Your domain is your brand. Replace the generic fleetify.africa subdomain with your own professional address (e.g., rentals.yourbrand.com) to build trust and boost conversions by up to 27%.


Step 1: Add Domain in Dashboard

Navigate to Settings > Domains > Add New. Enter the full domain you've purchased. We support:

Subdomains
rentals.example.com
Root Domains
fleetdrive.co

Step 2: Configure DNS Records

Log in to your domain registrar (GoDaddy, Namecheap, Cloudflare) and update your DNS settings. The exact record type depends on your setup.

DNS Configuration
For Subdomains (Recommended)
Type
Name/Host
Value/Target
CNAME
www
cname.fleetify.africa
For Root Domains (Apex)
Type
Name/Host
Value/Target
A
@
76.76.21.21

Step 3: Verification & SSL Provisioning

Once you save your DNS changes, click Verify in the Fleetify dashboard. Our system will:

  1. 1

    Check DNS Propagation

    DNS changes can take 1-48 hours to propagate globally. We'll poll every 5 minutes.

  2. 2

    Issue SSL Certificate

    We automatically request a Let's Encrypt certificate. This ensures your site uses HTTPS (the padlock in the browser).

  3. 3

    Route Traffic

    Your domain now points to your Fleetify booking engine. Test it by visiting the domain in an incognito window.

Automatic SSL Renewal

SSL certificates expire after 90 days. Fleetify auto-renews them 30 days before expiration, so you never have to worry about "Your connection is not private" errors.

Troubleshooting: "Domain Not Verified"

If verification fails after 48 hours, double-check:

  • You pointed to the correct target (check for typos).
  • There are no conflicting A or CNAME records for the same subdomain.
  • If using Cloudflare, disable the "Proxy" (orange cloud) temporarily during setup.
