Update GoDaddy DNS

PreviousCustom DomainNextSearch & Metadata

Last updated 24 days ago

Here are step-by-step instructions on how to set up the DNS records shown in your screenshots using GoDaddy:


1) Access Your DNS Settings on GoDaddy

  1. Go to and log in.

  2. Click on your name in the top right corner, then go to "My Products".

  3. Find your domain and click on it then click the "DNS" tab on the page, as shown below.

2) Set Up Subdomain (CNAME Record)

Example:

  • Subdomain: www.example.com or eventx.example.com

  • Record Type: CNAME

  • Name: www or eventx

  • Value: dns1.wavecast.io

Steps:

  1. Under Records, click "Add".

  2. Choose Type: CNAME.

  3. Name: Type www or eventx (whatever subdomain you want to use).

  4. Value: Enter dns1.wavecast.io.

  5. TTL: Leave as default (1 hour).

  6. Click Save.

3) Set Up Apex Domain (A Record)

This step is only required when setting up the apex domain, such as example.com or www.example.com. If you're using a subdomain like event.example.com, this step is not required.

Example:

  • Domain: example.com

  • Record Type: A

  • Name: @

  • Value: 209.38.176.207

Steps:

  1. In the DNS records list, look for an existing A record with the Name @.

    • If it exists, click Edit.

    • If it doesn’t, click "Add".

  2. Choose Type: A.

  3. Name: @

  4. Value: 209.38.176.207

  5. TTL: Leave as default (1 hour).

  6. Click Save.
