This guide is perfect if you're looking to:
Understand the different ways you can set up a domain in Ivorey™
Determine which domain setup option will work best for you
Option 1: Point Your Domain to Ivorey™ (Most Common)
This is the most popular and recommended setup. You keep your domain hosted with your current provider (such as GoDaddy or Google Domains), but use it for your Ivorey™ website, funnels, or blog.
What this means:
You do not transfer the domain
You continue paying your original provider for hosting
You simply add a few DNS records into your existing provider’s settings (we’ll give you those)
Once complete, your Ivorey™ website/funnels will display when someone visits your domain
Best for:
Members who already have a domain and want to get started quickly
Users who are happy with their current domain provider
Avoiding downtime on other systems connected to your domain
Option 2: Transfer Your Domain to Ivorey™
If you’d like Ivorey™ to manage your domain entirely, you can transfer your domain to our platform.
What this means:
You move your domain hosting from your existing provider to Ivorey™
Ivorey™ will manage DNS and billing going forward
You will pay domain hosting fees through Ivorey™
Best for:
Those looking to manage everything in one place
Simplifying billing and support
Starting fresh with a new setup or consolidating from a previous provider
Important: Domain transfers can take 24–48 hours to complete. Your DNS settings may also need to be reconfigured after the transfer is complete.
Option 3: Purchase a New Domain Through Ivorey™
If you don’t yet have a domain, you can purchase one directly through Ivorey™.
What this means:
You search, purchase, and manage your domain directly in your Ivorey™ account
You’ll be able to set it up immediately with any Ivorey™ website, funnel, or branded asset
Domain hosting fees will apply and be managed through your Ivorey™ billing
Best for:
Members who are just getting started
Those looking to set up a brand-new online presence
Managing everything from one platform
Note: If you’re seeing delays or SSL errors, allow some time before retrying or refreshing your page. If any issues persist after 72 hours, please contact support and we'll help you get connected!

Frequently Asked Questions

I transferred my domain to Ivorey™ but need help setting it up
If your domain has already been transferred to Ivorey™, you do not need to contact external providers like Cloudflare. Our support team can help guide you with:
Confirming the transfer
Setting up DNS records
Assigning the domain to your site
Just open the Ivorey™ chat widget, and our team will help you get everything configured.
What if I have other websites still live on my current domain?
What if I have other websites still live on my current domain?
If you're using your main domain for an existing external website (like on WordPress, Wix, etc.), do not connect your main domain to Ivorey™. Instead:
Use a subdomain like offername.yourdomain.com or servicename.yourdomain.com.
This allows you to keep your external website running, while still using Ivorey™ for new assets to operate on your back end. It's the best of both worlds, and allows you to either migrate a website at your pace, or keep your existing site.
What happens if I’ve transferred my domain to Ivorey™?
What happens if I’ve transferred my domain to Ivorey™?
If your domain was transferred to Ivorey™, you can manage it directly in your dashboard under Settings > Domains. From there, you can assign it to your funnels or websites, and Ivorey™ will handle all hosting.
What happens to any remaining time on my domain when transferring it to Ivorey™?
What happens to any remaining time on my domain when transferring it to Ivorey™?
When you transfer your domain to Ivorey, all remaining time on your existing domain registration carries over. Nothing is lost.
As part of the transfer process, you simply pay for one additional year of renewal which is a standard requirement. That extra year is added on top of your current expiration date, extending your domain by a full year beyond what you already had with your previous provider.
In short, your domain stays intact, all existing years are kept, and you gain one extra year during the transfer. Typical is $12–$20/year.
Tip: If your domain has expired or is close to expiring, make sure to renew it before starting the transfer, otherwise you may lose ownership.
If I’m transferring my domain to GoDaddy, what do I need?
If I’m transferring my domain to GoDaddy, what do I need?
To transfer your domain to GoDaddy, you first need to ensure your domain is unlocked within Ivorey. You will also need an Authorisation Code (EPP Code) to provide to GoDaddy to verify the transfer. Please reach out to us via the Ivorey™ chat widget. Our support team will assist you in unlocking the domain and generating your authorisation code for a smooth transition.
