Connect a GoDaddy domain
Connect your GoDaddy domain to a Pineapple website by adding the DNS records shown in that website's domain settings. Domain registration stays with your registrar; the website stays in Pineapple.
Get the required records from Pineapple
Select the correct workspace and website. Open Settings → Domain, enter your domain, select its provider and choose Connect domain. You need workspace owner access and a plan with custom-domain support.
Keep the resulting DNS records screen open. Copy its current values rather than using an IP address or destination from an older tutorial.
Update DNS at GoDaddy
Sign in to your GoDaddy Domain Portfolio and select the domain.
Open DNS to view its records.
Choose Add New Record, select the required type and enter the values shown in Pineapple.
Save the record. Repeat for the other records Pineapple requests.
GoDaddy uses the Name field for the host or prefix. Use the root-domain or subdomain name appropriate to the record shown in Pineapple, and put the destination in Value.
If GoDaddy is not your active DNS host, edit the records at the provider named by your nameservers. You do not need to change nameservers just because the website is hosted on Pineapple.
See GoDaddy's current CNAME instructions for its record fields and save controls.
Check the connection
Add any ownership-verification TXT record requested by Pineapple. Remove only the specific conflicting website records identified during setup; preserve email-related MX records and unrelated TXT records.
Return to Pineapple after saving the changes and check the connection. Allow time for DNS changes to become visible. Check both the root domain and www version, and complete Finish setup if it is offered.
A connected domain still needs published pages. Make sure your homepage is published, then open the website using the domain.
