  3. Click Search Domain and confirm your preferred name is available.
  4. Click Add to Cart or Make it yours.
  5. Review any add-ons (privacy, email, etc.) — you can deselect anything you don't need right now.

  7. Enter payment details and click Complete Purchase.
  8. GoDaddy will confirm the domain is now in your account.

Open Your Base Camp Media Group Funnel or Web Page Settings

Grab the DNS details from your funnel or web page so you know exactly what to enter in GoDaddy:

  1. Log in to your Base Camp Media Group account.
  2. Go to the Funnels area and open the funnel or web page you want to connect.
  3. Open the funnel or web page's Settings panel.
  4. Locate the section labeled Domain or Custom Domains.
  5. Note the recommended DNS records (typically an A record and/or a CNAME record) and the target values provided.
  6. Keep this tab open — you'll return to it after adding the records in GoDaddy.

Add DNS Records in GoDaddy

You'll now connect your domain by adding or editing DNS records so the domain points to Base Camp Media Group.

Access Your DNS Settings

  1. In GoDaddy, click your name in the top-right corner and choose My Products.
  2. Find the domain you want to use and click DNS or Manage DNS next to it.
  3. This opens the DNS Management page where you can view and edit your records.

Add or Edit the Required Records

Your exact records may vary slightly based on your Base Camp Media Group configuration. In most cases, you'll need two records:

1. Recommended Method (CNAME)

Use a CNAME record if you are connecting a subdomain (e.g., www.yourdomain.com or go.yourdomain.com).

Type Host / Name Points To / Target
CNAME www (or your subdomain prefix) cnamewwwsites.ludicrous.cloud.
Record Type Host / Name Points To TTL
A @ (root domain) IP address provided in your funnel or web page settings 1 hour (default)
CNAME www Target host provided by Base Camp Media Group 1 hour (default)
  1. Locate the existing A record for @ (root domain). If one already exists pointing elsewhere, edit it rather than creating a new one.
  2. Set Host to @, set Points to to the IP address from your funnel or web page settings, leave TTL at default, then click Save.
  3. Next, create or edit the CNAME record — Host: www, Points to: the target host provided by Base Camp Media Group.
  4. Save your changes.
⚠️
Avoid Duplicate Records: Do not have multiple A or CNAME records for the same host. If you see two A records for @, remove the one that does not point to Base Camp Media Group.

Connect the Domain Inside Base Camp Media Group

Once your DNS records are in place, tell your funnel or web page which domain to use:

  1. Return to your Base Camp Media Group funnel or web page's Settings tab.
  2. In the Domain or Custom Domains area, click Add Domain or Connect Domain.
  3. Enter your full domain (for example, yourbrand.com).
  4. If prompted, choose whether www.yourbrand.com or yourbrand.com should be the primary URL — you can usually redirect one to the other.
  5. Click Save or Connect.
  6. Base Camp Media Group will check your DNS. If everything looks right, the domain will show as Connected or Pending (while propagation finishes).

Verify and Test Your Live Domain

ℹ️
DNS changes aren't instant. They usually begin working within minutes but can take up to 24 hours to fully propagate worldwide.
  1. Wait at least 10–15 minutes after saving your DNS records in GoDaddy.
  2. In a new browser tab, type your domain (e.g., https://yourbrand.com).
  3. Test in an incognito / private window to avoid cached results.
  4. You should see your Base Camp Media Group funnel or web page load under your new domain. 🎉
  5. If it doesn't load yet, wait a bit longer and check again. DNS propagation can be gradual.
✅
Pro tip: You can also check propagation status at dnschecker.org by entering your domain to see how far it has spread across global DNS servers.

If Your Domain Isn't Working

Waited at least 30–60 minutes and it's still not loading? Check these common causes:

Conflicting DNS Records

Make sure there's only one A record for @ and one CNAME for www, both pointing to Base Camp Media Group's values.

Missing Record (www vs. root)

If www.yourdomain.com works but yourdomain.com doesn't (or vice versa), double-check both the A and CNAME records.

Still Propagating

DNS can take up to 24 hours globally. If everything is configured correctly, it may simply need more time.

Typo in Domain

Confirm the domain in GoDaddy and in Base Camp Media Group match exactly — no extra spaces, hyphens, or characters.

Browser Cache

Try a different browser, a private/incognito window, or a different device entirely to rule out cached results.
