How to Add a Custom Domain or Subdomain to Your GreatPLR Hosting

Want your funnel to show up on your own domain instead of a subdomain like greatplr.digitalemergencykit.com? No problem! This guide will walk you through how to connect a domain or subdomain you already own.


🔐 Step 1: Log In to the Hosting Dashboard

Go to:
👉 https://dashboard.greatplr.com

Log in using the credentials you received when you first purchased hosting.
📨 If you didn’t set a password yet or can’t remember it, click Forgot Password on the login page.


🧭 Step 2: Choose the Funnel You Want to Add the Domain To

From the Your Sites section, find the box for the funnel you want to connect your domain to.
Example: ryantest1.digitalemergencykit.com

Scroll down to the 🌐 Connected Domains section and click:
🟩 Add Domain

You’ll be prompted to enter the domain or subdomain you want to use, like:
myoffer.youbrand.com or yourbrand.com


⚙️ Step 3: Set Up DNS (Don’t Worry, It’s Just a Few Clicks)

Once you’ve added the domain, you’ll see instructions like this:

DNS Setup Instructions:

  1. Go to your domain provider’s DNS settings.
  2. Create a CNAME record
  • Type: CNAME
  • Host: yourbrand.com (your domain)
  • Points to: greatplr.digitalemergencykit.com (replace with your free subdomain)

What this does: It tells the internet where to find your site when people type in your domain.

✅ Once the CNAME is set correctly, your dashboard will automatically show a green checkmark like this:

✅ correctly configured
You’ll also get a free HTTPS (SSL) certificate — no extra steps needed!


🕵️‍♂️ Not Sure Who Your Domain Provider Is?

Your domain provider is the company where you bought your domain — like GoDaddy, Namecheap, Cloudflare, Google Domains, etc.

  • If you’re not sure, try searching your email for “domain registration” or “welcome to [provider name]”
  • You can also visit https://whois.domaintools.com and enter your domain to see who hosts your DNS.

🔁 Common DNS Gotchas

  • ⏳ DNS changes may take up to 30 minutes to go live (but usually faster).
  • 🛑 Don’t use a redirect or forwarding rule — you need a CNAME record.
  • 🧠 Use a subdomain like offer.yourbrand.com if your main domain already powers another website.

🧪 How to Know It’s Working

Once the DNS is set up correctly:

  • You’ll see ✅ “correctly configured” in your dashboard.
  • You can visit your domain in the browser and see your funnel live!
  • Your site will load securely with https://
