A domain is the name of a website, and is what comes after the “www.” in a web address or after the “@” in an email, for example: testsamplewebsite.com. In HighLevel, if the domain is pointed more than one, such as for general use in your funnels, etc. and also for a membership portal, this can create potential issues.
It is recommended to have a subdomain for something like a membership portal (in this instance we’d recommend using a subdomain like members.yourtestwebsite.com). Here’s how to set up a subdomain in HighLevel:

Tired of Being the Admin, the Marketer, and the Closer?
You didn't start your business to spend hours building funnels, managing calendars, and chasing follow-ups inside HighLevel. What if someone else handled all of that for you?
Our HighLevel-trained virtual assistants know the platform inside and out — workflows, pipelines, social scheduling, reporting — so you can focus on closing deals and growing your business. Starting at only $164 per week.
Step 2: In the Membership Settings for Custom URL, use the subdomain instead of the main website URL.
NOTE: The recommended best practice is to have one of the domains in your CRM.

For example, have testsamplewebsite.com as the domain in the CRM and within your DNS manager, set up the www. to redirect to testsamplewebsite.com
