Having a custom domain for your brand and business enhances your professional image, strengthens brand recognition, and establishes credibility with your audience. In this article, we will cover the full process of integrating your personal domain created with GoDaddy.

• Set Up Your DNS Record

• Contact Our Support Team

Step 1: Creating Your Own Domain (if you have already bought a domain you can proceed to the second step)

1.1 Proceed to the GoDaddy website

Open your web browser and visit the GoDaddy website.

1.2 Create a new account or log in if you have an existing one 

If you don't have a GoDaddy account, click on the "Sign In" button at the top right corner of the page and select "Create Account".
Fill in the required details to create your new account - If you already have a GoDaddy account, sign in using your credentials.

1.3 Register your domain name 

Use the search bar to enter the desired domain name you want to register. 

Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the domain registration process.

Note: Domain registration may involve an annual fee, so make sure to review the pricing details.

1.4 Set up your domain

After successfully registering your domain, refer to GoDaddy's article on setting up a domain for detailed instructions.

Step 2: Set Up Your DNS Record

2.1 Locate the IP address associated with your Trible website

Proceed to your Sales channels platform page and open the "Custom domain" tab

Here, you will find the IP address that you should copy to use in the next steps

2.2 Set up your A record

Access your GoDaddy Portfolio.

Select Domain Edit Options  next to your domain and then select Edit DN  

Select Add New Record.

Enter the details for your new A record:

• Name: The hostname or prefix of the record, without the domain name. Enter @ to put the A record on your root domain.
  
  

• Value: The IP address the record corresponds to. Enter the IP address that you got from your Trible account here.
  
  

• TTL(Time to Live): The amount of time the server should cache information before refreshing. The default setting is 1 hour.

Select Save to add your new record.

Most DNS changes take effect within an hour but could take up to 48 hours to update globally.

Note: Make sure there is only one A record for your chosen custom domain/subdomain. If you have multiple records (either A or AAAA), the custom domain process will not work.

Step 3: Contact Our Support Team 

3.1 Share your domain name and email.

Once you have completed Steps 1 and 2, reach out to our support team.
