This article is about your ClubRight Website, your public site for attracting new members.
When you connect a custom domain to your ClubRight Website, you add two DNS records at whoever you bought your domain from. This article shows where to do that for the most common providers. The steps are similar everywhere: find your DNS settings, add the two records, and save.
💡 The two records you are adding: a TXT record (to verify you own the domain) and an A record (to point your domain at ClubRight). The A record always points to the IP address 51.104.28.88. The TXT record's value is unique to your club, so always copy it from the Web address tab in ClubRight, where both records are shown to you. For the full process, see Connecting your custom domain.
Adding these records does not take down any existing website you have. Provider screens are occasionally redesigned, so wording may vary slightly from the steps below.
GoDaddy
Log in to GoDaddy and go to My Products.
Find your domain and click DNS (or Manage DNS).
In the Records section, click Add.
Add the A record: set Type to A, set Name to @ (this means the root of your domain), set Value to 51.104.28.88, and leave TTL as the default. Save.
Click Add again and add the TXT record: set Type to TXT, set Name and Value to exactly what ClubRight shows you on the Web address tab. Save.
Namecheap
Log in to Namecheap and go to Domain List.
Click Manage next to your domain, then open the Advanced DNS tab.
Under Host Records, click Add New Record.
Add the A record: choose A Record for Type, set Host to @, set Value to 51.104.28.88, and leave TTL as Automatic. Save.
Click Add New Record again and add the TXT record: choose TXT Record, set Host and Value to exactly what ClubRight shows you. Save (click the green tick to confirm each row).
Cloudflare
Log in to Cloudflare and select your domain.
In the left menu, go to DNS, then Records.
Click Add record and add the A record: set Type to A, set Name to @, set IPv4 address to 51.104.28.88.
Set the Proxy status to DNS only (the cloud icon should be grey, not orange), then save. This step matters, see the note below.
Click Add record again and add the TXT record: set Type to TXT, set Name and Content to exactly what ClubRight shows you. Save.
⚠️ Cloudflare proxy must be off for the A record. If the proxy (orange cloud) is left on, ClubRight cannot verify your domain or issue the HTTPS certificate, and your site will not go live. Make sure the A record shows DNS only with a grey cloud.
Any other provider
The steps are the same wherever your domain is (for example 123-reg, IONOS, Google Domains, Squarespace, or Wix):
Log in to your provider and find the DNS settings for your domain (often called DNS, Manage DNS, DNS records, or Advanced DNS).
Add an A record pointing the root of your domain (usually @ or sometimes blank) to 51.104.28.88.
Add a TXT record using the name and value ClubRight shows you on the Web address tab.
Save your changes.
After you have added the records
Go back to the Web address tab in ClubRight. It checks for your records every minute and connects your domain automatically once it sees them, then issues a free HTTPS certificate. You can click Check now to check straight away.
💡 Give it time, this is normal. DNS changes do not take effect instantly. They usually take a few minutes, but can take up to an hour, and occasionally longer. If your site is not live straight away, that does not mean anything is wrong. ClubRight keeps checking in the background, so you can close the page and come back later.
If your domain still will not connect after that, see Troubleshooting your custom domain, or contact the Customer Success team using the orange chat button in your application.
