DNSimple and ClickFunnels

Table of Contents

ClickFunnels uses DNSimple as its domain registrar. When you purchase a domain through ClickFunnels, the domain is registered under their reseller account. To manage the domain yourself, you need to move it into your own DNSimple account.

Note

If you already have a DNSimple account but cannot find your domain, see I Can’t Find My Domain.

Create a DNSimple account

If you do not already have a DNSimple account, create one before requesting the domain transfer.

  1. Go to dnsimple.com and click .
  2. Enter your email address and password, then click .
  3. Choose the plan that fits your needs.
  4. Add your credit card details, then click . Your account will not be activated until you add a credit card.

Tip

You can cancel any time during your 30-day trial without being charged for your DNSimple subscription.

Request the domain move from ClickFunnels

Send an email to billing@clickfunnels.com using the email address associated with your ClickFunnels account. Include the following information:

  • Confirmation that you have a paid DNSimple account.

Accept the domain push

  1. Log in to DNSimple. You will see a notification on your dashboard about the pending push.
  2. Click to see the pending domain push, then click .
  3. You will be prompted to assign a contact to the domain. This updates the registrant information from ClickFunnels to you.

For more details on the push process, see Transfer a Domain to Another DNSimple Account.

Warning

Changing the registrant information locks the domain from external transfers for 60 days. You will receive a verification email to confirm the contact change. Verify it promptly - ignoring it will lead to a suspended domain.

Manage your DNS

Your DNS records transfer with the domain. If your site was working before the move, it will continue to work without changes.

  • Your name servers do not need to change. The domain was already using DNSimple name servers through ClickFunnels.
  • To view or edit your DNS records, click on the domain, then select the tab. See the record editor guide for details.
  • If you are no longer using ClickFunnels for your website and have switched to another hosting provider, you will need to update your DNS records to point to the new host. Contact your hosting provider for the records you need to add.

Set up a certificate

ClickFunnels includes a certificate with their service. After moving the domain, you will need to manage your own certificate.

Note

If a certificate from ClickFunnels transferred with your domain but is set to auto-renew, the renewal may fail if the certificate type requires a higher-tier plan. You can disable auto-renewal and order a new certificate that fits your plan.
