Use your existing GoDaddy domain on OfferingTree

You can use a domain that you purchased on GoDaddy and point it to your OfferingTree site by editing the DNS settings of the domain. By pointing the domain to OfferingTree, you will maintain ownership and management of the domain and will need to continue paying the basic domain renewal fees to GoDaddy. This is usually the quickest way to get going and gives you the most control over the domain.

Here's how:

1. Sign in to GoDaddy: Log in to your GoDaddy account and go to your domain's DNS management page (usually labeled "DNS" or "Manage DNS").
   
   

2. Create or Edit the WWW CNAME Record:

   • If a CNAME record for "www" exists: Find the row with "Type" set to "CNAME" and "Name" set to "www". Click to edit it. Change the "Value" or "Points to" field to customdomains.offeringtree.com.
   • If a CNAME record for "www" doesn't exist: Click the "Add" button (or similar) to create a new record. Choose "CNAME" as the type. Enter www in the "Name" or "Host" field. Enter customdomains.offeringtree.com in the "Value" or "Points to" field.
     
     

3. Create or Edit the @ A Record:

   • If an A record for "@" exists: Find the row with "Type" set to "A" and "Name" set to "@" or the root domain. Click to edit it. Change the "Value" or "Points to" field to 35.209.110.2.
   • If an A record for "@" doesn't exist: Click the "Add" button (or similar) to create a new record. Choose "A" as the type. Enter @ in the "Name" or "Host" field. Enter 35.209.110.2 in the "Value" or "Points to" field.

4. Save Changes: Click the "Save" button to apply your DNS record updates.

5. Contact OfferingTree: Email us at support@offeringtree.com to let us know you've completed these steps. We'll then finalize the connection on our end. Please allow up to 24 hours for the DNS changes to propagate.
