If you’ve purchased a custom domain and wish to point it to your existing fitbudd website follow the instructions below. The instructions below use GoDaddy as an example, but similar steps apply for all Domain providers, if you have difficulty applying these instructions for your Domain provider please get in touch with us for updated instructions.

<aside> ⚠️ Note: these instructions are intended when you want your main domain (eg. something.com and www.something.com) to point to your Fitbudd website. If you want to map only a subdomain (eg. store.something.com) to point to your Fitbudd website, please follow the instructions here instead

Prerequisite

It’s possible that your domain (@ as well as www) are already mapped. In such cases these pre-existing entries for @ and www need to be removed first before following the steps below.

Part 1

In this part you will be pointing your purchased domain to the Fitbudd infrastructure

  1. Login to your Domain Provider’s website and head over the page that lists all your purchased domains (in GoDaddy it is the Domains page)
  2. Select the Domain you want to point to your Fitbudd website and choose the “Manage DNS” option (on GoDaddy you should land on a page that looks as shown below)

  1. Select the “ADD” option and in the form that opens up:

    1. Choose “Type” as A
    2. Set “Host” (or “Name”) to @
    3. Set “Points to” to 54.235.131.162

    And click “Save” (for GoDaddy refer to the pic below)

  2. Repeat Step 3 once more, this time set the “Host” to www

  3. Take a screenshot of the 2 new entries that you just added. Provide this screenshot to us in Part 2 so we can verify that both entries are correct (on GoDaddy the screenshot would look something like the pic below)

Part 2

In this part Fitbudd will generate security credentials for your new URL so customers can make payments on your website safely and securely.

  1. Reach out to your Fitbudd Success Manager (via mail or chat) and provide them with the following:
    1. Name of the purchased domain which you mapped to Fitbudd in Part 1
    2. The screenshot of the new mappings that we took in Part 1
  2. That’s it from your side 🎉. We’ll close the loop from our side within 24 hours and issue security credentials for your new URL and revert back to you.
