Note: that if you already have email hosting for your domain, we recommend getting in touch with us prior to changing the name servers to minimize/prevent any email downtime.
Pointing GoDaddy A Records to Pressable
Log into your GoDaddy account and navigate to your domain manager.
Press the “DNS” button to the right of your domain name.
Locate your current DNS records, which will look similar to the following:
Modify the existing A record, with the name of @, to point to one of your Pressable IPs.
Click “Add”, and create another record where your host is “@”, your IP is “199.16.173.41”, and TTL (time to live) is “1/2 Hour”:
Once saved, your records should look like this:
In some cases, the “www” record may be a separate A record, and not a CNAME record. In other words, rather than having “@” as its value, it will have an IP address; in our example, 199.16.172.147.
In this case, you can either remove the “www” record and create a CNAME (as above), or you can change the IP address and add a new one, similarly to what was done for the “@” record above. It may look something like this:
