It is required to verify the ownership of the domain. If anyone visits your domain link, it will redirect to your domain page on BrandCool and it helps us to track the visits on your domains and also help in increasing the probability of selling the domains.

17. How do I point my domain names to BrandCool ?

There are two ways you can point your domain names to us. We recommend you try them in this order:


1. Domain forwarding

Pros: Usually instantaneous, and simpler

Cons: Not always supported by registrars, or they may try to charge you

Most domain registrars offer a “Domain forwarding” or “Web Forwarding” option. To successfully forward your domain name to us, simply enter this URL in the field provided by your registrar:

https://BrandCool.com/domainname.html [your domain name with .html at the end]

For instance, if you own ‘superb.com’ you’d need to forward your domain name to

https://BrandCool.com/superb.html

Once you’ve done this, if you visit your domain name, you should see a BrandCool page.

If you give BrandCool up to 24 hours, it will detect your domain is pointed out automatically.


2. DNS records

Pros: Almost always free

Cons: Can take 24-48 hours to take effect, maybe a bit more.

You can also point a domain to BrandCool by changing your domain’s DNS records. To do this, you’ll need to edit the nameservers for your domain in your registrar’s control panel. Set the first and second nameservers to

ns1.BrandCool.com

ns2.BrandCool.com

Leave any other nameservers blank.

Once you’ve done this, depending on a bit of luck, it can take 24 – 48 hours for the whole Internet to be able to see it. This is down to the way DNS works, and there’s nothing BrandCool or you can do to make it faster.
