Connect your club's web address
Your website goes on your club's own address, such as www.yourclub.org.uk. You need the Owner or Editor role, and access to where your club's domain is registered (your registrar, such as 123 Reg, GoDaddy or IONOS).
Connect it
- Open Website in the side menu, then the Settings tab, and find Your web address.
- Type the www address, such as www.yourclub.org.uk, and choose Add address.
- At your registrar, add the DNS record shown: type CNAME, name www, pointing to sites.clubroutes.com. If www already has a record (your old website), change it to this one.
- Back in Your web address, the address shows Waiting for your DNS change, then Live. This usually takes a few minutes, but DNS changes can take up to a day.
- Choose Publish changes if you haven't yet.
The address without www
So yourclub.org.uk works too, set your registrar to forward it to https://www.yourclub.org.uk. It's often called "domain forwarding" or "URL redirect". Choose a permanent (301) redirect.
Good to know
- Your website gets its secure certificate (https) automatically.
- Moving from an old website? Add its old addresses under Addresses from your old website first, so links and Google keep working. See Set up Google, analytics and messages on your website.
- Remove this address stops the website answering there.
