How to connect your LWS domain to SleepPRO™

Custom domains

Here is how to connect a domain bought at LWS, so your funnels and blog show at your own address.

First add your domain in SleepPRO™, as described in step 1 of How to connect your domain to SleepPRO™. Each domain gets its own CNAME records.
  1. In LWS, click Manage next to your domain.
  2. Scroll to Domain management and click DNS zone.

First CNAME record

  1. Choose CNAME.
  2. Enter www in Name.
  3. Enter the first value from SleepPRO™, ending in cloudfront.net, with the full stop at the end, in Value.
  4. Click Add.
A www CNAME record already there? Edit its value instead.

Second CNAME record

  1. Choose CNAME.
  2. In Name, paste the code from SleepPRO™ which comes before your domain, starting with an underscore.
  3. In Value, enter the second value from SleepPRO™, ending in acm-validations.aws.
  4. Click Add.

Check your records

Go to dnschecker.org and enter the full name of each record, including your domain. You should see your value with a green tick. If not, review your DNS settings.

Add a redirect

  1. Open Web redirection in your domain dashboard.
  2. Choose 301 (Htaccess) for a permanent redirect.
  3. Your domain name is filled in, such as yoursleepbusiness.com.
  4. Choose https:// and enter your www address, such as www.yoursleepbusiness.com.
  5. Click the green button to confirm.
DNS changes take 24 to 48 hours to spread fully.
If LWS will not save a record because of a conflict, usually with the first CNAME, ask LWS whether the existing record is needed or can be removed.
