How to Connect Your Custom Domain to GetWealthStack (Step-by-Step)
GetWealthStack
Last Update há um dia
You are ready to launch your funnels to the world. But before you do, you want them running on your own professional, branded domain (like www.yourcompany.com) instead of a default link.
Domains, DNS, and records... it sounds like heavy "tech ninja" stuff. Don't worry. In this guide, we'll walk you through it step-by-step so you can get back to building.
What you need before we begin:
Domains, DNS, and records... it sounds like heavy "tech ninja" stuff. Don't worry. In this guide, we'll walk you through it step-by-step so you can get back to building.
What you need before we begin:
- A GetWealthStack account.
- A custom domain purchased from a registrar (like Namecheap, GoDaddy, or Cloudflare).
- Access to the DNS settings of that registrar.
Step 1: Add your domain to GetWealthStack
First, we need to tell our system which domain you want to use.
Step 2: Copy your CNAME Records
Once you click save, a pop-up will appear with two lines of code. These are called CNAME records. Think of them as the "keys" that tell your domain registrar that GetWealthStack has permission to host your website.
Leave this pop-up open in GetWealthStack for a moment, because you'll need to copy these values in the next step.
First, we need to tell our system which domain you want to use.
- Log in to your GetWealthStack dashboard.
- Click on your profile picture in the top right corner and go to Settings.
- In the left-hand menu, click on Custom Domains.
- Click the Add Domain button.
- Enter your domain name. Important: Always use www. for your domain name (for example: www.yourcompany.com).
- Click Save.
Step 2: Copy your CNAME Records
Once you click save, a pop-up will appear with two lines of code. These are called CNAME records. Think of them as the "keys" that tell your domain registrar that GetWealthStack has permission to host your website.
Leave this pop-up open in GetWealthStack for a moment, because you'll need to copy these values in the next step.
Step 3: Update your DNS Settings (at your registrar)
Now, let's head over to the backend of where you bought your domain (e.g., Namecheap or GoDaddy).
- Log in to your domain registrar and find the DNS Settings (or DNS Management) for your domain.
- You are going to add two new records. For both, select the type: CNAME.
The First Record:
- Name / Host: Copy the first part from GetWealthStack. (Often, this is just www).
- Value / Target: Copy the long string of characters from GetWealthStack.
The Second Record:
- Name / Host: Copy the first part of the second record from GetWealthStack (everything before your actual domain name).
- Value / Target: Copy the second long string of characters.
- Save your DNS settings.
EXAMPLE: In our case it should look like this:
Our first CNAME:
- Name (Host): www
- Target (Value): d7wm4tp1e0yqw.cloudfront.net
Our second CNAME:
- Name (Host): _ea4dc139d4e9d28dc9a6dae32e051e68
- Target (Value): _6692dfb4c0a26fe47a4b40db89dc2687.wsqgzrdths.acm-validations.aws.
(The records above are examples; you must add your own values).
Note: To check your records, you must enter the full CNAME name (including your domain name) into the search bar.
The indicators should all be green, like the example below. If not, the records have not been entered correctly. You need to review your DNS:
Notes:
- It can take between 24 and 48 hours for the DNS Records to fully propagate.
- Sometimes your host may not be able to record your CNAMEs due to a conflict with another DNS. At this point, you should contact your hosting provider to identify what the conflicting record is for and ask if it is safe to remove it.
Step 4: Grab a coffee (The Propagation phase)
You did the heavy lifting! Now it's the internet's turn.It takes a little time for your new DNS settings to update across servers worldwide. We call this propagation.
- In your GetWealthStack dashboard, your domain status will now say "Pending validation".
- This process usually takes 30 minutes to a few hours, but in rare cases, it can take up to 24 hours.
Once the status in your dashboard changes to "Ready to use", your domain is successfully connected, and we will immediately generate a free, secure SSL certificate (the green padlock) for you.
You are fully set up and ready to build on your own brand!
