Configuring Static.app DNS records on Godaddy

When opting to establish your website's online presence, the domain name is likely to be the first to prioritize, which will need to point to your website hosting. If you purchased a domain from the Godaddy registrar and you wish to configure your Static.app website DNS record, you will need to add an A record and TXT record to your domain under your Godaddy account’s dashboard in order to use own your domain with Static.app.

The procedure is quite simple; the following tutorial will guide you through the configuration process within your Godaddy interface.

Adding an A record

Visit Domain Control Center.

Click on the domain you want to work with from the domain's list.

On the Domains Settings page, click on the Manage DNS link located on the right side of the page.

Next, click on the Add New button located in the last column to add a new record.

Note: Under the Domains Settings page, Static.app provides an A-record that you need to add to your Godaddy account. This can be seen by clicking on the three-dot icons in the lower corner of the website project you are working on, then clicking on the Domains link.

To add the Static.app A record to your Godaddy account, select A from the drop-down menu for Type, and do the following:

In the Name field, enter @ sign to point your root domain to the IP address provided by Static.app on the Domains Settings page.
In the Value field, copy and paste your IP address provided by Static.app on the Domains Settings
For the TTL drop-down, select ½ Hour.
Once finished, review the form and click on the Add Record

Note: If you wish to add www support to your custom domain and make it work with the "www" substring on the URL (e.g www.yourdomain.com), you will need to add an A record and enter www on the Name field, and then copy and paste your IP address on the Value field provided by Static.app on the Domains Settings page. For the TTL drop-down, select ½ Hour.

Most DNS updates take effect within an hour or less, while global updates might take up to 48 hours. Most devices and browsers save or cache information about your website to be more efficient.

Adding TXT (Text) record

Navigate to Domain Control Center.

Click on the domain you want to work with from the domain’s list.

Click on the Manage DNS link located in the right section of the page on the Domains Settings page,
