GoDaddy DNS setup
Operations
Adding records in the GoDaddy domain manager.
- Log into GoDaddy. Go to My Products → Domains → your domain → DNS.
- Scroll to DNS Records and click Add for each record.
- GoDaddy's TXT editor has a known issue with long strings — it silently truncates. If your DKIM isn't verifying after adding it, open the record in edit mode and confirm the full value is stored.
- For MX records, use GoDaddy's dedicated MX entry type (priority and host in separate fields).
- GoDaddy propagation can be slow — budget 30-60 minutes before re-verifying.
If GoDaddy's DNS editor refuses to save the DKIM TXT record because it's "too long", switch to their advanced DNS editor or temporarily disable any security plugins on the domain.
