Transfer Domain From GoDaddy to Odoo

Step 1: Access GoDaddy Domain DNS Settings

  1. From the side menu, select DNS Hosting under Services.
  2. Create a CNAME record www.yourdomain.com pointing to database URL e.g. silverdaletech.odoo.com.
  3. If you want to use the naked domain (e.g. yourdomain.com), you need to redirect yourdomain.com to www.yourdomain.com. Follow "Step 3" to redirect naked domain.

Step 2: Configure CNAME Record

  1. Add CNAME Record: Create a CNAME (Canonical Name) record to direct visitors  subdomain to your Odoo database.
    • Type: CNAME

    • Value: Your Odoo database URL

  4. Set Forwarding: Add your GoDaddy website domain with "www" and choose a forwarding type (e.g., permanent or masked).
    Note: Using "https://" instead of "http://" may result in faster linkage with Odoo.

Step 4: Configure Odoo Settings

  2. Confirm Configuration: Click on "Add Domain" Users can now access your Odoo database by typing either "yourgodaddywebsitedomain.com" or "www.yourgodaddywebsitedomain.com."
