# GoDaddy

## Before you start

* Decide whether you want to use the main domain (***e.g.,** mydomain.com*) or a subdomain (***e.g.,** go.mydomain.com, offers.mydomain.com*).
* Know that **[www](http://www).** is also considered a subdomain.
* If you are using the main domain (*e.g., myshop.com*) for something else like a Shopify store, then you cannot use the same main domain for your funnels. You'll have to use a subdomain (*e.g., go.myshop.com*).

## **Using a main domain** (aka naked domain)

This method is only needed in case you want to use your actual main domain (**e.g., mystore.com**) as the entry URL of your funnel instead of a subdomain.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Using a main domain for Funnelish will replace anything else being used at that same main domain.

* **If you have connected the subdomain**, then make sure to write it down as it is (*e.g., go.mydomain.com*)
* **If you have connected the main domain**, then add the naked domain as it is (*e.g., mydomain.com*) without any www…

3. Click **Connect** and **Verify**.
4. Once verified, **select the newly connected domain/subdomain** from the **Domain** dropdown and click **Save changes**.
