How to Connect Your GoDaddy Domain to Systeme IO and Update DNS Settings

In this article, we will guide you through the process of connecting your GoDaddy domain to Systeme IO and updating the DNS settings. This tutorial will help you seamlessly configure your domain to work with Systeme IO, ensuring a smooth transition for your website.

To begin, log in to your GoDaddy account and navigate to the DNS configuration page for your domain. Select the domain you want to connect with Systeme IO and access the DNS records. Next, go to Systeme IO and add your domain, following the given instructions. Copy the DNS configuration provided by Systeme IO and proceed to update the records on GoDaddy.

There are two parts to updating the DNS records on GoDaddy. First, update the existing "www" record with the data provided by Systeme IO. Second, add a new CNAME record with the relevant information. Once the changes are made, allow for a 30-minute propagation period for the settings to take effect.

Additionally, set up forwarding on GoDaddy to ensure seamless redirection from your domain to www.yourdomain.com. This step prevents visitors from encountering errors when accessing your website without the www prefix.

After completing the configuration, use a DNS checker tool to verify that the changes have been implemented correctly. Once the system indicates that your domain is "ready for use," you can proceed with further website setup tasks.
