Short answer
To sell online courses on your own domain, choose a course platform that supports custom domains, add your domain in its settings, then add the DNS record it gives you at your registrar. On learnfrom.co this takes a few minutes: add the domain under Account, then Custom domain, create an A record (for a root domain) or a CNAME record (for a subdomain), and click Verify Domain.
Why use your own domain
- Students see your brand in the address bar instead of the platform's.
- Your profile and every course live on a URL you own, so you can switch platforms without losing the address.
- Links, checkout pages and share images all reflect your domain.
Root domain or subdomain?
| Option | Example | DNS record on learnfrom |
|---|---|---|
| Subdomain | learn.yourbusiness.com | CNAME record |
| Root (apex) domain | yourbusiness.com | A record |
A subdomain is the safer choice if your root domain already hosts a website, because you don't have to move it.
Setting it up on learnfrom.co
- Open Account, then Custom domain.
- Type your domain without
https://or a trailing slash, and click Add. - Add the DNS record shown to you at your domain registrar (Cloudflare, Namecheap, GoDaddy and so on).
- Return to the page and click Verify Domain. Status changes from Pending Verification to Active once the records are visible.
DNS changes can take a few minutes to a few hours to propagate. SSL is provisioned automatically once the domain is active. You can connect one domain per account, and your learnfrom.co links keep working by redirecting to your domain.
Step-by-step help, including what to do if verification fails, is in the custom domain guide.
What to check on any platform
- Whether custom domains are included on every plan or only on higher ones.
- Whether checkout, emails and share images also use your domain.
- Whether SSL is handled for you.
- What happens to your old platform URLs after you connect a domain.
