Connect your domain (DNS)
Point your own web address at ReconPath, with automatic HTTPS.
Your website starts on a free address like your-lot.sites.reconpath.com. When you are ready to use your own domain (for example www.yourdealership.com), you connect it with two quick DNS records. It usually takes a few minutes.
1. Add your domain in ReconPath
Go to Website → Domain, type your domain, and press Add. ReconPath then shows you the exact records to create.
2. Add these two DNS records at your domain provider
Log in where you bought the domain (GoDaddy, Namecheap, Cloudflare, Google Domains, and so on), open its DNS settings, and add both records below. If a record with the same name already exists, edit it to match.
| Type | Name / Host | Value / Points to | TTL |
|---|---|---|---|
| A | @ | 68.168.222.208 | Automatic |
| A | www | 68.168.222.208 | Automatic |
@ means your root domain itself. Some providers leave the Name blank for the root, that is the same thing. If your provider only allows a CNAME for www, point www to your free address (your-lot.sites.reconpath.com) instead.
3. Verify and get HTTPS
Back in Website → Domain, press Verify connection. DNS changes usually take a few minutes (up to an hour). Once your domain points to us, ReconPath turns on a secure https:// certificate for you automatically, there is nothing to buy or install.
If it is not verifying yet
- Give it time. Some providers take up to an hour to publish DNS changes. Add the records, then check back.
- Check for duplicates. An old A record, or a parking/forwarding setting, can override the new one. Remove any conflicting records for
@andwww. - Match exactly. The value must be
68.168.222.208with no extra spaces, and the type must be A.
Once verified, both yourdealership.com and www.yourdealership.com load your site securely. Your free address keeps working too.
