How to connect a GoDaddy domain

Recommended: One-click connection with Entri

RebelSites uses Entri to auto-configure your DNS — no manual record editing needed. When you click "Connect Domain" in the app, an Entri modal opens and handles everything automatically for GoDaddy and most other registrars.

1. In RebelSites, go to your site settings and click "Connect a custom domain."

2. Enter your domain name.

3. Click "Connect" — the Entri modal will open.

4. Sign into your registrar when prompted.

5. Entri configures the DNS records automatically. Done.

The whole process takes about 30 seconds. If Entri can't connect to your registrar automatically, it will show you manual instructions instead.

Manual setup (if Entri didn't work)

If the automatic connection didn't work for your GoDaddy domain, follow these manual steps.

Step 1: Get your CNAME value

In RebelSites, go to your site settings → "Connect a custom domain." Copy the CNAME target shown.

Step 2: Log into GoDaddy

1. Go to godaddy.com and sign in.

2. Click "My Products" → find your domain → "DNS" or "Manage DNS."

Step 3: Add the CNAME record

1. Click "Add New Record."

2. Type: CNAME | Name: www | Value: paste CNAME target | TTL: 1 hour

3. Click Save.

Step 4: Root domain redirect

For yourdomain.com (without www): Domain → Forwarding → forward to www.yourdomain.com (Permanent 301).
