How to connect your GoDaddy domain to SystemeScale
In this article, you will learn how to add CNAME and domain forwarding records inside your GoDaddy DNS dashboard to link your custom domain.
What you will need:
- A SystemeScale account
- A domain name purchased from GoDaddy
Step 1: Declare your domain in your portal account
1
Profile picture → Settings → Custom Domains → Add domain
Hover over your profile photo in the top right, select Settings, click Custom Domains, and click Add domain to input your address parameters.
Once declared, your dashboard will display two distinct CNAME rows (unique keys and target paths) that need to be mapped into your host DNS zone records.
Step 2: Add your CNAME configurations inside GoDaddy

GoDaddy → DNS Records → Add New Record
Log into your GoDaddy profile. Navigate to your domain, click the DNS Records tab, then click Add New Record.

d3bt5p0vcddwkd.cloudfront.net). - Click Save.

www already exists, do not create a new one. Click the inline edit icon and change its destination value to your system-provided Cloudfront string.B. Configure your Second CNAME entry
Click Add New Record again:

CNAME. - Name: Paste the token string that appears before your domain name in your account panel (e.g.,

_835816fa9babb4f145284a3d8a3b63d6.zfyfvmchrl.acm-validations.aws.). - Click Save.
Step 3: Add a root domain redirect forwarding rule

On your GoDaddy DNS settings page, scroll down to the Forwarding section and click Add Forwarding for a domain name link.
Configure the forwarding rule:

https://from the protocol dropdown. - Destination URL: Input your complete domain with prefix (e.g.,

Verifying your records activation
Monitor propagation at dnschecker.org. Enter your full subdomain (e.g.,
www.yourdomain.com), select CNAME, and verify your system paths show green validation checkboxes.⚠️
Propagation timelines and conflicting host logs
DNS propagation can take 24–48 hours worldwide. If your host shows a validation error, check for pre-existing conflicting A or AAAA records. Contact GoDaddy support to safely remove old default records.
