How to Connect a GoDaddy Domain Name to Systeme.io – Step by Step

Howto & Style

Introduction

In this article, we will guide you through the process of connecting your GoDaddy domain name to your Systeme.io account. By following these steps, you will be able to ensure that when someone types in your domain name, it will resolve to either your sales funnel page or your website page created within Systeme.io. Let's get started!

Step 1: Prerequisites

Before we begin, there are two prerequisites that need to be met:

  1. You must have already purchased a domain name using GoDaddy.
  2. You need to have an account with Systeme.io.

Please note that if you have purchased a domain name using either Google Domains or Namecheap, you will need to refer to a different guide to connect your domain name to your Systeme.io account.

Step 2: Configuring Your Domain in Systeme.io

  1. Login to your Systeme.io account and go to your profile on the top right. From the drop-down menu, select "Settings."
  2. In the settings menu, select "Custom Domains" on the left-hand side.
  3. Click on the "Add Domain" button in the bottom right corner.
  4. Enter your domain name, making sure to include "www" before the actual domain name. This is how your name will resolve within Systeme.io.
  5. Click "Save" to add the custom domain to your account.

Systeme.io will now provide you with CNAME records that need to be configured in your GoDaddy account.

Step 3: Configuration in GoDaddy

  1. Log in to your GoDaddy account and select the domain you wish to configure.
  2. In the domain settings, select "Manage DNS" on the left-hand side.
  3. Scroll down and check if there are any existing CNAME records for your domain. If not, you can click on "Add" at the top to create a new one.
  4. Copy the CNAME values provided by Systeme.io for the "www" record.
  5. Paste the CNAME values into the corresponding fields in the GoDaddy DNS settings.
  6. Set the "Time to Live (TTL)" to one hour.
  7. Save the DNS settings.

Repeat steps 4-7 for any additional CNAME records provided by Systeme.io.

Step 4: Configuring Domain Forwarding

  1. In GoDaddy, select "Forwarding" in the domain settings.
  2. If you don't already have forwarding set up, click "Add Forwarding" and enter the following details:
    • Type: "https"
    • Forward to: Your domain name within Systeme.io
    • Forward type: "Permanent"
    • Save the forwarding settings.

Note: If you already have forwarding set up, click "Edit" and make sure the "https" option is selected and the domain name is correct.

Wait for the changes to propagate, which may take up to 72 hours. Meanwhile, you can use a DNS checker like dnschecker.org to verify if your DNS settings have been updated globally.

Step 5: Assigning Your Domain to a Page in Systeme.io

Now that your domain is configured, you need to assign it to either a funnel page or a blog post within Systeme.io.

Assigning to a Blog Post:

  1. Go to your Systeme.io account and select your blog site.
  2. Under "Blog Settings," enter your domain name in the "Blog Domain" field, making sure there is no text after the forward slash.
  3. Save the settings.

Assigning to a Funnel:

  1. Select the funnel you want to assign the domain to.
  2. In the funnel settings, enter your domain name in the "Funnel Domain" field.
  3. Save the settings.

Please note that you should only assign your domain to either a blog post or a funnel, not both.
