What Is a Domain in Kyrios

A domain is the public address people use to access your online assets, such as websites and email (for example, yourbusiness.com).

In Kyrios, a domain can be connected to:

  • Websites and funnels

  • Stores and blogs

  • Client portals

  • Email sending and receiving


What Are DNS Records

DNS (Domain Name System) records control where different types of traffic for your domain are sent.

Common DNS record types include:

  • A Record: Points a domain to an IP address for websites.

  • CNAME Record: Creates an alias from one domain to another.

  • TXT Record: Stores verification data for domain ownership or email authentication.

  • MX Record: Routes incoming email to mail servers.

When a domain is connected in Kyrios, you can:

  • Assign it to websites, funnels, stores, or blogs.

Common Issues and Fixes

Domain shows “Error”

  • One or more DNS records are missing or incorrect.

  • Compare records exactly with the values provided in Kyrios.

SSL shows “Not Secure”

  • Page contains mixed content (HTTP assets).

  • Update all images and scripts to HTTPS.

Email not sending or receiving

  • MX or TXT records may be missing.

  • Verify email-related DNS records are present.


FAQ

How long does it take for a domain to start working?

Most domains work within minutes, but full DNS propagation can take up to 48 hours.

Do I need a separate domain for every funnel?

No. You can use one domain with paths (for example, /offer) or create multiple subdomains.

What is SSL and why is it required?

SSL encrypts data and enables HTTPS. Kyrios issues SSL automatically once a domain is verified.

Can one domain be used for both email and websites?

Yes. DNS records allow web traffic and email traffic to be routed independently.

Will name servers change during a domain transfer?

Kyrios attempts to keep existing name servers during transfer. After completion, you may switch to Kyrios name servers for full internal DNS management.
