How to Connect Your Domain to Sparkforge

Connecting a domain to Sparkforge keeps your branded URL consistent across funnels, websites, stores, email, white-label portals, and WordPress hosting. There are two paths: automatic Domain Connect for supported registrars, and manual DNS records for everyone else.

Option 1: Automatic Domain Connect

Use this if your domain is at GoDaddy, Google Domains, or Cloudflare.

1. Go to Sites → Settings → Domains.
2. Click Connect a Domain.
3. Pick the product to connect (funnel, website, store, email, etc.).
4. Enter your root domain or subdomain. Add the www subdomain at the same time if you want.
5. Click Authorize when the button appears.
6. Complete the authorization on your registrar’s site — Domain Connect adds the DNS records for you.
7. Close the registrar tab and return to Sparkforge.

Option 2: Manual DNS records

Use this for Namecheap, Bluehost, Squarespace, or any registrar without Domain Connect.

1. Go to Sites → Settings → Domains.
2. Click Connect a Domain and pick the product.
3. Enter the domain.
4. Click Add records manually.
5. Copy the A, CNAME, and TXT records Sparkforge provides.
6. Sign in to your registrar’s DNS settings.
7. Add each record exactly as shown, save, and wait for DNS to propagate (up to 24 hours).

What you can connect a domain to

Funnel, website, store, webinar, or blog

Host customer-facing pages on your own domain. SSL provisions automatically once DNS is correct.

WordPress

If you’re on Sparkforge’s WordPress hosting, point the domain at your WordPress site with the provided DNS records. Sparkforge auto-detects and validates once DNS is in place.

Email

A connected domain with SPF, DKIM, and DMARC authenticates your email and improves deliverability.

Branded white-label domain

Connect a domain to white-label your sub-account or SaaS surface. This replaces the default .hlpages.co URLs with your own brand.

Client portal

Use a custom domain to host the client-facing portal so reports, campaigns, and assets all live under your brand.

Tips

• DNS can take a few minutes up to 24 hours to propagate.
• SSL provisions automatically once the records are correct.
• Manage every connected domain under Settings → Domains.
• If a domain stays Pending past 24 hours, double-check the DNS values before contacting support.
