Domain Setup

When choosing a web domain for your FanMaker site, there are 4 options:

1

New Domain Name Setup By FanMaker

FanMaker will take care of everything, just tell us what domain you want.

Note

This is the most common scenario.

2

Use Your Domain with our Fast DNS Servers

You will need to edit your domain's DNS servers to point to FanMaker's DNS. Notify us of your domain name so we can make the initial setup and then we will notify you of the 2 DNS servers to replace yours with on the domain along with instructions for your domain host (ex. GoDaddy Hover.com)

3

Use Your Existing Domain Name

You will need to edit your domain's DNS records to point to FanMaker Servers. Please remove any root A record and then create the following:

• a cname record for @ pointed to main.fanmaker.com

• a name record for www pointed at @

Note

If your DNS provider does not support a root cname record and requires an IP address you have 2 options. You can upgrade to a modern DNS provider like Cloudflare (free), or you move forward with option 2 - Use Your Domain with our Fast DNS Servers

4

Use a Subdomain on your Existing Domain

You will need to edit your domains DNS records to point to the subdomain to FanMaker Servers. For example If your desired address is rewards.yourdomian.com Please create the following:

• a cname record for "rewards" pointed to main.fanmaker.com
