Put a Lander on Its Own Domain

Show one Lander Upload at its own domain, like mybrand.com, with no slug.

This page shows you how to give one Lander Upload a domain of its own, so it opens at an address like mybrand.com with no slug.

Use it when an upload is a complete website, or when you want the shortest possible address to share.

How it differs from a page domain

Before you start

The upload needs a home page named index.html or index.htm at its top level, not in a folder. It is the page people see when they open the domain. Without it, Proferex will not connect the domain and asks you to add one first.

The upload also has to be Ready. One that is still processing cannot take a domain yet.

Connect a domain

  1. Go to Landing Pages → Lander Uploads, open the upload's ⋯ menu, and choose Domains.

    Open Domains from the upload's menu

  2. Type your domain and click Add Domain. It can be a subdomain such as lander.mybrand.com or a root domain such as mybrand.com.

  3. Add the DNS records shown at your domain provider, CNAME first. Some TXT records only appear once the CNAME is in place.

  4. Wait for the status to reach Active. The https certificate is set up for you.

The records and statuses work the same way as for a page domain. For the full walkthrough and troubleshooting, see Page Domain.

A domain can belong to only one Proferex account. If it is connected to another account, remove it there first.

How addresses work

  • Home page. mybrand.com opens the upload's top-level index.html or index.htm.
  • Other pages and files. Paths lead straight into the upload. mybrand.com/pricing opens the pricing page, and mybrand.com/images/logo.png opens that image.
  • No .html needed. mybrand.com/pricing, mybrand.com/pricing/, and mybrand.com/pricing/index.html all open the same page.

Only this upload

The domain shows this upload and nothing else. Your other uploads do not open on it, even by their slugs. They stay on your page domain, at addresses like pages.yourbrand.com/solar-savings.

Next step

Add the domain's address to a lander in the Tracker so its visits are tracked. See Landers.
