Enter Your Domain Name

1. Click Connect an Existing Domain.

Step 3: Copy the Two DNS Records

After entering your domain, Churchly will show you 2 DNS records:

• A Record – points to an IP address
• CNAME Record – points to your Churchly website

IMPORTANT:

• You should only have ONE A record with @  as the name.
• You should only have ONE CNAME record with www  as the name.
• If there are duplicates, delete the old ones!

Step 4:

Add the Records in Your Domain Provider (like GoDaddy or Namecheap)

If You Use GoDaddy:

1. Go to godaddy.com and log in.
2. Find your domain and click DNS.
3. Scroll to the DNS Records section and click Add.
4. Add both the A and CNAME records shown in Churchly.

If You Use Namecheap:

1. Go to namecheap.com and log in.
2. Find your domain and click Manage.
3. Go to the Advanced DNS tab.
4. Scroll down and click Add New Record.
5. Add the A and CNAME records from your Churchly settings.

Note: Namecheap may take up to 24 hours for the changes to fully apply.

Step 5:

Wait for Your Domain to Connect
