Verify your Domain – GoDaddy
To enter CNAMEs into GoDaddy:
- In TE Recruit, navigate to Settings => Email => Verify Domain
- In a new tab (CTRL+N), go to GoDaddy.com and Sign In using the button in the upper right corner
- Select the My Products link
- Click the DNS link to the right of the domain you need to add our CNAME's to. This is typically the domain of the email address you use to login to TE Recruit with.
- Scroll to the bottom of the DNS Management and click Add
- You will see 4 fields:
- In the Type dropdown: select CNAME
- Now you can toggle between the TE Recruit tab you left open (the first step in this list) to get the values from the Verify Domain page and put them into this GoDaddy page
- In TE Recruit, press the Copy button to the left of the Host entry in the first row of the Domain Keys table
- Toggle back to GoDaddy and paste the value into the blank Host field
- Toggle back to TE Recruit and click the Copy button to the left of the Value entry in the first row of the table
- Toggle back to GoDaddy and paste the value into the blank Points to field
- Leave the TTL field set to its default value
- Click Save
- Repeat the above steps for the other 4 rows in the TE Recruit Verify Domains table until you’ve put all 5 CNAME pairs into the GoDaddy fields
- You'll notice, the Copy button text turns into Copied when you click them - this will help you remember where you left off
- You’re all set! Now from here:
- Return to the Verify your Domain page in TE Recruit, and click on the green Verify button at the bottom of the page.
- If your domain shows as “Verified” at the top of the screen, you’re good to go!
- If it shows an error message or two, there’s a couple of possibilities:
- GoDaddy does say that it may take 24-48 hours for the information to propagate across the internet, though it usually doesn’t take longer than 5-10 minutes. It might be a good idea to try back in another day.
- If it continues to give error messages, you’ll likely want to contact GoDaddy’s support team to check and see that everything was added correctly.
