Already have a website or online store? Awesome — that means you're serious about your brand! But before you connect your existing domain to your WithMe hub, there's something really important you need to know. 👇

When you set up a custom domain for your WithMe hub, you're asked to update your DNS records — specifically, to point a CNAME record (usually www) to WithMe's servers.

Here's the thing: if your domain already powers a live website, store, or landing page, pointing that domain's CNAME to WithMe will replace your existing site entirely. Your current website will go offline and visitors will see your WithMe hub instead.

📝 Note:
This isn't a WithMe limitation — it's how DNS works! A domain can only point to one place at a time. Think of it like a street sign: it can only direct traffic in one direction.

Don't worry — we've got you! The easiest and safest approach is to use a separate domain (subdomain not allowed) for your WithMe hub. That way, your existing website stays exactly where it is and your hub gets its own home. 🏠

Pick up a fresh domain that's all about your creator brand — something like yourbrand.com or yournameacademy.com. Domain registrars like Namecheap, GoDaddy, or Google Domains make this quick and affordable (usually under $15/year!).

There’s no need to move your hub to a custom domain—most creators (around 90%) keep it simple and it works perfectly for them!

Your brand deserves a smooth, polished experience — for you and your audience. Setting up a separate domain or subdomain takes just a few minutes but saves you from unexpected downtime and confused visitors. You've got this! 💪
