Introduction

Main vs. Subdomains

You can connect your custom domain to Funnelish as a main domain or as a subdomain.

Imagine your domain is like your home address:

The main domain is your house’s main entrance (mydomain.com) which leads everyone into the same front door (one IP address).
As you can’t have the front door (main domain) open into two different buildings (two IPs) at the same time, to access to another "building" , you’ll need to set up side doors using subdomains (shop.example.com) to lead to those other places.

In other words, the main domain can be used as your website's primary address, and the subdomain (e.g., or blog.example.com) would be like an extension of your main domain, usually used for an extension of your website, like a blog, store, or support page.
