How to connect your GoDaddy domain to SleepPRO™
Custom domains
Here is how to connect a domain bought at GoDaddy, so your funnels and blog show at your own address.
First add your domain in SleepPRO™, as described in step 1 of How to connect your domain to SleepPRO™. Each domain gets its own CNAME records.
First CNAME record
- In GoDaddy, go to DNS and open the DNS records tab for your domain.
- Click Add new record and choose CNAME.
- Enter www in Name.
- Enter the first value from SleepPRO™, ending in cloudfront.net, in Value.
- Click Save.
A www CNAME record already there? Edit its value instead.
Second CNAME record
- Add another CNAME record.
- In Name, paste the code from SleepPRO™ which comes before your domain, starting with an underscore.
- In Value, paste the second value from SleepPRO™, ending in acm-validations.aws.
- Click Save.
Check your records
Go to dnschecker.org and enter the full name of each record, including your domain. You should see your value with a green tick. If not, review your DNS settings.
Add forwarding
- In the DNS section of your domain, click Forwarding, then Add forwarding for a domain.
- Choose https://.
- Enter your full domain, such as www.yoursleepbusiness.com, as the destination.
- Choose Permanent (301) and click Save.
DNS changes take 24 to 48 hours to spread fully.
If GoDaddy will not save a record because of a conflict, usually with the first CNAME, ask GoDaddy support whether the existing record is needed or can be removed.
