How to Add a Custom Domain to GoHighLevel (Root Domain)

Before you add a domain to your site, you’ll need to connect the domain to your GoHighLevel account.

Here’s how to add your CNAME record:

Note! For this example, we will use GoDaddy as it’s one of the most popular domain providers. Even if you’re using another provider, the steps will be almost the same, so you can follow along.

From your GoDaddy dashboard, select Domain Edit Options.
Now, click on Edit DNS.

Then, select Add.

Under the Type menu option, click on CNAME.
You’ll now need to enter the following details:
1. Name: www (or any prefix you prefer)
2. Value: This name can be found under your Connect Existing Domain settings
3. TTL: Default

Note! This can take up to 48hrs to get set up and registered.

Now that your CNAME has been set up, you can connect your existing domain.

Here’s the process:

From your GoHighLevel dashboard, select Funnels and Memberships.
Then click on the site section that you’d like to connect from the options (Funnels, Websites, and Memberships).

Note! For this example, we’re using a memberships site, but the process will be very similar for all three.

Click on Settings.
Choose Custom Domains.

You’ll then need to add your connected domain in the box.
Click Save.

Tip It can take up to 15 minutes from when you’ve entered the domain for it to work.

After 15 minutes have passed, you can test it out by entering your custom domain into your search engine, where it should show.

How to Configure Your GoHighLevel Subdomain

If you don’t want to purchase a custom domain, you can use a custom subdomain, which can be set up very quickly at no additional cost.

Here’s how:

From the GoHighLevel navigation, select Funnels and Websites.
Then, select the site that you’d like to add a subdomain to; this can be in Funnels, Websites, or the Membership section.

Note! As before, we’re going to use Membership for this example, but the process is almost identical for any of the options you choose.

Click on Settings before selecting Site Details.

In the Subdomain box, you’ll be able to enter your custom subdomain.

Note! This is only a subdomain; therefore, you will still need to add the extension to it when searching and linking to it.
