Growth Systems

Connecting Your Domain

To point your new website at your domain, we need to be able to change your domain settings. Pick whichever option below is easiest for you.

You keep your domain.

Your domain stays registered in your name, on your card, in your account. We never take ownership and we never need to. What we're asking for is permission to change one setting, and you can remove that permission at any time. If you ever leave, your domain goes with you because it was always yours.

STEP 1

Option 1 — Add us to your account

Find your domain provider below and follow the steps. This is the simplest option for most people.

  1. Sign in to GoDaddy
  2. Go to Account Settings, then Delegate Access
  3. Under "People who can access my account", click Invite to Access
  4. Enter the name Growth Systems and the email contact@getgrowthsystems.com
  5. Choose the access level "Products & Domains"
  6. Click Invite

Note: The invitation expires after about two days, so if we don't get to it in time just send it again.

  1. Sign in to Namecheap
  2. Click Domain List in the left sidebar
  3. Click Manage next to your domain
  4. Open the Sharing & Transfer tab
  5. Under Share Access, enter contact@getgrowthsystems.com in the New Manager field and click Add
  6. Under Advanced DNS, tick all the checkboxes
  7. Enter your Namecheap password and click Confirm

Note: This shares one domain, not your whole account.

  1. Sign in to Squarespace and open your domains dashboard
  2. Click your domain
  3. Click Permissions
  4. Click Invite domain manager
  5. Enter Growth Systems and contact@getgrowthsystems.com
  6. Click Send Invitation

Note: If you don't see an "Invite domain manager" button, your domain is attached to a Squarespace website. In that case go to your site's Settings, then Permissions, and invite contact@getgrowthsystems.com as an Administrator instead.

  1. Sign in to Wix and open your site's dashboard
  2. Go to Roles & Permissions in the left menu
  3. Click Invite People
  4. Enter contact@getgrowthsystems.com
  5. Choose the Website Manager role
  6. Send the invitation

Note: The invitation expires after 30 days.

We handle this one a little differently. Instead of you hunting through your account settings, we send you a secure access request through IONOS directly.

  1. Let us know your domain is with IONOS and we'll send the request
  2. Watch for an email from IONOS about a Growth Systems access request
  3. Open it and sign in to your IONOS account if prompted
  4. Approve the Partial Access request
  5. Let us know once it's approved

Note: Partial Access lets us manage your domain and its settings. It does not let us into your contract management, and we can't buy or cancel anything. You can revoke it at any time from your IONOS account under Login & account security.

  1. Sign in to your account
  2. Click your profile icon or name in the top-right corner
  3. Select "Accounts & Users" (if you only have one account, this may say "Users & Roles")
  4. Find your account and click Manage
  5. Scroll to the "User Roles & Permissions" section
  6. Click + Add User
  7. Enter the name Growth Systems and the email contact@getgrowthsystems.com
  8. Choose the Tech role
  9. Click Invite

Note: These four are all run by the same company, so the steps are the same for each. The Tech role lets us manage DNS and site settings only — it has no access to your billing or account ownership.

  1. Log in to Cloudflare and select your account
  2. Go to Manage Account Members
  3. Click Invite
  4. Enter contact@getgrowthsystems.com
  5. Choose the Administrator role
  6. Click Continue to summary, then Invite

Note: You need to be a super administrator with a verified email address to send this.

  1. Sign in to your Porkbun account
  2. Click ACCOUNT in the top-right corner
  3. Select Authorized Users
  4. Enter our Porkbun username: GrowthSystems
  5. Click Submit

Note: Porkbun uses usernames here rather than email addresses, so use the exact one above. We'll get an email and accept from our end.

Don't see your provider? Message us and we'll walk you through it, or use Option 2 below.

STEP 2

Option 2 — We send you the records

If your provider isn't listed above, or you'd rather not add anyone to your account, you can point your domain at your new site yourself. We don't list the DNS records on this page because they're unique to each client's setup — there's no generic value we could show here that would work for you. Message us and we'll send your specific records, along with where to put them.

Once they're in, changes usually take effect within an hour but can take up to 48. Send us a message once they're added and we'll confirm everything is pointing correctly.

Not sure where your domain is?

Search your email for a renewal notice. Whoever charges you once a year for your web address is where your domain lives. If you still can't find it, message us and we'll help you track it down.

Stuck on any of this? Message us and we'll walk through it together, or hop on a quick call and do it live.
