In this guide, you will learn how to add DNS records in LWS to connect your root domain.

This allows you to use your custom domain, such as www.domain.com, for your sales funnels and blogs, establishing a professional brand presence.

What you will need:

  • A SystemeScale account
  • A domain name purchased from LWS
⚠️
Add the domain in SystemeScale first
Please complete the first step of the How to connect your domain to SystemeScale article before proceeding with this guide.

Add your root domain in SystemeScale first

After adding the root domain in SystemeScale, you must access the DNS settings in your LWS account.

πŸ“
Every domain has unique CNAME records
Every domain added to SystemeScale generates unique CNAME records that must be added to your host’s DNS settings.
ℹ️
Example used in this guide
In this example, the domain www.team-sio.fr is being connected to SystemeScale. Your own CNAME records will be generated inside your SystemeScale account.

First, hover over your profile picture, click Settings, then go to Custom Domains and add your custom domain.

Open the LWS DNS zone

Click Manage next to your domain to open its settings.

Scroll down to the Domain management section, then click DNS zone for your domain name.

First CNAME

Select the type CNAME.

Enter www in the Name field.

Enter dub1xhrwvqflg.cloudfront.net. in the Value field.

Finally, click Add to save the record.

πŸ“
If the www CNAME already exists
If a CNAME record with the name www already exists, edit its value to dub1xhrwvqflg.cloudfront.net.

Second CNAME

Select the type CNAME.

In the Name field, paste the text string that appears before your domain name. In this example, use _31391c73e65052f6e16887f152bb352b.

Enter _bb9d4596458330462aa3922655924487.xlfgrmvvlj.acm-validations.aws. in the Value field.

Finally, click Add to save the record.

⚠️
Use your own generated CNAME records
The CNAME values above are examples. Each domain added to SystemeScale has its own CNAME records, so copy the exact records shown in your SystemeScale account.

Check your CNAME records

Once the two CNAME records have been successfully added to your host, you can check their status using DNS Checker.

To check your records, you must enter the full CNAME name, including your domain name, into the search bar.

You should see the same value you added next to a green checkmark. If not, the records may be incorrect. Please review your DNS zone settings.

  • CNAME Verification 01: verify the www CNAME record.
  • CNAME Verification 02: verify the validation CNAME record.
βœ…
Verify both CNAME records
Check both the first CNAME and the second validation CNAME. Both should resolve correctly before you expect the domain connection to work.

Add a redirect rule

Go to the Web Redirection section in your domain dashboard.

Select the type of redirection: choose the 301 (Htaccess) option for a permanent redirect.

Enter the domain name. For example: team-sio.fr.

Enter the redirection URL by selecting the protocol https:// from the dropdown menu, then enter the destination URL, such as www.team-sio.fr.

Click the green To validate button to save your configuration.

πŸ”
Redirect root traffic to the www version
The redirect sends visitors from the root domain, such as team-sio.fr, to the www version connected through the first CNAME record.

Important notes

  • It can take up to 24–48 hours for DNS records to propagate completely.
  • Sometimes, your host may not be able to register a CNAME record due to a conflict with other existing DNS records. This usually happens when adding the first CNAME. If this occurs, contact your host support to determine if those existing records are necessary or if they can be safely deleted.

Connecting an LWS subdomain instead?
Use the LWS subdomain guide if you want to connect a subdomain rather than the root domain.
