🧭 Overview: what is a domain?

A domain is the address a user types into their browser to reach your content.
Examples:

  • yourbrand.com

  • training.yourbrand.com

  • www.yourbrand.com

On CrocoClick, your domain lets you customise your branding and host your:

  • Funnels

  • Websites

  • Blogs

  • Webinars

  • Client portals

  • Emails (SPF/DKIM/DMARC authentication)

Everything is managed in one place, in the Domain tab.

📌 What is DNS?

DNS (Domain Name System) is the equivalent of an internet phone book.

It translates your domain (readable by humans) into an IP address (readable by machines).
Each feature relies on a specific record type:

  • CNAME → Subdomain redirection

  • A Record → Points to an IP address

  • TXT → Verification / emails

  • MX → Receiving emails (rarely needed in CrocoClick)

Understanding DNS is not mandatory… but editing it correctly is.

🧩 What you can do from the Domain tab

The Domain tab centralises EVERYTHING:

🔗 1. Connect a domain or subdomain

  • Buy a domain from CrocoClick

  • Connect a domain bought elsewhere (Namecheap, GoDaddy, OVH…)

  • Manage several subdomains as needed

🌍 2. Link your domain to your CrocoClick modules

  • Funnel / Website

  • Blog

  • Webinar

  • Store

  • Client portal

  • WordPress

  • Emails (SPF + DKIM + DMARC authentication)

💡 TIP: To put this into practice, here are 2 articles you will find useful 👇

🔒 3. Automatic SSL management

CrocoClick generates SSL certificates automatically → your site runs on HTTPS.

🛠️ 4. Edit DNS records (internal domains only)

If you bought your domain from us, you can edit the DNS records straight from the tab.

💡 TIP: To learn how to manage your DNS records, read our article “Editing the DNS records of a domain bought on CrocoClick”

🚦 5. Check the status of each domain

  • Connected

  • Pending

  • Verification required

  • SSL not validated

  • Expiring soon

🚀 Before you start

You need:

  • An active CrocoClick account

  • A domain:

    • bought from us or

    • bought from an external registrar

  • Access to the DNS settings if your domain is external

🛒 Buying a domain

You have two options:

🟢 1. Buy directly inside CrocoClick (recommended)

➡️ The simplest and fastest route, with no technical setup.

  1. Go to Settings → Domain → Buy a domain

  2. Search for the name you want

  3. Buy it

  4. Your domain immediately appears as Internal, with:

    • Preconfigured DNS

    • Automatic SSL

    • Full built-in management

🔵 2. Buy from an external provider

For example: Namecheap, OVH, GoDaddy, Gandi, Ionos.

You will then need to:

  • Add your domain in CrocoClick

  • Update the DNS records with your provider

  • Wait for propagation (a few minutes to 24 hours)

These domains appear as External in CrocoClick.

🧭 Centralised domain management

Everything happens in Settings → Domain.

You can:

  • Add or remove a domain

  • Add subdomains

  • See the connected products

  • Check the SSL status

  • Resolve errors

  • Access the DNS records (internal domains only)

  • Track expiry & auto-renewal

🏷️ Label types:

  • Internal → bought through CrocoClick

  • External → connected from an external registrar

💡 TIP: Not sure which one applies to you, or what it changes in practice? Read “Is your domain on CrocoClick or somewhere else? (10 seconds to find out)” : this is the question to settle before any DNS or email configuration.

🧱 Root domain, subdomain, WWW — what is the difference?

🔸 Root domain

This is your main domain.

Example:
example.com

Often used for:

  • Main website

  • Home page

  • Blog

🔹 Subdomain

A prefix added to the domain.

Examples:

  • training.example.com

  • webinar.example.com

  • member.example.com

Useful to organise your ecosystem without buying several domains.

🔸 WWW (www.example.com)

Technically… it is a subdomain too.
CrocoClick lets you use:

  • example.com
    or

  • www.example.com

Best practice:
Pick one of the two and redirect the other to keep your SEO clean.
