How to connect custom domain to your Click site?

Looking to give your Click site a personal touch with a custom domain? Here's how you can set it up in a few straightforward steps:

Steps

1. Log in to your Click dashboard

Go to https://web.clickme.club (opens in a new tab) and log in to your account.

2. Access the Site Settings

Once logged in, navigate to site settings on left menu.

3. Navigate to the Domains section

In the left menu of the Site Settings page, you'll find an option labelled 'Domains'. Click on it.

4. Connect Your Custom Domain

On the Domains page, you'll see a section labelled "Already have a domain?".

Click on the 'Connect' button located in this section.

When prompted, input your domain name. Remember, don't include 'http://' or 'https://'. For instance, if your domain is 'https://www.sample.com (opens in a new tab)', simply enter 'sample.com'.

5. Update DNS Settings at Your Domain Provider

Your domain provider is the platform or service from which you purchased your domain (e.g., GoDaddy, BigRock).

After entering your domain name in Click, you'll be provided with 'A record' values. You'll need to update these values in the DNS settings of your domain provider.

DNS Settings Update Steps:

Locate the DNS or Domain Management section in your domain provider's dashboard. This is where you can make changes to domain-related settings.

Find and select the option to modify your 'A record'.

Update the 'A record' with the following details:

- Type: A
- Host: @
- Points to: 34.93.141.245
- TTL: 1 hour

  2. Navigate to the My Products section.
  3. Next to the domain you want to edit, click DNS.
  4. In the Records section, look for the existing A record. (If one doesn't exist, you'll add a new one; if one does exist, you'll modify it.)
  5. For the A record:

Host: Enter "@"
Points to: Enter "34.93.141.245"
TTL: Choose "1 hour" (or the nearest equivalent)

Points to: Enter "34.93.141.245"
TTL: Choose "3600 seconds" (equivalent to 1 hour)

  1. Click Save.

Note: The location of the DNS settings might differ based on the provider. Generally, it's in the domain management or similar section.

6. Finalize the Connection

After updating the DNS settings at your domain provider, return to your Click dashboard.

Click on 'Connect Domain'.

Within a few minutes, your custom domain will be connected to your Click site.

7. Troubleshooting

Please remember that DNS propagation (the time it takes for the change to reflect worldwide) can sometimes take a while, often up to 24 hours, even if you set the TTL to 1 hour. If you're unsure about the changes, or if something seems amiss, don't hesitate to contact the respective domain provider's support team.

If you encounter any issues, use the DNS Checker tool at https://dnschecker.org/ (opens in a new tab).

Enter your custom domain and hit 'Search'.

The results should display the IP address 34.93.141.245. If it does, your domain is correctly connected to Click.
