Manage DNS records

Domains using GoDaddy nameservers can add, edit or delete DNS records in your GoDaddy account.

Domain is registered with GoDaddy and is using GoDaddy nameservers: DNS settings are managed in the GoDaddy account with the domain.
Domain is not registered with GoDaddy and is using GoDaddy nameservers: DNS settings are managed in the GoDaddy account with the domain. This is common when using DNS Hosting.
Domain is not registered with GoDaddy and is not using GoDaddy nameservers: DNS settings are managed through at a different DNS or hosting provider, not GoDaddy.

Add, edit or delete DNS records for domains using GoDaddy nameservers.

A record: The primary DNS record used to connect your domain to an IP address that directs visitors to your website, including subdomains that point to an IP address. Add / Edit / Delete
CNAME: Add a prefix to your domain name that points to another domain or subdomain. A CNAME cannot point to an IP address. Add / Edit / Delete
