Connect a Godaddy domain to your app

​

Before you start

• Access to the Zite app you want to connect
• Access to the Godaddy account that manages your domain
• Permission to edit DNS records for that domain

​

Connect your domain

1

Open custom domain settings in Zite

Open your Zite app settings and go to the custom domain section. Enter the domain you want to use, then note the DNS records Zite asks you to add.

2

Open DNS Management in Godaddy

Log in to Godaddy, open your domain, then go to DNS Management. Make sure you are on the DNS Records tab.Click Add New Record.

3

Add the A record

Add an A record with these values:

Field	Value
Type	A
Name	@
Value	34.214.61.222
TTL	1 Hour

This points your root domain, like acme.com, to Zite.

4

Add the CNAME record

Click Add More Records, then add a CNAME record with these values:

Field	Value
Type	CNAME
Name	www
Value	sites.zite.com
TTL	1 Hour

This points www.acme.com to your Zite app.

5

Save and verify in Zite

Click Save All Records in Godaddy.Return to Zite and click I've added the records. Zite will check the DNS records and connect your domain once they are visible.

​

If Zite still shows DNS issues

• The A record uses @ as the name and 34.214.61.222 as the value.
• The CNAME record uses www as the name and sites.zite.com as the value.
• There is not another A record for @ pointing somewhere else.
• There is not another CNAME record for www pointing somewhere else.
• The records were saved in the DNS manager for the same domain you entered in Zite.
