Create CNAME entry

To fully link the domain to Perspective, you need to create a CNAME record with your domain registrar. Only then will the funnels be accessible on this linked domain.

1. Log in to the account https://www.strato.de/apps/CustomerService

2. Switch to the “Domains” > “Domainverwaltung” area and click on the cogwheel

3. Click on “DNS” for your domain

4. Click on “Manage” under "TXT und CNAME Records inklusive SPF- und DKIM-Einstellungen"

5. Scroll down and click on "+ Weiteren Record erstellen"

6. Now select “CNAME Eintrag ändern”, enter “cname.perspective-dns.com.” in the form field, check the box to confirm and click on “Einstellungen übernehmen” (please note the dot at the end of the CNAME)

Präfix: Hier trägst du den Subdomain-Part deiner Domain (das ist der Part vor dem ersten Punkt also termin bei termin.domain.com) ein

Type: CNAME

Wert: cname.perspective-dns.com.

7. The CNAME entry was successfully created

8. Check the status of the domain or call up the instructions again

Note 💡

Depending on the domain provider, the recognition of the CNAME entry takes up to 24 hours and thus also the waiting time until the funnel becomes visible on your domain.

Set up redirection

If you want to use your domain without the subdomain part (e.g. domain.com instead of www.domain.com), you must set up a forwarding for this.

1. switch to the “Domains” > “Domainverwaltung” area

2. Change the redirection destination settings and save your changes

Bestehendes Umleitungsziel: extern

Umleitungsziel: "https://www.domain.com" (replace www.domain.com with your own domain name i.e. funnel.domain.com)

Umleitungstyp: Permanente Weiterleitung 301

3. The forwarding was set up successfully

Note 💡

Please note that our SSL certificate only works for the linked domain (www.domain.com). You therefore need a separate SSL certificate for the root domain (domain.com). If this certificate is missing, security warnings can be generated by the browser as soon as a funnel is called.

Here you can find instructions on how to activate an SSL certificate at Strato and then set it up for your domain.
