CNAME Subdomain Setup Guide (GoDaddy)

Step 1. Log in to GoDaddy and go to DNS management

  1. Log in: Log in to your GoDaddy account.

  2. Manage your domain: Find your domain product and click into the "DNS" or "Manage DNS" page.

  3. Go to record management: Find the "Records" section.

Step 2. Add a CNAME record

  1. Click Add: Click the "Add" or "+ Add record" button below the records list.

  2. Select the CNAME type: In the "Type" field, choose CNAME.

  3. Set the hostname (Name):

    • In the "Name" field, enter the subdomain name you want to use.

    • Example: If you want the URL to be events.yourdomain.com, enter events here.

  4. Set the target address (Value):

    • In the "Value" field, enter Feversocial's target domain: proxy.fevercdn.com

    • TTL (Time to Live): We recommend the default value or a shorter interval (e.g. 600 seconds) so the DNS change takes effect faster.

Step 3. Save your settings and notify Feversocial

  1. Confirm and save: Click "Save" to finish adding the CNAME record.

  2. Confirm it was added: Check that your new CNAME record now appears in the DNS records list.

  3. Wait for it to take effect: DNS propagation can take some time (usually anywhere from a few minutes to a few hours).

  4. Finish the CNAME subdomain setup in the Feversocial dashboard: Click here
