# Connect GoDaddy Domain
**Note:** If you have another provider, you can most likely follow these same steps.
***
## Add CNAME record
Choose **CNAME** as the **Type.** For base domains, such as [**mydomain.com**](http://mydomain.com), enter the name:
```text theme={null}
_acme-challenge
```
For subdomains such as **brand.mydomain.com**, enter the name:
```text theme={null}
_acme-challenge.brand
```
Where “brand” is whatever you chose to add to Standards.
From Standards, copy the CNAME record value. In GoDaddy paste the value into the field.
***
## Add A record
In Godaddy, find the **A record** under **DNS Records.** Click ✏️ (Edit icon)
For base domains, such as [**mydomain.com**](http://mydomain.com), enter `@` in the **Name** field. For subdomains, such as **brand**[**.mydomain.com**](http://identity.mydomain.com), enter the subdomain portion `brand`.
From Standards, copy the A record value. In GoDaddy paste the value into the field.
***
## Check status
Return to the **Domains** page in Standards to check the status of the connection. Connection can take up to 72 hours, but typically connects much quicker.
***
## Publish
Once connected, the domain will be available for use in publishing. Publish to the domain through the Publish & share window within the web address section. Learn more about [publishing](/publish-share).
