GoDaddy: Grant Domain Access

Steps

1. 1

   Sign in to your GoDaddy account

   Go to godaddy.com and click Sign In in the top-right corner. Use the email address and password associated with your GoDaddy account. If you use Google or Facebook to sign in, that works too.

   Tip: If you’ve forgotten your password, click Forgot Password on the sign-in page. GoDaddy will send a reset link to your email.
2. 2

   Go to My Products

   Once you’re logged in, click your name or initials in the top-right corner, then select My Products from the dropdown menu. This page shows everything tied to your GoDaddy account, including your domains.

3. 3

   Find your domain and open DNS settings

   Scroll down to the Domains section. Find the domain you’d like us to manage and click the DNS button next to it. If you don’t see a DNS button, click the three-dot menu icon on the right side of the domain row and select Manage DNS.

4. 4

   Option A (recommended): Update your nameservers

   This is the standard setup we use for all projects. On the DNS page, scroll down to the Nameservers section. Click the Change button (or Edit on some account layouts).

5. 5

   Enter custom nameservers

   Select Enter my own nameservers (advanced). You’ll see two input fields. Type or paste the nameserver addresses we sent you, one per field. If there are more than two, click Add Nameserver to add extra fields. Double-check each address for typos.

   Tip: Nameserver addresses usually look something like ns1.example.com and ns2.example.com. Copy and paste them from our email to avoid mistakes.
6. 6

   Save your changes

   Click Save. GoDaddy may show a confirmation dialog warning that changing nameservers will affect your DNS. This is expected. Confirm the change by clicking Continue or Yes, I consent.

   Nameserver changes typically take effect within a few hours, but can take up to 24 to 48 hours to fully propagate. We’ll confirm on our end once everything is connected.

7. 7

   Option B (alternative): Delegate DNS access instead

   If you’re unable to change your nameservers (for example, your hosting provider requires their own nameservers), there’s an alternative. Go to the DNS management page for your domain and look for a section called Delegate Access near the bottom. Click Invite to Access, enter the email address we provided, and select DNS Management as the permission level. Click Send Invitation to complete the process.

   This lets us manage your DNS records directly in GoDaddy. We recommend Option A (nameserver change) whenever possible, as it gives us the most control over performance and security for your site.
