Godaddy DNS Setup example
Log into your Godaddy Account
1. Log in to your GoDaddy account at www.godaddy.com
2. From the Domains tab go to Domain Management
3. Go to Domain Manager and click the domain that you'd like to point to your Wild Apricot site
4. Click the Launch link under DNS manager
 | Note: The settings shown below are exactly the same for all Wild Apricot accounts, so DO NOT substitute any of the given values marked in red boxes with your own. |
CNAME
5. Look for the www CNAME alias. Most probably, it will be in the section CNAME (Alias) and setup to point to @. Click on the row to edit this setting. If there is no such record setup yet, click Quick Add link instead
6. Enter in the field Points To Host Name : sites.memberlodge.org (without dot at the end) and save.
A record
Next setup the A-record to point to our I.P.
- Find @ in the section A (Host). (Use Quick Add link if its not already there)
- Enter in the field Points To Ip Address : 66.29.208.61
SPF record
- In the TXT (Text) section, find the line which starts with your domain name or @. If the section is empty, click [Quick Add] link
- Specify TXT Name: <mydomain.ext> (without www) or just put @; TXT Value: v=spf1 mx include:memberlodge.org ~all
Add your domain to your Wild Apricot account
Go to Domain name management and do the following
- Add your custom domain
- Set your custom domain as 'Primary' - meaning that it will be used for email links
|
- While the process on WA's end takes about few minutes to complete, the process on your registrar's end can take 24-48 hours.
- Your free Wild Apricot-provided domain like NYCS.memberlodge.org will still work to reach your website - as a backup option.
- You can setup several custom domains, for example NYCS.info, NYCS.net and NYCS.com. One of the domains will be selected as primary.
