Setting up the DNS for a Custom Domain:

1. Login to your domain provider’s website. (eg. godaddy.com, bluehost.com, hover.com, etc...).

2. Go to the DNS management area. This is different depending on who your provider is but typically you’ll find it in a menu.

For godaddy.com:

1. Login and go to the domain manager. https://dcc.godaddy.com/domains?showAdvanceListView=true

2. Select the domain settings for the appropriate domain

3. Select Manage DNS

4. If there is already a CNAME record for www, then edit it (click the pencil icon). Otherwise select Add:

  • Host: Enter “www” (do not enter the quotes)

  • Points to: Enter “@” or "example.com". Based on your provider @ may need to be your domain name (again, do not enter the quotes)

  • The TTL field can be left alone

  • Click the Save button

5. If there is already an A record then edit it (click the pencil icon). You should only have one A record.

  • Host: Enter "@" or "example.com" (depends on provider, don't copy quotes)

  • Value: 15.197.204.149

  • Don't need to change TTL field

  • Click Save Button

Note: You must use default Nameservers in order for this to work.

For other domains providers:

The steps for other domain providers will be similar to godaddy.com. You will need to do two things:

Some domain providers allow you to use a CNAME record for the root domain but most do not (as it is not a valid domain instruction).

Having Trouble?

If you are having issues editing your DNS settings through your domain provider please contact your domain provider for assistance.

In your TeamLinkt Organization account:

Website Builder:

  1. Go to the Website tab in the left side navigation > then click Builder

  2. Click Site Settings at the top

  3. Under the Site Info tab, enter your domain for the Custom Domain field.

    **Exclude https:// and www. Only include your domain e.g. "example.com"

You should allow up to 48 hours for the changes to propagate around the world but often it takes less than a couple of hours.

Once you have successfully connected a custom domain, you will need to reach out to help@teamlinkt.com and request an SSL certificate.
