Immediate next steps
Let's get your new custom Ruzuku account up and running. There are two steps to this. Please review both steps before proceeding.
Step 1: Select a web address for your custom Ruzuku account.
This first step is usually the hardest. But once it's over, everything else should move pretty quickly.
The web address for your custom Ruzuku account will be a subdomain, which looks like this: courses.mywebsite.com
The first part can be whatever you would like – as long as you aren't already using it somewhere else. Some examples:
- programs.mywebsite.com
- school.mywebsite.com
- courses.mywebsite.com
- university.mywebsite.com
Once you have settled on the subdomain, you will need to set up and configure a CNAME. The CNAME should point to courses.ruzuku.com.
Your CNAME record should look like this:
Please note: You only need to add the first part for your subdomain, not the full URL (in the example above, the subdomain is "academy").
If you have someone that has helped with technical setup in the past, we recommend reaching out to them for this. It will only take them a few minutes to set this up for you.
Please note: If you do not have someone who offers you tech support, you are welcome to book a call with us here and we will be happy to help with this step.
If you've never done this before, it's much easier than it sounds. If you need help with this, email us at support@ruzuku.com and let us know 1) where you registered your domain and 2) the issue you're struggling with.
Connecting your domain to Ruzuku
After you have created your CNAME and have your new URL, you can now add it to your Ruzuku account! To do this, please log into your Ruzuku account. Click on your Profile picture and select Account.
When you are in your account, select Site and follow each of the prompts (if you do not see this option or get stuck at any point, please reach out to support@ruzuku.com).
