Connecting a GoDaddy domain to your Podpage takes a couple of DNS changes. Once they're in place, your website loads at your own domain name.
Before you start, add your domain in Podpage: in your dashboard, go to Settings → Custom Domain and enter your domain. Podpage then shows you the exact records to add and remove.
How to update your DNS at GoDaddy
- Log in to GoDaddy and open your domain list at dcc.godaddy.com/domains.
- Find the domain you want to connect, click the three dots, and choose Edit DNS. This opens the DNS Management page.
- Open the Forwarding tab and make sure your domain is not being forwarded anywhere. Remove any forwarding you find.
- Back in the DNS records, look for a CNAME record with www in the Name column. If it exists, click the pencil icon to edit it. If not, click Add New Record.
- Enter the Podpage records below, then save your changes.
The records to enter
- CNAME record — Host: www (or your subdomain), Points To: domains.podpage.com
- A record — Host: @, Points To: 54.90.47.105 (only needed when your site lives at www.yourdomain.com)
If you see a TTL setting, leave it at the default. For the full details on these records, see What are the Podpage DNS settings for my domain?
Seeing a "Can't edit" message on your DNS records? See What to do if you can't edit DNS settings on GoDaddy. And if you'd rather we handle the setup for you, you can give Podpage access to set up your GoDaddy domain.
Tip: DNS changes can take up to 24 hours to spread across the internet. After a few minutes, click Verify Changes on your Custom Domain page to check your setup.
