In this article you will learn how to add a custom domain to Converdy and validate it.
1) Add your domain to Converdy
2) Connect it using DNS records
3) Verify your connection in Converdy
Let's get started!
For this tutorial we will use a root domain- testdomains.nl and a subdomain- www.testdomains.nl
To setup your domain, start by going to Converdy. Look for +Domain and add your domain.
Decide whether you want to add ROOT domain and/or SUBDOMAIN (www)
Setting up a root domain is not required if that domain is live somewhere else. In that case you can setup subdomain only. Both can co exist but we do not set an A record in that case but only CNAME record for the subdomain.
CONNECTING A ROOT DOMAIN
Domain: testdomains.nl
Record type: A
The main part of your domain such as testdomains should point to Converdy's IP address 76.76.21.21
You can find the instructions in the Converdy dashboard.
Copy the Value (IP address) and go to your GoDaddy DNS register.
Host: @
Points to: 76.76.21.21
Save your settings and you are done with setting up your ROOT domain.
Now, let's go back to Converdy dashboard and check if our connection is successful and the domain is validated.
Click on Check. If you've set up everything correctly, you will see Valid which means that we were able to verify that the root domain is pointing to our IP address.
CONNECTING A SUBDOMAIN
Domain: www.testdomains.nl
Record type: CNAME
Anything extra in front of your root domain such as www.testdomains.nl should point to alias.converdy.com.
To find information we require to set up our subdomain head over to Converdy dashboard.
Copy the Value and head back to your GoDaddy DNS register.
Host: www
Points to: alias.converdy.com
Click Save and head back to Converdy to check your connection.
If all of the steps were followed correctly, your subdomain should be valid. Click Check and voila, you have successfully connected your subdomain!
You can now publish on your domain. Head over to your wanted funnel, click Publish, another click on the domain name, and select your custom domain from the list. Hit publish and your are all set!
