Supported Hosts
Before adding your domain to ClickFunnels, you need to add a CNAME record in your domain host to use it in your funnel(s). To do that, you can check the list below to follow specific instructions of the registrars supported by ClickFunnels.
Please keep in mind that if you point your root domain (for example: yoursite.com) to ClickFunnels, you will ONLY be able to use it in ClickFunnels. If you want to connect a subdomain (visit.mysite.com), instead, please check this tutorial here.

Not Supported Hosts
If you do not see your registrar listed above, we recommend reaching out to your registrar for support. Our support agents will only be able to provide general instructions on how to point your domain to ClickFunnels.
Now, you can follow the general directions below, intended to assist with the CNAME record creation. For the simplest, step-by-step setup, we recommend using Cloudflare instead. If you want to try and add the CNAME record to your existing domain, you can use these general instructions.
1. Navigate to your DNS Records from within your domain registrar.
Depending on your Host, this may be in an Advanced Zone Editor, DNS Records, or somewhere else entirely.
2. Add/Edit a CNAME record.
3. Type @ in the Name field or leave it blank.
4. Type target.clickfunnels.com in the Points To or Value field.
Some domain hosts use different labels for the name and value fields.
5. Save changes.
Once you add the CNAME record, you can consult the record propagation here. If it is still not propagating, please contact your Registrar's Support for assistance.
*Important Note: Please keep in mind that for supported and not supported registrars, it can take 24-48 hours for DNS Records to fully propagate.
