How to connect your custom domain
Now, it's time to map your custom domain to your LimeFunnels site. To do this, you'll need to log into your domain provider (this is where you purchased your domain).
If you haven't yet purchased a domain, we recommend the following domain providers:
- GoDaddy
- Namecheap
- Google Domains
If your nameservers are pointed to CloudFlare, this means that your domain is currently hosted by CloudFlare. You can log directly into CloudFlare to take care of the following steps.
Find Your Current DNS Records
Once you're logged into your domain provider. Find the DNS records for the domain you plan on pointing to your LimeFunnels account.
These services tend to change the method of getting to your DNS screen too often for us to keep up with, so we suggest you view the specific service's documentation for assistance.
From Here you can
- Add new DNS records
- Delete DNS records
- Modify existing DNS records
Delete Old A Record(s)
Each DNS record in the list will have the following:
- Record Type
- Target (or Name)
- Value
- Other information pertaining to timeouts, etc.
You need to delete the following DNS Records:
- Any 'A' OR 'CNAME' record who's target is 'yourdomainname.com'
- Any 'A' OR 'CNAME' record who's target is 'www'
In this following example, we've marked the two lines that we would delete. Your domain may be configured slightly different, but stick to the two requirements above and everything should be fine.
Point Your Domain to LimeFunnels
Adding these two records will point your domain to the LimeFunnel's server and allow you to connect the domain.
Point the root domain record
- Click 'Add Record'
- Select Type: CNAME
- Target (or Name): yourdomain.com (where yourdomain.com is your actual domain)
- Value: w7s15ns36nhf.wpeproxy.com
Point your 'www' sub-domain record
- Click 'Add Record'
- Select Type: CNAME
- Target (or Name): www
- Value: w7s15ns36nhf.wpeproxy.com
Map Your Domain to Your LimeFunnels Site
Log into your LimeFunnels site.

In order to log into your newly mapped site, you can now use 'https://yourdomain.com/login'
