Can I Keep My Website and Use Course Creator 360? Yes
Yes. Your Squarespace, Wix or WordPress site stays exactly where it is, and Course Creator 360 goes live on a subdomain like go.yoursite.com the same day. Nothing you own goes dark. Here is the part I would rather you hear from me now than work out in six months: your website was never the thing that sells the course, so keeping the site costs you nothing and fixes nothing.
Short answer: Day one your homepage does not move. CC360 runs on a subdomain, and your funnels, checkout, courses, community, CRM and email all live there. There is even a tracking script you paste into Wix or Squarespace so the form fills over there land in your CC360 CRM. Within a few months most people point the root domain at us too and cancel the other four subscriptions, because one bill replaces the stack. Run the 30-day trial next to what you already have.
I teach this same distinction to every course creator who comes through. A website is your root domain, the thing you say out loud when somebody asks where to find you, and its job is to let people browse. It is a magazine. A funnel is a sequence of pages where the visitor gets one option, then one option, until the only thing left is to buy. Same page builder in CC360, different job. You already own the magazine. What you are missing is the machine, and the machine goes up on a subdomain without your magazine blinking.
Day one, a few months, and the one real exception
Find yourself in the middle column and you are done deciding.
| The stage | Who is here | What runs where | The catch, and what we do about it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Day one (subdomain) | Everybody, on the day you sign up | Your homepage stays on Wix, Squarespace or WordPress. Courses, funnels, checkout, community, CRM, email and automations go live on go.yoursite.com | Two places to update your brand, and the old site is invisible to your CRM until you paste our tracking script in. One minute job, and from then on form fills on Wix arrive here as contacts, more than your site builder ever told you. |
| Within a few months (full move) | Most people, once the funnel is outselling the old site | Everything, homepage included, runs on your main domain inside CC360. Site builder, email tool, course host and scheduler get cancelled | Somebody has to rebuild the pages. Use a template, or hand us the URLs and we clone them one for one, which is how you end up with pages built to sell instead of a brochure four companies charged you to host. |
| The exception | Your site earns real search traffic, or has custom code a rebuild would not survive | The site stays the front door for now. Every button on it points into CC360: opt-ins, booking, checkout, the course portal | Two domains means two sets of tracking, and the script closes most of that gap in one sitting. Even here the funnel goes up now, so traffic your site earns turns into sales you can see instead of visits you cannot bill. |
Nobody tears anything down to get started, and nobody wants two systems forever. One member ran funnels on go.theirdomain.com for months, then came back and asked us to point the root domain over too. That order works. Tearing the site down first and figuring out the funnel after wastes a month and sells nothing.
What actually breaks, and it is only two things
The fear here is not hosting. It is that a DNS change nukes something that works. One member said it on a call before we touched anything: "this isn't gonna interfere with any of that, is it?" Fair question, and I can answer it honestly because we broke it once. In September 2025 my own build team pulled a client's domain off his live WordPress site while building his new pages. He was down four weeks before it got back to me. I had them put his DNS back that day, and the rule has not moved since: nobody touches a live site to build a new one. That is why the setup call opens with three questions I wrote myself. Do you have a domain. Where is it hosted. Is anything already running on it, a website, email, anything. The third one is there so we do not break what already works.
1. Your tracking. If the ad click lands on your Wix homepage and the checkout happens on a CC360 page, your reporting only sees half the journey. We built the fix into the product. Your account has one universal external tracking script. Copy it, paste it into the back end of whatever else you are running, Wix, Squarespace, Shopify, and from then on the page views and form submissions over there get pushed into your CC360 CRM, where they can fire automations. One honest limit: it reads standard HTML forms, not forms locked in an iframe. My real opinion is you should be replacing those platforms, not tracking them. But while one is up, get the data out of it.
2. Your email domain. Sending as [email protected] means adding records wherever your DNS lives, and this is the part people assume takes the website down. It does not. DNS records are per host: the entries for your sending domain or for go.yoursite.com sit alongside the ones pointing your homepage at Wix or Squarespace, they do not overwrite them. Your homepage, forms and subdomains keep running as they are, and you send from your own address, which is why deliverability setup is included on Premium and Elite. Here is what we do to make the email land once it is connected.
And connecting a domain is not transferring one. Connecting points it at us and leaves ownership where it is, so a registrar's 60-day transfer lock cannot delay your launch by a day. The full walkthrough is here.
The Wix problem, and what we do about it
Here is the one real limitation, and you should hear it from me. Wix does not allow the type of DNS record the sending email provider needs. That is Wix's rule, not ours, and it is no edge case: when I mapped where our members' domains sit, five registrars cover almost everybody and Wix is one of them. So we staffed for it.
The workaround takes about ten minutes on the setup call. The rep moves your DNS to a registrar that allows the record, or gets you a domain that does, then wires your sending domain and subdomains while you watch your own screen. Come able to log into wherever your domain is parked, which is the second question on that script for a reason. GoDaddy, Cloudflare, Namecheap, Bluehost, Squarespace and WordPress hosts have no such restriction. Either way it is a ten minute item on somebody else's checklist, not a problem you solve alone at midnight.
Your website is not the thing that sells the course
The people asking this are usually the best customers we get: a real business, real clients, a site they paid for. What they do not have is anything that turns a visitor into a buyer, and no redesign has ever produced one.
So let me be blunt about the mistake underneath it. You should not be sending cold traffic from a paid ad to your website. If that is what you are doing right now, this is your moment to repent. A website hands people fifteen directions: the about page, reviews, the blog, maybe the offer. A funnel hands them one. Opt-in page, one option, give me your email. Webinar, one option, go to the sales page. Sales page, one option, checkout. Checkout, buy. I have built hundreds of pages in this software and roughly ninety percent of mine live inside funnels, not on the website tab. Only one of the two has ever paid me.
