How Can I Connect My GoDaddy Domain to My Bubble App?

Integrating a custom domain purchased from GoDaddy with your Bubble app involves several steps, including configuring DNS records and verifying your settings. This guide combines instructions and best practices to help you successfully connect your domain.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare Your Domain

Purchase your domain from a registrar such as GoDaddy, Google Domains, or Namecheap. Bubble does not provide domains directly but supports external domain connections.

2. Add Your Domain in Bubble

In your Bubble editor, navigate to Settings > Domain/email.
Enter your custom domain in the provided field (e.g., [yourdomain.com](https://yourdomain.com)).
Click Set up this domain. Bubble will generate DNS records. These typically include A records (IP addresses) required for domain configuration.

3. Configure DNS Settings in GoDaddy

Log in to your GoDaddy account and visit the DNS settings for your purchased domain.
Add A records as instructed by Bubble. Typically: - Use “@” as the Name/Host for the root domain (e.g., [example.com](https://example.com)). - Add another A record for “www” as the Name/Host. - Use the specific IP addresses provided in Bubble. Avoid using generic or example IPs from documentation.

4. Verify DNS Configuration in Bubble

Return to Bubble and click Check my settings in the Domain/email section.
Bubble will confirm if the DNS records are correctly configured.
If DNS records are incorrect, review your GoDaddy settings and make necessary corrections. Allow time for DNS changes to propagate (this may take up to 48 hours).
