Connect your domain at GoDaddy
Add two records at GoDaddy so your site works whether visitors type
yourdomain.com or www.yourdomain.com. It takes a couple of minutes.
Record 1: your root domain
Record type: A
Name / Host: @ (means your root domain)
Value / Points to: 138.197.57.119
Record 2: www
Record type: CNAME
Name / Host: www
Value / Points to: bizporch.com
Step 1: add the A record (your root domain)
- Sign in to GoDaddy and open your Domain Portfolio.
- Select the domain you want to use. This opens its Domain Settings.
- Open the DNS tab.
- Click Add New Record and choose A as the Type.
- In Name, type
@ (this means your root domain). In Value, enter 138.197.57.119. Leave TTL at the default. - Click Save.
Step 2: add the www record
Add this so www.yourdomain.com reaches your site too (we redirect it to your main address automatically):
Add New Record → Type CNAME → Name www → Value @ → Save.

Good to know
- Changes usually take effect within an hour, but can take up to 48 hours.
- These steps only work if your domain uses GoDaddy's nameservers. If you moved DNS elsewhere, edit it there instead.
- If Domain Protection is on, GoDaddy may ask you to verify your identity before saving.
Last step: once you’ve added the record, open your BizPorch dashboard, go to
Custom Domain, and enter your domain. We check your DNS automatically and turn on
a free security certificate as soon as it points here. DNS changes can take a few minutes to a few hours.
