Step 1: Create Your Affiliate Account
Sign up at A2zWordFinder
Visit a2zwordfinder.com/amember/signup and create your free affiliate account. During signup, enter the domain you want to use for your branded site.
Tip: You can use a subdomain of your existing site (e.g., words.yoursite.com) or register a brand new domain specifically for word tools.
Step 2: Add a DNS Record
Point your domain to our servers
Log into your domain registrar or DNS provider and add a single CNAME record:
DNS Record to Add:
Type: CNAME
Name: words (or @ for apex domain)
Target: affiliate-origin.a2zwordfinder.com
TTL: Auto
Examples by provider:
Cloudflare: DNS → Add Record → CNAME
GoDaddy: DNS Management → Add → CNAME
Namecheap: Advanced DNS → Add New Record → CNAME
Google Domains: DNS → Custom Records → CNAME
Step 3: Wait for SSL (Automatic)
We handle the rest automatically
Once your DNS record propagates (usually 1-5 minutes), our system automatically:
- Detects your domain is pointed to us
- Provisions a free SSL certificate
- Activates your branded site with all word tools
- Sets up CDN caching and DDoS protection
That's it! Your branded word tool site is now live. Every visitor who signs up through your domain earns you 50% recurring commission.

Troubleshooting
DNS hasn't propagated yet
DNS changes can take up to 48 hours to propagate globally, though most complete within 5-15 minutes. Use dnschecker.org to check propagation status.
SSL certificate pending
SSL certificates are issued automatically once DNS is verified. This typically takes 1-5 minutes after propagation. If it's been more than an hour, contact our Help Desk.
Site shows "inactive" message
Your affiliate account may need activation. Log into your dashboard and check your domain status, or contact support.
