DNS Setup on GoDaddy

This guide shows you exactly where to add the DNS records the Lekro dashboard gives you, inside the GoDaddy interface. Keep the dashboard open in another tab — you’ll copy values from it.

1. Open your domain’s DNS page

  1. Sign in to godaddy.com.
  2. Click your name in the top-right, then My Products.
  3. Find the domain you want to connect, and click the DNS button next to it. (On some accounts the link is labeled Manage DNS.)

You should now see a table titled DNS Records.

2. Add the CNAME record

GoDaddy already creates a few default records (A, NS, SOA). Don’t touch those. You’re adding a new one.

  1. Click Add New Record (sometimes shown as a big + button or Add).
  2. Fill in the form:
    • Type: CNAME
    • Name: www (if your domain is www.yourbrand.com)
    • Value: paste edge.lekro.net from the dashboard
    • TTL: leave as 1 hour (the default)
  3. Click Save.

If you see “CNAME record already exists for www”: GoDaddy added a default www CNAME pointing to @. Click the pencil icon next to that existing record and change its Value to edge.lekro.net, then save.

3. Add the verification TXT records (if shown)

If the Lekro dashboard shows one or more TXT records under “Verification records”, repeat the process:

  1. Click Add New Record.
  2. Type: TXT.
  3. Name: copy the TXT name value from the dashboard.
  4. Value: copy the TXT value from the dashboard.
  5. Save.

Repeat once for each TXT record the dashboard shows.

4. (Optional) Forward the bare domain to www

So that visitors who type yourbrand.com (without www) still reach your site:

  1. Back on the domain’s main page, find the Forwarding section.
  2. Click Add under Domain forwarding.
  3. Forward to https://www.yourbrand.com with a 301 (Permanent) redirect.
  4. Save.

5. Click Verify in the Lekro dashboard

Wait about 2 minutes for GoDaddy to publish the change, then go back to the dashboard and click I’ve added the records — Verify. The status should flip to Live.

Troubleshooting

  • “Not ready yet” after several minutes. GoDaddy occasionally takes 10–15 minutes to publish DNS changes. Give it a bit more time and try again.
  • My www CNAME conflicts with an A record. Delete the conflicting A record on the www host before saving the CNAME — only one record type can exist per host.
  • The Name field rejects “www”. Some GoDaddy regions require just www (no dot, no domain). Don’t paste the full hostname into Name.
