Custom domains

Custom domains let you publish your funnels, websites, stores, blogs and webinars on your own web address. You can connect a root domain or a subdomain, such as one starting with www or offers. SSL is set up automatically once the domain connects.

If a hostname already runs a website or service you need to keep, connect a different, unused subdomain instead. One hostname cannot point to two platforms at the same time.

To connect a domain:

• Go to Settings, then Domains & URL Redirects, click Connect a domain and choose the Funnel, Website, Store, Blog or Webinar option.
• Enter the root domain or subdomain. When you connect a root domain, HLB can also add the www version with a 301 redirect to the root.
• If your DNS provider is supported, click Continue, then Authorize, so Domain Connect adds the records for you. Otherwise, choose Add record manually and copy the records into your DNS provider.
• Choose the default page visitors land on and a 404 error page. An Action Required reminder appears if either is missing.

If Cloudflare manages your DNS, set the A or CNAME record to DNS only rather than proxied. Never create both an A record and a CNAME record for the same hostname. If your domain is parked at GoDaddy, remove parking first. Most changes work within minutes, but full propagation can take up to 48 hours.

Verification usually fails because of duplicate A records, leftover AAAA records, a CAA record blocking the certificate authority, mismatched DNS values or a domain already connected elsewhere. Remove the extra or conflicting records, or add pki.goog to a CAA record. Don't delete DNS records you don't recognize unless you are sure they aren't needed.

Connect your domain before you publish

Connect your own domain to an AI Studio project before its first publish, so you can set up the site address as part of your launch. Complete the DNS steps with your domain provider.
