Question / Issue
How do I point my domain to my new website using GoDaddy?

  2. Click on the My Account Button.
  3. Expand the domains by clicking the + next to Domains.
  4. Click the green Launch button next to the domain that you want to modify.
  5. Under the section called DNS Manager, click the link that says Launch
  6. Under the A (Host) section, modify the @ record to display 40.118.204.124.
  7. Under the CNAME (Alias)section, modify the www record to display consumer.insurancewebsitebuilder.com.
  8. You may need to remove existing records to add these successfully.
  9. Notify the Insurance Website Builder support team that you have completed these changes.
