How to set up a custom domain


Set up your custom domain for your Fitcrea site. This removes the fitcrea.com from your site URL and changes it to your domain.

When you create your account in Fitcrea you are automatically given a Fitcrea URL: sitename.fitcrea.com . You can change the URL with a custom domain. This means you can change the sitename.fitcrea.com URL into yourowndomain.com.

Your custom domain is a domain you own and gives you a branded URL where you will host your Fitcrea site and application.

To set up a custom domain you will need a domain purchased from a domain host (GoDaddy, Namecheap, etc.) since Fitcrea does not provide custom domains.


Step 1 – Set up your domain in application’s settings

Go to settings in tab General and find section Site URL. In the field New Custom Url write your domain like example shows and click Save button on the bottom of the page.
