Need to point your existing domain name to your new microsite?
You will need to login to your account with the company that you registered your domain name with (i.e.: GoDaddy, Network Solutions, etc) and go to your domain area. From there, you want to find where it says Forwarding and click Manage. From there, you will point your domain name to:
https://www.usabmx.com/tracks/####
The "####" will be your 4-digit track number.
For BMX Canada tracks, it will be:
https://www.bmxcanada.org/tracks/####
Then, for GoDaddy, you will want to click Advanced to enable Domain Forwarding with Masking. At that point, you can put in a website title, description and some keywords for search engines. The domain forwarding with masking allows you to "mask" the fact that your website is really a microsite within USABMX or BMXCANADA. A good example of this is: http://www.cobrabmx.com
Did you miss the webinar about the Track Microsites & Event Scheduler?
Don't worry, we recorded it so you can watch it at your leisure. Just click on this YouTube link:
