This guide walks you through how to connect either your main domain or a subdomain to Ivorey™, depending on whether you have an existing external website you'd like to keep live.
Important: If you have an existing website you want to keep live (e.g. hosted on a third party platform), do NOT connect your main domain here. Instead, use a subdomain (e.g. offers.yourdomain.com), or wait until you're ready for your old site to become unpublished.

To connect your main domain or subdomain to Ivorey™ for use with websites, funnels, blogs, and online stores:
From the Ivorey™ main menu, go to [Settings] > [Domains]
Click [+ Connect a Domain]
Select the Funnel/Website/Store/Blog/Webinar tab
Click [Connect →]
In the Domain field, enter either:
Your main domain (e.g. yourdomain.com) if you are ready to fully migrate to Ivorey™
A subdomain (e.g. offers.yourdomain.com) if you have an external website you want to keep live
If connecting your main domain, toggle ON “I also want to add www.yourdomain.com
Click [Continue]
Depending on your domain provider, either:
Click [Continue] to update DNS records automatically, or
Click [Add Record Manually], then update the DNS records in your domain host (e.g. GoDaddy)
Once the records are added, return to Ivorey™ and click [Verify Records]
After your domain is connected and verified:
Click [Manage] next to your domain
Click the three dots [...] and select [Edit]
Choose your Default Page from your published websites or funnels (e.g. a homepage or coming soon page)
Click [Save]
To use this domain across your sites:
Go to [Site Pages]
Select the relevant tab from the top (e.g. Funnels, Websites, Blogs)
Click into the page you want to publish
Go to the [Settings] tab
Choose your connected domain from the dropdown
Set the Path URL (e.g. /link-in-bio)
Click [Save]
Your full URL will be your domain + path, e.g. yourdomain.com/link-in-bio
If you need help, share the records with your domain provider’s support team — they can usually add them for you and clear any conflicting entries or add them for you, just give them the details from within your Ivorey DNS setup window at this step!
