Setup Domain

WHAT YOU NEED

In order for your members to easily find your site, you will need your very own Domain Name. This will also help in your branding.

Right now, your URL or Web Address is set to your Membership Site In A Box account URL. You will want to have a web address that matches your main public website.

We recommend either having it’s own domain like https://www.mymembershipsite.com. The other option is to have a subdomain like https://members.mybusiness.com.

The other thing you will need to setup your domain is an SSL Certificate to be tied to your chosen domain name.

 

 

WHAT YOU NEED TO DO

 

Setup your Domain

To set your domain or subdomain, you will need to login to your domain provider’s panel. This would be the company you bought your domains from.

If you haven’t registered for any domain before, we suggest going to GoDaddy.com or NameCheap.com. You can choose a domain and purchase it from them.

If you’ve already purchased a domain before and would like to buy a new one for the membership site or create a subdomain, you can do so inside your panel. If you are unsure on how to do that, you can contact your Domain Provider’s Support team and they will be able to help you out.

 

Setup your SSL

Similar to setting up your domain, most providers have the ability to self-add SSL certificates to domains. You can just go ahead and find “Add certificates”.

There are free SSL and paid SSL. Either will work with your Membership Site In A Box Account.

If you are unsure how to do this, please contact your Domain Provider’s Support Team and ask to add SSL to your chosen domain.
