How to connect your own domain

Before you start

• Own domains are part of iwopo’s top plan.
• Decide the address: a subdomain such as clients.yourstudio.com is easiest and keeps your main website untouched.
• In iwopo, open Settings → Web address, type the address and press Connect. iwopo shows the exact record to add — keep that screen open.

GoDaddy

• Sign in → My Products → next to your domain choose DNS.
• Add New Record → Type: A.
• Name: the first part (e.g. clients). Value: the address from iwopo. Save.

Namecheap

• Domain List → Manage next to your domain → Advanced DNS.
• Add New Record → A Record.
• Host: the first part (e.g. clients). Value: the address from iwopo. Save (the green tick).

Hostinger

• hPanel → Domains → your domain → DNS / Nameservers.
• Under Manage DNS records choose Type: A.
• Name: the first part (e.g. clients). Points to: the address from iwopo. Add Record.

Squarespace Domains (including former Google Domains)

• Domains → your domain → DNS → DNS Settings.
• Custom records → Add record → Type: A.
• Host: the first part (e.g. clients). Data: the address from iwopo. Save.

Cloudflare

• Your domain → DNS → Records → Add record → Type: A.
• Name: the first part (e.g. clients). IPv4 address: the address from iwopo.
• Set Proxy status to DNS only (grey cloud), then Save — iwopo fits the padlock itself.

Any other company

Look for “DNS”, “DNS records” or “Zone editor” next to your domain and add an A record with the name and value iwopo shows. If you are using your main domain (yourstudio.com) rather than a subdomain, iwopo shows two records: one named @ and one named www.

After you add the record

• iwopo checks every few minutes — there is nothing else to press.
• New records usually appear within minutes, sometimes a few hours.
• When it is ready, iwopo adds the padlock (https), switches your domain on and emails you. From then on every link your clients receive uses your domain.
