How to connect your LWS domain to systeme.io

In this guide, you will learn how to add DNS records in LWS to connect your root domain. This allows you to use your custom domain (e.g., www.domain.com) for your sales funnels and blogs, establishing a professional brand presence.

What you will need:

A systeme.io account
A domain name purchased from LWS

Important: Please complete the first step of this article before proceeding with this guide.

After adding the root domain in systeme.io, you must access the DNS settings in your LWS account.

Note: Every domain added to systeme.io generates unique CNAME records that must be added to your host’s DNS settings.

Example:

In this example, we will connect the domain www.team-sio.fr to systeme.io

First, hover over your profile picture, click Settings, then go to Custom Domains and add your custom domain.

Click Manage next to your domain to open its settings.

Scroll down to the Domain management section, then click DNS zone for your domain name.

First CNAME:

Select the type CNAME.
Enter www in the Name field.
Enter dub1xhrwvqflg.cloudfront.net. in the Value field.
Finally, click Add to save the record.

Note: If a CNAME record with the name www already exists, edit its value to dub1xhrwvqflg.cloudfront.net.

Second CNAME:

Select the type CNAME.
In the Name field, paste the text string that appears before your domain name (e.g.,_31391c73e65052f6e16887f152bb352b)
Enter _bb9d4596458330462aa3922655924487.xlfgrmvvlj.acm-validations.aws. in the Value field.
Finally, click Add to save the record.

Once the two CNAME records have been successfully added to your host, you can check their status using the following tool: https://dnschecker.org

You should see the same value you added next to a green checkmark, as displayed in the example below. If not, the records may be incorrect. Please review your DNS zone settings.

Add a redirect rule:

Go to the Web Redirection section in your domain dashboard.

Select the type of redirection: Choose the 301 (Htaccess) option for a permanent redirect.
Enter the domain name: For example: team-sio.fr (this field is already filled in the image).
Enter the redirection URL:

Select the protocol "https://" from the dropdown menu.
Enter the destination URL (e.g., www.team-sio.fr ).

Click the green To validate button to save your configuration.

Notes:

It can take up to 24–48 hours for DNS records to propagate completely.
Sometimes, your host may not be able to register a CNAME record due to a conflict with other existing DNS records. This usually happens when adding the first CNAME. If this occurs, contact your host support to determine if those existing records are necessary or if they can be safely deleted.
