If you're unsure about your domain provider, check your email for a receipt or confirmation from when you purchased your domain. This information will help you locate the correct provider and access your domain settings.

Step 2: Add the Proper Records to your Domain Provider

Once you've identified your domain provider, follow the corresponding link below to access detailed, step-by-step instructions for connecting your domain to CoachIQ:

Request a Custom Domain in Your CoachIQ Website Builder

  1. Navigate to your website builder's backend

Add DNS Records to Connect the Domain

  1. Log in to your domain registrar

  2. Locate the DNS records or DNS settings section

  3. If your domain is currently connected to another website:

    • Remove the A record with the name "@"

    • Remove the CNAME record with the name "www"

  4. Add new DNS records:

    • A Record:

      • Type: A

      • Name: @ (or your domain name if "@" isn't allowed)

      • Value: 76.76.21.21

    • CNAME Record:

      • Type: CNAME

      • Name: www

      • Value: website-v1.coachiq.io

Step 3: Notify CoachIQ to Complete the Connection

After adding the DNS records, send the domain name you’ve connected to the CoachIQ support team or your account manager. They will:

  • Add the domain on their end in Vercel.

  • Update it in the website builder.

  • Accept the changes to complete the connection.

Tips and Best Practices

  • Make sure to double-check your DNS record entries to avoid any typos or errors

  • If you're unsure about any step, don't hesitate to reach out to your domain registrar or website builder's support team for assistance

Tip: If you're using a less common domain provider, or if your provider isn't listed above, reach out for personal assistance


Frequently Asked Questions

What if I don't have a domain yet?
