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.

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:

This step will only apply if you added your domain on the Pressable control panel (Step two) a considerable amount of time before pointing the domain via DNS (Step one). If this is the case, you may find that your site doesn’t have an SSL certificate and you will need to re-provision one. You can do that from the Domains tab on your control panel.

Click the Actions button to the right of your domain, then click Retry SSL:

If you already have a valid SSL certificate you may see an error message, but if your site does not yet have a valid certificate this should generate one. You only need to click the icon once, we will include all secondary domains attached to the site in the certificate.

If you are still having trouble with SSL not working as expected please contact our support team for further assistance.
