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

  1. In GoDaddy, go to DNS and open the DNS records tab for your domain.
  2. Click Add new record and choose CNAME.
  3. Enter www in Name.
  4. Enter the first value from SleepPRO™, ending in cloudfront.net, in Value.
  5. Click Save.
A www CNAME record already there? Edit its value instead.

Second CNAME record

  1. Add another CNAME record.
  2. In Name, paste the code from SleepPRO™ which comes before your domain, starting with an underscore.
  3. In Value, paste the second value from SleepPRO™, ending in acm-validations.aws.
  4. 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

  1. In the DNS section of your domain, click Forwarding, then Add forwarding for a domain.
  2. Choose https://.
  3. Enter your full domain, such as www.yoursleepbusiness.com, as the destination.
  4. 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.
