Setup and Configure Domain/Subdomain (Domain Connect or Manual)

Overview

PXME makes it easy to connect your domains and subdomains, whether you’re hosting funnels, websites, or WordPress. You can use Domain Connect (automated setup with GoDaddy or Cloudflare) or configure DNS records manually with your registrar.

Domain Connect (Automatic Setup)

Why Use Domain Connect?

• Quick & Simple – No manual DNS changes required.

• Secure & Reliable – Uses GoDaddy/Cloudflare’s secure framework.

• Future-Ready – Works with PXME funnels, sites, and WordPress hosting.

Important Notes

• Domain Connect does not host domains; you must still own/register them externally.

• Supported providers: GoDaddy and Cloudflare.

• For Cloudflare: Proxy status must be set to DNS only (PXME does not support Proxy).

How to Connect a Domain with Domain Connect

1. Log in to PXME.

2. Go to Settings > Domains.

3. Click + Connect a Domain.

4. Enter your domain or subdomain (optionally add “www”).

5. Click Continue.

6. If registered with GoDaddy/Cloudflare, click Authorize.

7. Approve the connection in your provider’s portal.

8. Return to PXME and finalize setup.

Verify the Connection

• Run a connection test in PXME.

• Updates may take up to 30 seconds to reflect.

Conflict Detection

PXME automatically checks for conflicts (e.g., multiple products mapped to the same domain). If detected, the system will block the action and display an error message.

Domain Connect for WordPress

1. Go to Sites > WordPress.

2. Select your WordPress site.

3. Click Add Domain.

4. Enter your domain and select Auto Configure.

Manual Domain Setup

If your provider doesn’t support Domain Connect, you’ll configure DNS manually.

Step 1: Create DNS Records

Add one of the following records with your registrar (e.g., Namecheap, HostGator, Wix, Hostinger, Bluehost):

CNAME Record (Recommended)

• Host: @ or www

• Value: sites.ludicrous.cloud

A Record (Alternative)

• Host: @

• Value: 162.159.140.166

Important:

• Remove conflicting records (don’t keep multiple A/CNAME entries).

• If using Cloudflare: set Proxy status to DNS Only.

Step 2: Add Domain in PXME

1. Go to Settings > Domains.

2. Click + Connect a Domain.

3. Enter your full domain (e.g., www.mysite.com) or root domain (mysite.com).

4. Select Add Record Manually.

5. PXME will verify your setup. If errors appear, double-check DNS spelling and entries.

Step 3: Set Domain Defaults

• Default Page – Assign the page shown when someone visits domain.com.

• 404 Page – Choose a branded error page for broken/invalid links.

FAQs

Q1: What is Domain Connect?
An automated way to connect domains through GoDaddy/Cloudflare without manual DNS edits.

Q2: Does PXME host domains?
No, you must own/register your domain with an external provider. PXME connects it.

Q3: What DNS records are required for manual setup?
Either a CNAME → sites.ludicrous.cloud or an A Record → 162.159.140.166.

Q4: Why don’t my DNS changes show immediately?
DNS propagation can take up to 24 hours depending on your provider.

Q5: Can I set a default homepage?
Yes. Go to Settings > Domains > Edit Domain and assign a homepage.

Q6: Do I need both www and non-www versions?
It’s best to set one as the primary domain and redirect the other. (If using Cloudflare, only one can be proxied.)

Q7: Why disable Cloudflare Proxy?
PXME requires DNS Only mode. Proxying causes connection issues.
