Connecting your custom domain to CoachIQ is an essential step in creating a professional and branded experience for your coaching clients.
To get started, you need to determine where your domain is currently hosted. Some of the most common domain providers include:
GoDaddy
Bluehost
Wix

Other providers

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:
Navigate to your website builder's backend
Click on "Settings"
Click "Need a custom domain"
Add your domain with or without "www." in front of it
Click "Request custom domain"
A pop-up will appear confirming the request

If you don't have a domain yet, you can purchase one from any of the popular domain providers mentioned above. Once you have your domain, follow the instructions in this guide to connect it to your CoachIQ account.
After updating your domain settings, it may take up to 48 hours for the changes to propagate across the internet. During this time, your domain may not consistently redirect to your CoachIQ site. Be patient, and if the issue persists after 48 hours, reach out to CoachIQ support for assistance.
