How to Configure DNS for Domains Purchased in Sparkforge

When you buy a domain through Sparkforge, Sparkforge is the registrar. You manage DNS records and connect the domain to your sites without logging into a third-party host.

Where to Find Purchased Domain Settings

Open Sub-account > Settings > Domains > Purchased Domains. Click Configure next to the domain to open its settings.

Manage DNS Records

You can add, edit, and delete the following record types:

• A — point a hostname to an IPv4 address
• CNAME — alias one hostname to another
• AAAA — IPv6 equivalent of A
• MX — route email to a mail provider
• TXT — verification, SPF, DKIM, and similar records

Use only one A record when pointing the root domain. Multiple A records on the same hostname cause DNS conflicts, especially when Sparkforge auto-inserts its required A record.

Connect the Domain to a Site

1. Click Connect This Domain on the configuration screen.
2. Click Continue through the prompts.
3. Click Add Records when prompted to write the required DNS entries.
4. Select the correct site type — website, funnel, store, or blog — and click Proceed.

The domain now serves your selected site type.

Subdomains for Multiple Site Types

A single root domain can only attach to one site type at a time. To run a website and a funnel on the same brand, use subdomains such as store.yourdomain.com or blog.yourdomain.com for each surface.
