At Cohere, we know many coaches prefer to use their own custom domain for their website.
This guide will show you how to set up a URL redirect from your custom domain to your Cohere subdomain (for example: coachfirstnamecoachlastname.cohere.live).
Why Set Up a URL Redirect?
-
🌐 Use your personalized web address while still hosting on Cohere
-
🔗 Make it easy for clients to find you under your brand
-
💼 Keep your Cohere site professional and consistent with your existing domain
Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1: Purchase a Domain
Buy a domain from a trusted provider such as GoDaddy, Namecheap, or Google Domains.
Step 2: Log In to Your Domain Registrar
Go to your domain provider’s website and log in to your account.
Step 3: Find Domain Management
Navigate to your Domain Management section — often labeled “My Domains,” “Manage Domains,” or similar.
Step 4: Select Your Domain
Choose the domain you’d like to connect with Cohere.
Step 5: Locate Redirect or Forwarding Settings
Look for URL Redirect, Domain Forwarding, or Forwarding Settings — usually under DNS Settings or a similar tab.
Step 6: Add a Redirect Rule
Create a new redirect or forwarding rule.
You’ll need to enter:
-
Redirect Type: Choose 301 (Permanent) or 302 (Temporary).
301 is recommended for SEO-friendly redirects. -
Source URL: Your custom domain (e.g.
www.yourcustomdomain.com) -
Destination URL: Your Cohere subdomain (e.g.
coachfirstnamecoachlastname.cohere.live)
Step 7: Save Your Settings
Once entered, click Save to apply the redirect rule.
Step 8: Wait for DNS Propagation
Changes can take a few minutes to a few hours to update globally.
Once active, visitors to your custom domain will automatically be redirected to your Cohere website.
Example: Setting Up a Redirect on GoDaddy
-
Log in to your GoDaddy account.
-
Go to My Products.
-
Under Domains, click Manage next to your chosen domain.
-
Scroll to Additional Settings → click Manage DNS.
-
In the Forwarding section, click Add under Domain.
-
Choose 301 (Permanent) or 302 (Temporary).
-
Enter your Cohere subdomain as the destination.
-
Click Save to confirm.
✅ That’s it! Your redirect is live — anyone visiting your custom domain will now land on your Cohere site.
