please make sure that the Proxy status is set to DNS only as we do not support Cloudflare Proxy.

 

 

After adding your Domain to the Domain Registrar, it might take some time for the DNS settings to propagate, so if it doesn't work immediately, give it some time (up to 24 hours) and try again.

Step 2: Add a Domain/Subdomain to your sub-account:

Go to Settings in the left navigation menu

 

 

Next, go to Domains > click the + Add button (or the + Add Domain)

 

 

For Root Domains (e.g mydomain.com):

Enter your domain in the Domain URL field (use the root domain, not the subdomain) then click the Add record manually link.

  • By default, the system will enable adding the www subdomain in addition to the root domain. 
  • This option will also enable a 301 redirect so that all traffic to the www subdomain will be sent to the root domain. 

 

 

Note: Clicking the Continue button will initiate the "Domain Connect" feature which will lookup where the domain is registered and attempt to authorize a connection to automatically add the necessary DNS records. If your registrar is not supported yet, you will be prompted to manually add the DNS records with your domain registrar.

For Subdomains (e.g offer.mydomain.com)

Enter your subdomain in the Domain URL field  then click the Add record manually link.

 

 

Note: If you want a funnel step / website page to open without a path (domain.com instead of domain.com/home), you can select that page as the default page for that domain. A default page can be selected from Settings > Domains > Edit Domain.
