How do I forward a domain to my BUILDLink website?

If you prefer to continue using certain services (such as email accounts) through your external domain host, forwarding your domain is a suitable method. You’ll need one of our premium plans if you want to forward a domain to your BUILDLink website.

Adding your domain

First, add the domain to your BUILDLink website:

  1. Make sure that you’re logged in to your BUILDLink account and choose the desired website
  2. Click on Website Builder > Domains in the left menu
  3. Click the Forward button at the bottom
  4. Enter your domain and click on Next

Managing domain settings

Now, make the necessary changes to the settings at your domain host and select one of the following methods to forward your domain:

We recommend using the CNAME method, as forwarding via Nameservers could lead to certain services being unavailable at your domain host.

Notes

  • We do not support forwarding via A-Record
  • If you’ve already transferred a domain to BUILDLink or registered a domain with BUILDLink, that domain will remain your primary domain (the domain that visitors see in their browser’s address bar). In case of 2 internal domains you may choose which domain appears as the primary domain.
  • In total, 3 domains can be used with a BUILDLink website. That’s two internal domains that were registered at BUILDLink and another, external domain that you forward to your website
