Website & branding · Domain & site setup
Connect your own domain
Run your whole platform on your own web address. Add your domain or a subdomain, copy the DNS record we show you into your domain provider, and the secure padlock (SSL) is set up automatically.
Your address, your brand
Until you connect a domain, your site is always reachable at a free default address, so you can launch immediately. But before you invite real members or run ads, connect your own domain so every link carries your brand.
You have two options: use your entire domain (like yourbrand.com) if this platform should be your whole website, or a subdomain (like members.yourbrand.com) if you already have a homepage you want to keep — then only the member experience lives here.
The DNS step
After you add your domain, the admin shows you the exact DNS record to create at your domain provider (GoDaddy, Namecheap, and so on): an A record for a root domain, or a CNAME record for a subdomain. Copy the name and value shown, add the record at your provider, and wait for it to verify.
DNS changes usually take effect within 30 minutes but can take up to 48 hours. Use the "Check status now" button to re-verify at any time. Once verified, the HTTPS certificate — the secure padlock — is issued for you automatically; there's nothing to install.
Step by step
- In your admin, open Settings → Domain & email.
- Type the domain or subdomain you want to use (without https://).
- Click "Add domain".
- Copy the DNS record shown (A record for a root domain, CNAME for a subdomain) into your domain provider.
- Wait for verification, pressing "Check status now" to re-check.
- When the status shows Active, your site is live on your own address.
Good to know
- Set up your email sending domain on the same page afterward, so member emails come from your address too.
- You can remove a connected domain at any time — the default address keeps working regardless.
- Connect your domain before creating ads or printed materials so links never have to change.
