Configuring Subdomains for Your Platform

In this guide, I'll walk you through the steps to configure subdomains effectively.

Begin by selecting the Add New Domain option located at the upper right corner of the screen. When the dialog box appears, you'll need to enter the desired subdomain name – in this case, we’ll use promo.whitelabelguides.com. Since this is a subdomain, an "A" record is unnecessary, but a CNAME record must be added. This straightforward three-step process allows you to activate a newly created funnel. To start, click on Settings on the left-hand menu, and then navigate to Domains in the new menu that appears. Before you hit Add, be sure to copy the red-highlighted URL and switch over to your domain registrar.

We’re demonstrating this with GoDaddy, though the process will be quite similar across most domain registrars. Go to the DNS Management section for your domain. Click Add and select CNAME from the dropdown menu. In the Host field, enter the part of your subdomain that comes before the dot. For this example, we’ll input “promo.” Next, paste the copied URL into the Points To field on your registrar's page. To speed up the process, reduce the time in the TTL dropdown. Click Save when you’re finished.

Return to your platform and click Add.

It might take a few attempts to succeed, as the CNAME needs time to propagate. Once it’s completed, you’ll receive a success notification indicating that the subdomain has been successfully added. Finally, choose the previously created funnel from the dropdown list and click Link Domain to complete the process.
