One-click setup — no DNS knowledge needed
GoDaddy supports automatic DNS configuration via their "Domain Connect" standard. Just click Auto-configure in your dashboard, approve the popup in GoDaddy, and you're done. It updates your A record and TXT verification token automatically.
1
Enter your domain in the dashboard
- →Go to your ServiceProMagic dashboard and open Domain Settings
- →Type your GoDaddy domain name (e.g. yourbusiness.com) in the input field
- →Click "Detect DNS" — we'll confirm it's a GoDaddy domain
You'll see a blue card labeled "One-click DNS setup" appear once we detect GoDaddy nameservers.
2
Click "Auto-configure →"
- →Click the "Auto-configure →" button in the blue card
- →A GoDaddy popup window will open asking you to approve the changes
GoDaddy uses a standard called "Domain Connect" that lets trusted services update your DNS automatically — the same technology used by Squarespace and Office 365.
3
Approve in the GoDaddy popup
- →Review the changes listed in the GoDaddy popup
- →Click "Connect" or "Authorize" to approve
- →The popup will close automatically when done
GoDaddy will automatically update your A record and add the TXT verification record. No manual editing needed!
4
Verification begins automatically
- →After the popup closes, your dashboard will start verifying your DNS
- →GoDaddy DNS changes usually propagate in 5–30 minutes
- →You'll see a green "Verified" badge when everything is confirmed
That's it! Auto-configure handles everything: the A record, CNAME, and TXT verification token.
Troubleshooting
"I don't see a DNS button"
→ Try clicking the three-dot menu (⋮) next to your domain name — "Manage DNS" will be in that menu.
"I can't find the A record with the "WebsiteBuilder Site" value"
→ GoDaddy may display it as a plain IP address (like 184.168.x.x) with Name "@". Delete any A record with "@" as the name unless you know it's pointing to something you set up yourself.
"I get an error saying the CNAME record already exists"
→ There's an existing CNAME for www. Click the pencil ✏️ icon to edit it instead of adding a new one.
"I don't see a Forwarding section below the DNS records"
→ Try scrolling all the way to the bottom of the DNS management page. In some GoDaddy layouts it's collapsed — look for a "Forwarding" heading or a "+" button near the bottom.
"Will this affect my GoDaddy email?"
→ Only if you accidentally delete an MX record. Do NOT delete any records with Type "MX" — those are for email. Only delete the A record with Value "WebsiteBuilder Site" as instructed in Step 3. Everything else can stay.
"It's been over an hour and it's still not working"
→ Use dnschecker.org to check if your CNAME for "www" is resolving to sites.servicepromagic.com — select "CNAME" from the dropdown. If it shows up there, your DNS is done and we just need to verify it. Still stuck? Email support@servicepromagic.com.
"The auto-configure popup opened but nothing happened"
→ Make sure pop-ups are allowed for GoDaddy. Try refreshing and clicking Auto-configure again. If it still doesn't work, use the Manual Setup tab.
