On this page, you will learn how to add DNS records to GoDaddy to connect your subdomain. You will be able to add your subdomain, such as subdomain.domain.com, to SystemeScale and use it as a custom subdomain in your sales funnels and blogs.
What you will need:
- A SystemeScale account
- A domain name purchased from GoDaddy
β οΈ
Complete the first subdomain step before continuing
Please follow the first step in the subdomain integration article before following the GoDaddy DNS instructions on this page.
π
Start with the subdomain integration guide
Add your subdomain to SystemeScale first, then return here to complete the GoDaddy DNS records.
Step 1: Add your custom subdomain in SystemeScale
After adding the subdomain in SystemeScale, log in to your GoDaddy account to access your DNS settings.
Each subdomain added to SystemeScale has its own CNAME records that must be added to your domain host.
βΉοΈ
Example subdomain used in this guide
In this example, the subdomain example.sio-team.live is being connected to SystemeScale. Your own CNAME values will be generated inside your SystemeScale account.
1
Open Custom Domains
Hover over your profile picture, click Settings, then go to Custom Domains.
2
Add your custom subdomain
Add the custom subdomain you want to connect, such as example.yourdomain.com.
Step 2: Add the first CNAME record in GoDaddy
The first CNAME points your subdomain to the CloudFront target provided by SystemeScale.
1
Open DNS
In your GoDaddy account, go to DNS.
2
Open DNS Records
Click the DNS Records tab for your domain.
3
Add a new record
Click Add New Record.
4
Choose the record type
Select CNAME from the Type menu.
5
Enter the CNAME name
Enter example in the Name field.
6
Enter the CNAME value
Enter d3g8jlanso19g3.cloudfront.net. in the Value field.
7
Save the record
Click Save.
π
If the CNAME already exists
If a CNAME record with the name example already exists, edit its value to d3g8jlanso19g3.cloudfront.net.
Step 3: Add the second CNAME record in GoDaddy
The second CNAME is used for domain validation. Add it using the same process described above.
1
Add another CNAME record
Follow the same process to add a new CNAME record.
2
Enter the validation name
In the Name field, paste the text string that appears before your domain name. In this example, use _1b533156220627db6b35d60d4ba57904.example.
3
Enter the validation value
In the Value field, add _2a03a89e91e0245b3f302cef3a82b1b5.xlfgrmvvlj.acm-validations.aws.
4
Save the record
Click Save.
β οΈ
Use your own generated CNAME records
The records above are examples. Each subdomain added to SystemeScale has its own CNAME records, so copy the exact records shown in your SystemeScale account.
Step 4: Check CNAME propagation
Once the two CNAME records are properly added to your host, you can check their status using DNS Checker.
1
Open DNS Checker
Go to dnschecker.org.
2
Search the full CNAME name
Enter the full CNAME name, including your domain name, into the search bar.
3
Confirm the record value
You should see the same value you added next to a green checkmark. If not, the records have not been added correctly and you need to review your DNS zone.
Important notes
β³
DNS propagation can take time
DNS records can take up to 24β48 hours to propagate completely.
β οΈ
Resolve conflicting DNS records
Sometimes your host may not be able to register a CNAME record because of a conflict with existing DNS records. This usually happens when adding the first CNAME. If this occurs, contact GoDaddy support to determine whether those existing records are necessary or can be safely deleted.
