How to connect your LWS domain to SleepPRO™
Custom domains
Here is how to connect a domain bought at LWS, so your funnels and blog show at your own address.
First add your domain in SleepPRO™, as described in step 1 of How to connect your domain to SleepPRO™. Each domain gets its own CNAME records.
- In LWS, click Manage next to your domain.
- Scroll to Domain management and click DNS zone.
First CNAME record
- Choose CNAME.
- Enter www in Name.
- Enter the first value from SleepPRO™, ending in cloudfront.net, with the full stop at the end, in Value.
- Click Add.
A www CNAME record already there? Edit its value instead.
Second CNAME record
- Choose CNAME.
- In Name, paste the code from SleepPRO™ which comes before your domain, starting with an underscore.
- In Value, enter the second value from SleepPRO™, ending in acm-validations.aws.
- Click Add.
Check your records
Go to dnschecker.org and enter the full name of each record, including your domain. You should see your value with a green tick. If not, review your DNS settings.
Add a redirect
- Open Web redirection in your domain dashboard.
- Choose 301 (Htaccess) for a permanent redirect.
- Your domain name is filled in, such as yoursleepbusiness.com.
- Choose https:// and enter your www address, such as www.yoursleepbusiness.com.
- Click the green button to confirm.
DNS changes take 24 to 48 hours to spread fully.
If LWS will not save a record because of a conflict, usually with the first CNAME, ask LWS whether the existing record is needed or can be removed.
