In Landingi, you can publish your landing page to your own subdomain. A free Let's Encrypt SSL certificate will be automatically added for every correctly installed subdomain.

Before you start the configuration, add the subdomain in Landingi.
If this is your first time configuring domains in Landingi, see how to get started with domains.

This guide will show you how to set up a domain registered with Google Domains.

Access the DNS management zone in Google Domains

1. Log in to your Google Domains account.

2. Go to My domains, find your domain on the list and click on Manage.

3. Go to the DNS tab on the left, and select Manage custom records.

Set up the DNS records

Now you need to configure the DNS records, select the type of your subdomain.

I'm setting up a www subdomain

Before you start, read about www subdomain redirection.

1. Add two A records: one for your root domain and one for the www subdomain. If you already have these records, edit their values. The field "Host name" of the root domain is empty .

2. Copy and paste the following values:

Type A

Host Name:

leave empty

Data:

157.53.227.1

Type A

Host Name:

www

Data:

157.53.227.1

3. Click Save.

I'm setting up a subdomain other than www

1. Add an A record for the subdomain you want to add to Landingi. If you already have such a record, edit it.

2. Copy and paste the following values. Type in your subdomain name, for example home for home.mycompany.com

Type A

Host Name:

your subdomain name

Data:

157.53.227.1

3. Click Save.

Finish the configuration in Landingi

When you're ready, go back to Landingi and click on Confirm/Finish.

Once you've added the subdomain to your account, our system will verify whether the DNS redirections have been done correctly. During this time, an hourglass icon will be visible next to the domain with the information that the domain is being verified. Usually, the domain will be active a few hours after adding it, but the total waiting time depends on the number of domains in our system waiting in the queue to install the certificate. We will email you when the domain is installed correctly.

A green globe icon indicates an active domain. You can assign it to your landing page.

In some cases, you have to wait between 1 and 24 hours for the records to propagate.
