  • 3. Click on “Add Domain” and search for the domain you want.
  • 4. Select the desired domain from the search results and add it to your cart.
  • 5. Complete the checkout process and make the payment.

Congratulations! You now have a registered GoDaddy domain ready to be connected with Webflow. Let’s move on to step 2!

Step 2: Connect Your GoDaddy Domain with Webflow

In this step, we will connect your GoDaddy domain with Webflow by updating the DNS settings. Follow these instructions:

  • 1. Sign in to your Webflow account and navigate to the project where you want to use your GoDaddy domain. Click on “Project Settings” in the left sidebar menu. Select the “Hosting” tab. Scroll down to the “Custom Domains” section and click on “Add Custom Domain”. Enter your GoDaddy domain in the input field and click “Next”.
  • 6. Webflow will provide you with DNS records that you need to add to your GoDaddy account. Keep this page open.

Now, let’s update the DNS settings on GoDaddy:

  • 1. Sign in to your GoDaddy account and navigate to the “Domains” section. Find the domain you want to connect with Webflow and click on it. Look for the “DNS Management” section and click on “Manage DNS”. In the DNS management panel, locate the existing records for your domain (if any) and delete them (if necessary). Add new records by clicking on “Add” or “+”.
    • Type: Select “A” from the drop-down menu for each record you need to add.
    • Name: Enter “@” or leave it blank for each record.
    • TTL: Set it to default or choose a specific TTL value.
    • Data: Copy and paste each value from Webflow’s DNS records page into the corresponding record in GoDaddy.
  • 6. Save your changes and go back to the Webflow page where you left off.
  • 7. Click on “Verify DNS Settings” in Webflow to complete the process.

Congratulations! You have successfully connected your GoDaddy domain with Webflow.

Please note that DNS changes can take up to 24 hours to propagate, so don’t worry if it doesn’t work immediately. In the meantime, you can continue building your website on Webflow and publish it once the DNS propagation is complete.
