2. Setting Up a Custom Domain

Step 1:

GoDaddy Example: Add a CNAME record

Add a CNAME (alias) record to your DNS zone file in your GoDaddy account. CNAME records use a domain prefix, such as blog to point your domain to a domain name.

1. Log in to your GoDaddy Domain Control Center. (Need help logging in? Find your username or password.)
2. Select your domain to access the Domain Settings page.
3. Under Additional Settings, select Manage DNS.
4. Select Add under the records table.
5. Under Type, select CNAME.
6. Enter the details for your CNAME record:
   • Host: The host name, or prefix, the CNAME record will be set to. You can include a period (.) but not as the first or last character. Consecutive periods (…) are not allowed, and the host cannot exceed 25 characters or be the @ symbol. You can’t use a host that’s already assigned to an existing A record, TXT record or MX record.
   • Points to: The URL you are setting as the destination for the host. Type @ to point directly to your root domain name.
   • TTL: Determine how long the server should cache information.
7. Select Save to save your new CNAME.
