Getting Started With Ivorey™ Domains

Before you steam ahead setting up your domains, here's some good-to-know information that will ensure you understand how domains work in Ivorey™, and which ones you might need.

What kinds of domains can I connect in Ivorey™?

There are multiple domain connections available inside of Ivorey™:

  • Website/Main Domain (recommended) - A domain to use for any websites, funnels, online stores or blogs you build in Ivorey™ (e.g. yourdomain.com). This will also be the base for any subdomains created (e.g. mail.yourdomain.com, or members.yourdomain.com). You can connect a domain you already own, or purchase a new one.

  • Email Sending Domain (recommended) - A dedicated subdomain used to send your emails through (e.g. mail.yourdomain.com). No one will actually see this domain, but it allows you to improve your long-term email deliverability and domain reputation.

  • Branded Domain (optional) - A custom subdomain to use for your Ivorey™ calendars, forms and invoice links, instead of using the generic URL's that the system generates.

  • Client Portal Domain (optional) - A custom subdomain to use for your client portal (e.g. clients.yourdomain.com or members.yourdomain.com), instead of using the semi-custom URL that the system generates.

Frequently Asked Questions About Domains

What should you use your main domain for in Ivorey™?

If you're building a website on Ivorey™, it is best practice to connect it to your main domain. You can also use the same main domain for all of your funnels, online store and blog - as long as they are all built in Ivorey™.

Note: Your main domain should NOT be connected to your client portal URL, your branded domain, or your dedicated email sending domain - these should all be setup as NEW sub-domains.
