Your Fitune account comes with a free Fitune subdomain that you can customize
e.g. myfitune.io/yourbrand

However, if you want to use your a custom website domain instead of your myfitune.io subdomain -- something like www.mydomain.com -- we make that easy, too! 😃

If you already have your own domain name, skip ahead to Step 2.

If you don't already have a domain name, you'll need to buy one. We recommend GoDaddy, is affordable and easy to manage.

To set up your custom domain, go to Fitune website > Domain settings. and enter the custom domain you'd like your Fitune Website to live on and click on Continue.

Then you see a CNAME value (DNS Target), copy that value and proceed with step 3

Login to your domain admin and add a CNAME record for the domain you plan to use on Fitune.

The process will vary from domain admins, but, overall, it would still be pretty similar. These are the values you should add:

Host / Name / Subdomain: www (if you'd like to use a root www.yourdomain.com)

OR

classes, academy, Online (that will depend on the subdomain you'd like to use, such as: classes.yourdomain.com, academy.yourdomain.com, online.yourdomain.com, etc)

Target or Value / Points To: paste the CNAME value (DNS) provided by Fitune at your admin (refer to step 2) (do NOT change this to your Fitune subdomain)

TLL: keep the "default" option

Example:
Here's how it would look like if you'd like to connect a domain such as www.yourdomain.com to Fitune:

And here's how it would look like if you'd like to connect a domain such as academy.yourdomain.com to Fitune:

Here are instructions on how to set up CNAME records in some of the most popular domain admins:

Add a new CNAME record.

Host/Name: www (if you'd like to use a root www.yourdomain.com) OR

classes, academy, online (that will depend on the subdomain you'd like to use, such as: classes.yourdomain.com, academy.yourdomain.com, online.yourdomain.com, etc)

Points to: paste the CNAME value (DNS) provided by Fitune at your admin (refer to step 2) (do NOT change this)

Add a new CNAME record.

Hostname: www (if you'd like to use a root www.yourdomain.com) OR

classes, academy, online (that will depend on the subdomain you'd like to use, such as: classes.yourdomain.com, academy.yourdomain.com, online.yourdomain.com, etc)

Target Name: paste the CNAME value (DNS) provided by Fitune at your admin (refer to step 2) (do NOT change this)

Add a new CNAME record.

Sub-domain: www (if you'd like to use a root www.yourdomain.com) OR

classes, academy, online (that will depend on the subdomain you'd like to use, such as: classes.yourdomain.com, academy.yourdomain.com, online.yourdomain.com, etc)

Target Name: paste the CNAME value (DNS) provided by Fitune at your admin (refer to step 2) (do NOT change this)

Note: OVH requires a period at the end of the link being pointed to. In that, case, you would enter: paste the CNAME value (DNS) provided by Fitune at your admin and add a .

Add a new CNAME record.

Name: www (if you'd like to use a root www.yourdomain.com) OR

classes, academy, online (that will depend on the subdomain you'd like to use, such as: classes.yourdomain.com, academy.yourdomain.com, online.yourdomain.com, etc)

Target: paste the CNAME value (DNS) provided by Fitune at your admin (refer to step 2) (do NOT change this)

Note: Make sure to change Proxy Status from Proxied to DNS Only

After you've created your CNAME, you need to wait until the SSL STATUS on fitune domain page shows "OK" in green, usually your custom domain name will be ready in 24-48 hours.

If you want to be sure that everything is okay send us a message in the chat or via email and include a screenshot of your DNS settings within your admin hosting company. We will be happy to verify if everything is correct!

P.S. even if you're using a custom domain, your Fitune website will be safe and secure, as we provide a free SSL certificate to all Fitune customers.

Here's a list of common domain registrars and instructions for setting up a CNAME:

A note on custom domains connected with 'www' as the CNAME

If you would like to have access to your site via the non-www version of your address you will need to set up a redirect or forward with your domain registrar in order to indicate that the non-www version should load the www version of your site.

For example, if you connected your custom domain to Fitune with www.mywebsite.com, you would need to go into your domain registrar and set up a redirect for mywebsite.com to direct to www.mywebsite.com.

If your domain provider requires an IP address for a redirect or forward, we highly recommend using something like Naked SSL.

It's free for a single domain and they'll provide an A record/ IP address that you can add for the redirect that will work for your Fitune website! 🙌

Here is a step-by-step guide to set up NakedSSL with your www domain. (Pending)

Fitune does not directly host your web domain. What we do to connect your custom domain to Fitune is to set up a CNAME record pointing to your Fitune website.

With that said, it would be imperative to keep up an active domain package with your domain registrar to be able to fully link it to your Fitune website.
