Forwarding your Godaddy domain to your Brokerkit landing page to brand your URL

Introduction:

As a Brokerkit user, you may want to forward your custom domain hosted at GoDaddy to your Brokerkit landing page. This way, you can present a more professional and branded image to your viewers while masking the getbrokerkit.com domain. In this article, we'll guide you through the process of forwarding your GoDaddy domain to your Brokerkit landing page step by step.

Prerequisites:

  • A Brokerkit account with a landing page set up.
  • A domain registered with GoDaddy.

Step 1: Locate your Brokerkit landing page URL

  1. Log in to your Brokerkit account.
  2. Navigate to the landing page you want to forward your custom domain to.
  3. Copy the URL of your Brokerkit landing page. It should look like this: https://getbrokerkit.com/t/your-company-name.

Step 2: Log in to your GoDaddy account and access Domain Management

  1. Go to GoDaddy.com and log in to your account.
  2. Click on your account name at the top right corner of the screen.
  3. Select "My Products" from the dropdown menu.
  4. Locate the domain you want to forward and click on the "DNS" button next to it.

Step 3: Configure domain forwarding in GoDaddy

  1. Scroll down to the "Forwarding" section.
  2. Click the "Add" button next to "Domain" if there isn't already a forwarding rule set up. If there's an existing rule, click the "Edit" button.
  3. Select https:// protocol next to the field - "Destination URL"
  4. In the "Destination URL" field, paste the URL of your Brokerkit landing page (from Step 1).
  5. Under "Forward type," select "Forward with masking" to mask the Brokerkit URL with your custom domain.
  6. (Optional) Enter the "Masking Information" to customize the page title, description, and keywords. This information will be used by search engines when indexing your site.
  7. Click "Save" to apply the forwarding settings.

Step 4: Verify domain forwarding

  1. Allow a few minutes for the changes to propagate across the internet.
  2. Open a new browser tab and enter your custom domain.
