Custom Domains

Where: left menu → Websites → Domains

Use your own web address — like www.yourschool.com — instead of the standard yourname.learnerfast.com.

What you need

  • A domain you've bought from any provider (GoDaddy, Namecheap, Google Domains, etc.).
  • Access to that provider's DNS settings page.

Step 1 — Add your domain

  1. Click Add Domain.
  2. Choose which website it should point to.
  3. Type your domain with the www. — e.g. www.yourschool.com.

⚠️ Enter the www. version. Plain root domains (like yourschool.com without www) can't be connected this way — at your domain provider, set the root to redirect to www.

Step 2 — Set up DNS at your provider

After adding, LearnerFast shows you exactly one record to create (each value has a copy button):

Setting Value to enter
Type CNAME
Name / Host www (or your chosen subdomain)
Points to cname.learnerfast.com
TTL 3600 or "Auto"

Log in at your domain provider → DNS settings → add this record → save.

Step 3 — Verify and activate

  1. Back in LearnerFast, click Verify on your domain card.
  2. When verification succeeds you'll see: "Domain verified successfully!"
  3. Click Activate to switch your site over — it goes live on your domain shortly after.

⏳ DNS changes can take anywhere from a few minutes to 24–48 hours to take effect worldwide. If verification fails, wait a bit and try again.

Managing domains

  • Set primary — if you have several domains, choose the main one.
  • Delete — disconnects the domain (the DNS record at your provider stays until you remove it there).

Troubleshooting

Problem What to do
Verification keeps failing Double-check the CNAME points to cname.learnerfast.com, then wait for DNS to update
"Root domains can't use CNAME" Use the www. version and redirect the root at your provider
Verified but the site doesn't load Click Activate, then give it a few minutes
