Connect your Funraise Campaign Site with a custom domain.

Good to know

  • Custom domains come with SSL security

  • Each custom domain may incur a fee, based on your plan

  • Connecting a custom domain can take up to a week to process

  • The below setup steps must be done for each campaign site you want a custom domain for

Domain format

You can connect your Campaign Site to a subdomain. You can not connect your Campaign Site to a page on a domain. For example:

  • βœ… www.worldchangecampaign.org (In this case, www is the subdomain)

  • βœ… donate.worldchange.org

  • ⛔️ worldchange.org/campaign

Some DNS providers may allow you to provide a CNAME record for the zone apex, which would enable you to use a custom root domain, but this is not common.

Connect a custom domain to a Site

  1. Obtain a custom domain. If you don't yet have a custom domain, you can purchase one with GoDaddy, Bluehost, Squarespace, etc.

  2. Once you have your Funraise Site created and have a custom domain purchased, submit a request through Funraise's service desk portal.

  3. We will provide you with the CNAME mapping for the domains. You'll need to add the CNAME records to your hosting provider.

  4. After your custom domain is connected by our technical team, you'll enter your custom domain in your Campaign Site Settings - this tells the Site to reference your custom domain. This field can be accessed in your Site Settings > Advanced
