By default, websites created using the AI Website Builder are published using a QuoteIQ subdomain (e.g., yourbusiness.myquoteiq.site). But if you already own a custom domain — or want to switch to one later — you can easily connect it to your site through the AI Website dashboard.
This guide walks you through how to add a domain and go live with your own custom web address.
Step-by-Step: How To Add or Change Your Domain
Step 1 – Open the Website Dashboard
Log into your QuoteIQ account and go to the AI Website screen for the site you created. Then click Manage.
Step 2 – Click “Domains”
From the left-hand menu, select the Domains option under your site management panel.
Step 3 – Enter Your Custom Domain
Type in the domain name you already own (e.g., www.quickcutslawn.com) and click Add Domain.
Step 4 – Update Your DNS Settings
Once you submit your domain, you’ll see a confirmation message that looks like this:
✅ Domain Added Successfully
Your domain has been added. You now need to update your DNS records with your domain provider to point to QuoteIQ’s servers.
The system will display the exact DNS records you need to enter:
Type | Name | Value |
A | yourdomain.com | 34.171.105.96 |
CNAME | yourdomain.com |
Copy each value and paste them into your DNS settings at your domain registrar (GoDaddy, Namecheap, etc.).
Important:
– DNS changes can take up to 48 hours to fully propagate.
– Once complete, SSL will be issued automatically, and your site will be secure and live on your domain.
Click “Got It” to close the window after saving the instructions.
Step 5 – Done!
Once DNS changes are confirmed, your website will now be live under your custom domain. You can visit it anytime or share the new link with customers.
FAQs
Do I need to pay for hosting separately?
No. Hosting is included in your QuoteIQ website subscription. You only pay separately for the domain name you own or purchase.
Can I connect a domain I already own from another provider?
Yes. You just need to update the DNS settings at your current registrar. We’ll provide the exact values to use when you enter your domain.
Can I buy a new domain through QuoteIQ?
Not yet. For now, you’ll need to purchase your domain through a provider like GoDaddy, Namecheap, or Google Domains and then connect it.
Can I switch domains later?
Yes. You can return to the Domains section at any time to remove, update, or replace your custom domain.
