Custom Domain for your Fitbudd website

If you’ve purchased a custom domain and wish to point it to your existing Fitbudd website follow the instructions below. The instructions below use GoDaddy as an example, but similar steps apply to all Domain providers, if you have difficulty applying these instructions for your Domain provider please get in touch with us for updated instructions.

It’s possible that your domain (@ as well as www) is already mapped. This happens with certain providers like GoDaddy which have default entries for @ and www out of the box (see the image below), or if you had a website previously and hence had to add entries yourself. In such cases, these pre-existing entries for @ and www need to be removed first before following the steps below.

In this part, you will be pointing your purchased domain to the Fitbudd infrastructure

1. Log in to your Domain Provider’s website and head over to the page that lists all your purchased domains (in GoDaddy it is the Domains page)

2. Select the Domain you want to point to your Fitbudd website and choose the “Manage DNS” option (on GoDaddy you should land on a page that looks as shown below)

3. Select the “ADD” option and in the form that opens up:

a. Choose “Type” as A

b. Set “Host” (or “Name”) to "@"

c. Set “Points to” to 54.235.131.162

And click “Save” (for GoDaddy refer to the pic below)

4. Repeat Step 3 once more, this time set the “Host” to www
​

a. Choose “Type” as A

b. Set “Host” (or “Name”) to "www"

c. Set “Points to” to 54.235.131.162

5. Take a screenshot of the 2 new entries that you just added. Provide this screenshot to us in Part 2 so we can verify that both entries are correct (on GoDaddy the screenshot would look something like the pic below)

In this part, Fitbudd will generate security credentials for your new URL so customers can make payments on your website safely and securely.

[Please note this option is available only on the Gold Plan]
