How to Transfer Your Domain from Porkbun to Your Mastermind Business Hub Account

H
Written by Hub Support Team

If your domain is registered with Porkbun, you can connect it to your Mastermind Business Hub by adding two DNS records in Porkbun's DNS editor. The domain stays registered with Porkbun; you are only pointing it at the hub so your funnels and websites load on your own web address.

Before you start

  • Confirm the domain uses Porkbun's default nameservers. If you previously pointed it at another service, the DNS is managed there, and you should follow that provider's guide instead.

  • Log in to Porkbun in one tab and the hub in another.

  • Have a funnel or website ready in Funnels & Pages, or plan to pick one after connecting.

Step 1: Get the records from the hub

  1. In the hub, go to Settings > Domains & URL Redirects.

  2. Click Connect a Domain.

  3. Choose what the domain will be used for, such as a funnel or website.

  4. Type your domain, for example yourdomain.com or www.yourdomain.com. If you enter the www version, accept the offer to add the root domain too so both work.

  5. Click Continue, then choose the option to add records manually. Keep this screen open. It shows an A record for the root domain (@) and a CNAME record for www, with the exact values to copy.

Step 2: Add the records in Porkbun

  1. In Porkbun, go to Account > Domain Management.

  2. Find your domain and click the DNS link (or the DNS icon) to open the DNS records editor.

  3. Delete the default parking records first: Porkbun adds an ALIAS record for the root domain and a CNAME record for * that both point to Porkbun's parking page (pixie.porkbun.com). Click the trash icon next to each one.

  4. Add each record using the values shown on the Connect a Domain screen:

    • Type A - Address record, Host: leave blank (this is the root domain), Answer: the value shown in the hub.

    • Type CNAME - Canonical name record, Host www, Answer: the value shown in the hub.

    • Leave TTL at the default.

  5. Click Add after each record.

Step 3: Verify in the hub

  1. Return to the hub's Connect a Domain screen and click Verify (or re-open the domain under Domains & URL Redirects).

  2. Once it shows as connected, the hub issues the security certificate automatically. Open your domain in a new tab to confirm your funnel or website loads.

Troubleshooting

  • Parking page still showing. This almost always means the default ALIAS or wildcard CNAME records were not deleted. Go back to the DNS editor and remove them.

  • Conflict on save. Porkbun will not let you add an A record for the root while an ALIAS record exists for it. Delete the ALIAS first.

  • Only one A record for @. Two A records, or an AAAA record for the root, stop the hub from verifying.

  • Porkbun URL forwarding. If you set up URL forwarding for this domain in Porkbun, remove it. Forwarding overrides your DNS records.

  • Still "Pending". Porkbun changes are usually live within minutes, but allow up to 24 hours. If it is still pending after that, re-check each value against the Connect a Domain screen.

  • Email keeps working. Leave MX records alone. Only the A and CNAME records for the root and www change.
