How to Transfer Your Domain from GoDaddy to Your Mastermind Business Hub Account

Introduction: This guide provides a comprehensive walkthrough on how to transfer a domain purchased from GoDaddy to your Mastermind Business Hub account. Using the domain "kayakrentalbusiness.com" as an example, we'll show you how to seamlessly connect your domain to a funnel or website within the Mastermind platform. This process ensures your domain is correctly configured, allowing you to manage and operate your online business efficiently.

Step 1: Log into Both Accounts

1. Open Your Web Browser:
   • Start by launching your preferred web browser.
2. Log in to Your Mastermind Business Hub Account:
   • Navigate to the Mastermind website and enter your login credentials.
   • Ensure you’re on the dashboard of your Business Hub account.
3. Log in to Your GoDaddy Account:
   • Open a new tab or window and go to the GoDaddy website.
   • Enter your GoDaddy credentials to access your account.
4. Having both the Mastermind Business Hub and GoDaddy accounts open will make the process of connecting your domain much smoother.

Step 2: Prepare Your Funnel or Website in Business Hub

1. Access the Funnels and Pages Section:
   • In your Mastermind Business Hub account, locate the navigation menu.
   • Click on “Funnels and Pages” to view your existing funnels and websites.

1. Ensure You Have a Funnel or Website Ready:
   • If You Already Have a Funnel/Website:
     • Check that it is fully set up and ready to connect with your domain.
   • If You Do Not Have One:
     • You can create a new funnel or website.

Step 3: Connect Your Domain from GoDaddy to the Business Hub

1. Locate Your Domain in GoDaddy:
   • Go back to your GoDaddy account.
   • In the dashboard, find the domain you want to transfer (e.g., "kayakrentalbusiness.com").
2. Access DNS Settings:
   • Click on the domain to open its settings.
   • Navigate to the DNS settings section where you can manage the domain’s DNS records.
3. Add a CNAME Record:
   • Look for an option to add a new record.
   • Choose “CNAME” from the record type dropdown.
   • In the “Name” field, enter the subdomain (e.g., “www”).
   • In the “Value” or “Points to” field, enter the URL provided by Mastermind Business Hub where your funnel is hosted.
   • Set the TTL (Time to Live) to the default setting.

1. Save Your DNS Settings:
   • After entering the CNAME record details, click “Save.”
   • Ensure that the new CNAME record is active and correctly configured.
2. Configure the Domain in Business Hub:
   • Return to your Mastermind Business Hub account.
   • Go to the settings of the funnel or website you created earlier.
   • Enter the domain name you’ve configured in GoDaddy (e.g., "kayakrentalbusiness.com").
   • Save the domain settings to finalize the connection.

Step 4: Test Your Domain Connection

1. Check Your Domain:
   • Open a new browser tab.
   • Type in your domain URL (e.g., "www.kayakrentalbusiness.com") and hit Enter.
2. Verify the Connection:
   • The domain should now direct you to the funnel or website you set up in Mastermind Business Hub.
   • If the page loads correctly, the domain transfer was successful.

1. Troubleshooting (if needed):
   • If the domain isn’t directing correctly, double-check the DNS settings in GoDaddy.
   • Ensure that the CNAME record matches the URL provided by Mastermind.
   • Allow some time for DNS propagation, which can take up to 48 hours