All of it goes on a subdomain of the site you already own: the funnel, the email sequence behind the opt-in, the course portal your buyer lands in seconds after paying. A few months in, when the subdomain is selling and the homepage is only describing, most people stop paying two companies for one job. More on where the course itself should live.
What you cancel once you move
I lived this before I built the fix. I sold or helped sell over $5 million through Kajabi, and even at that number it was still forcing me to keep an active MailChimp subscription for email and CRM, Calendly for appointments, Zapier to make the pieces talk. The list just kept getting longer. A site builder plus a course host plus an email tool does the same to you, and it is the most expensive habit in this business. The people we bring over are usually paying $500 to $800 a month across five logins. What the full move retires:
- The site builder. Wix, Squarespace, or WordPress hosting plus the plugin stack keeping it alive.
- The email tool. Sending, lists, automations and whatever you pay per contact.
- The course platform. Hosting, video, student logins, drip.
- The scheduler. Calls, reminders, no-show follow-up.
- The glue. The connector app and checkout add-on that existed only because the other four could not talk.
All five are in CC360 on one bill. Premium is $147 a month, so a $500 to $800 stack drops by roughly $350 to $650 a month, which is $4,000 to $7,800 a year going into ads instead of five companies. That is not a preference, it is a raise. Add yours up, then read what each plan includes, and the current plan prices are here.
Rebuilding the pages is the only real cost of the move, and it happens once. Three ways to do it, and only one of them is work. Use a template from the library and fill in your own headlines. Or send us the URL of your existing Wix, Squarespace, WordPress or ClickFunnels page and we clone it one for one into your account, which stays cheap because we are copying an asset, not designing one: simple pages run about $35 each, a full migration bundle $300 to $1,500 by page count, most near $600. Or let the AI build the page and write the copy. A CC360 expert will take the rebuild off your hands entirely. All three cost less than one month of the stack they retire.
The half move is the one that hurts
About one in five people on our calls this year name migration as the last thing stopping them, and they are the ones who already have a real business. The fear is never the move. It is the half move: the site half rebuilt, the videos still on the old platform, two logins, nothing finished.
So do it in an order that cannot strand you. Let the old bill run while you build. Put one funnel on the subdomain and send real traffic at it. When it outsells your website, and only then, point the root domain at CC360 and cancel the rest. Nothing is ever down, and the overlap is weeks, not a second stack forever.
I am not shy about why I want all of it on one platform. If I can get you launched and making money, you stay on our software. That is how I win and how you win, and it does not happen while your funnel sits on one company's server, your emails on another and your course on a third.
Your first move, in order
Do these in order and you cannot break anything you already own.
- Start the trial while your current bills are still running. 30 days on Premium and Elite, no charge until it ends. A few weeks of overlap is cheap insurance, temporary on purpose.
- Book the onboarding call and bring your domain login. Not your website login, the place your domain is parked. Being able to get into it turns a 45-minute call into a finished setup.
- Ask for the subdomain out loud. Say "my site stays where it is for now, put CC360 on go.mysite.com." The rep does it live, Wix workaround included, nothing on your site touched.
- Paste the external tracking script into your old site before you spend a dollar on traffic, so the form fills over there arrive here as contacts you can follow up with.
- Build one funnel and send real traffic at it. One offer, one checkout, one email sequence. That is the test that tells you when to move the root domain, and it answers itself fast.
Then the boring, profitable part: rebuild the pages or hand us the URLs, point the domain, cancel the four subscriptions you no longer need. Here is the wider fit check if you are still weighing it, and the 30 days begin whenever you are ready. Your site is still up either way.
Frequently asked questions
Can I keep my Wix or Squarespace website and still use Course Creator 360?
Yes. On day one we set CC360 up on a subdomain like go.yoursite.com and your original site keeps working exactly as it does now. Most people move the whole site over within a few months anyway, because once the funnel, emails, course and calendar are in CC360, the site builder is the last bill doing a job CC360 already does.
What do I cancel once I move to Course Creator 360?
The site builder, the email tool, the course platform, the scheduler, and the connector app gluing them together. Members come to us paying $500 to $800 a month across those five logins; Premium is $147, so the stack drops by roughly $350 to $650 a month.
Do I have to move my website on the day I sign up?
No. Nothing moves on day one and nothing you own goes offline while you build. You move the site when the CC360 funnel is outselling it, which for most people lands within a few months, and then the other subscriptions stop.
Will connecting my domain take my existing website offline?
No. DNS records are per host, so the entries for go.yoursite.com or your sending domain sit alongside the ones pointing your homepage at Wix or Squarespace instead of replacing them. Your pages and forms keep working through the setup, and our standing rule is that nobody touches a live site to build a new one.
Can I track what happens on my Wix or Squarespace site inside CC360?
Yes. There is a universal external tracking script in your account. Paste it into the back end of Wix, Squarespace or Shopify and the page views and form submissions over there get pushed into your CC360 CRM, where they can trigger automations. It reads standard HTML forms, not forms locked in an iframe.
Can I send email from my domain if my website stays on Wix?
Yes, with one extra step. Wix does not allow the DNS record type the sending provider needs, so on the onboarding call we move your DNS to a registrar that does. That is a normal part of the call, and DNS and deliverability setup is included on Premium and Elite.
Is my content safe if I ever need to step away for a month?
Yes. What you create and upload is yours, and nothing gets deleted. If life happens you can park the account for $29 a month: courses, funnels, pages, contacts, automations and domain settings all stay exactly as you left them, and un-parking brings the whole thing and your old plan back. Here is how parking works.
