How to connect your domain to systeme.io

In this article, you will learn how to integrate your root domain to systeme.io.

You will need:

• A domain registered outside of systeme.io
• A systeme.io account

Step 1: On your systeme.io account

1.1. Click on your profile picture, then click on Settings (1), and click on Custom Domain (2).

Then click on Add domain (3).

1.2. In the popup that appears, enter your domain name starting with www (www.domain-name.com), then click Save (4).

1.3. Once the domain is added and saved, A new popup will display two CNAME records. You must add these to your host's DNS settings to connect your domain.

Step 2: On your web hosting platform

Once logged into your hosting provider account, add the CNAMEs shown in the popup.

Using the list below, click on your domain registrar and follow the instructions given on how to create your CNAME record: 

• GoDaddy
• OVH
• Cloudflare
• Infomaniak
• IONOS
• Namecheap

Now, once you are with your web hosting provider, you need to follow the general instructions below:

2.1. Go to your DNS zone to create new CNAMEs.

2.2. Create two new CNAME records in your DNS zone using the values displayed in systeme.io:

First CNAME:

• Name (Host): www
• Target (Value): dekiiavicthi9.cloudfront.net.

Second CNAME:

• Name (Host): _1f8c79f78f96a2a138cfe8561bdd4c64
• Target (Value): _e24285f43fa983395eba535130a6ecaa.nhsllhhtvj.acm-validations.aws.

(The records above are examples; you must add your own values).

Here is an image of the elements you need to add to your DNS zone: 

2.3 Once the two CNAMEs are added to your host, you can check your DNS records to confirm changes using this website: 

• https://dnschecker.org

The indicators should all be green, like the example below. If not, the records have not been entered correctly. You need to review your DNS:

Once you have completed this second step, you need to move on to the redirection of your domain name. 

Step 3: Redirection

This step depends on the hosting service provider you use.

• If you use Hostinger, then follow step 3.1
• If you use any other DNS hosting provider, follow step 3.2

Step 3.1 Create an ALIAS record with root (Hostinger)

If you use the Hostinger hosting service provider, then you need to create an ALIAS record from the root to the same destination you used with the "www" CNAME record:

Here is an example:

Step 3.2 Create a redirection (other DNS hosting providers)

From within your domain host:

• Click on "redirection/forwarding"
• Click "add redirection"
• Create a redirection from domain.com to www.domain.com

Most domain registrars only support forwarding for HTTP addresses, not HTTPS. If you need HTTPS redirection, we recommend migrating to a provider that supports CNAME flattening (like Cloudflare) or root-level CNAMEs (like Namecheap).
