Pointing gigspeed.com at the new site

Two changes inside your existing GoDaddy account. Nothing is transferred, nothing is bought, and your email is not touched.

Where GoDaddy DNS Time About 5 minutes Email risk None Reversible Yes

Read this first. This is not a domain transfer. You keep gigspeed.com at GoDaddy, you keep paying GoDaddy, and you stay the owner. All you are doing is telling the domain which server to show visitors. If you ever want to go back to the old site, you undo these two records and it returns.

See what you are pointing at

This is the site that will be live on gigspeed.com once the two records below are saved. Worth opening it first so there are no surprises.

Everything you need from us

These are the only two values you need. Both records go in GoDaddy DNS for gigspeed.com.

Record 1 of 2 · DNS record
TypeCNAME
Namewww
Valuegigspeed-redesign.pages.dev
TTL1 Hour (or leave the default)
Record 2 of 2 · Domain forwarding
Forwardgigspeed.com
Tohttps://www.gigspeed.com
TypePermanent (301)
SettingsForward only

Already done on our side. Both gigspeed.com and www.gigspeed.com are configured on the hosting and are waiting for these records. The HTTPS certificate is issued automatically once your change goes live, so there is nothing to buy or install.

Do not touch anything labeled MX, TXT, or SPF. Those run your Google email. The two records above are the only things that change. For reference, these are the rows to leave alone:

MX aspmx.l.google.com  (priority 1)
MX alt1.aspmx.l.google.com, alt2.aspmx.l.google.com  (priority 5)
MX alt3.aspmx.l.google.com, alt4.aspmx.l.google.com  (priority 10)
TXT v=spf1 include:dc-aa8e722993._spfm.gigspeed.com ~all
TXT google-site-verification=...
TXT MS=ms91954265

Step 1: Point www at the new site

1 Open your DNS records

  1. Sign in at godaddy.com
  2. Top right, click your name, then My Products
  3. Find gigspeed.com and click DNS next to it

You are now looking at a table of DNS records.

2 Find the www row

Look down the Name column for a row that says www. Right now its value is:

Currentlypointing.wixdns.net

That is the old Wix address. Click the pencil or Edit icon on that row. If there is no www row at all, click Add New Record instead.

3 Change the value

Set the row to Record 1 from above:

TypeCNAME
Namewww
Valuegigspeed-redesign.pages.dev
TTL1 Hour

Click Save. If GoDaddy warns that an existing record will be replaced, that is expected.

Step 2: Send the bare domain to www

4 Set up forwarding

This makes gigspeed.com with no www land on the same site.

  1. On that same DNS page, find the Forwarding section, or click the Forwarding tab
  2. Click Add Forwarding under Domain
  3. Forward to: https://www.gigspeed.com
  4. Forward type: Permanent (301)
  5. Settings: Forward only
  6. Click Save

Step 3: Check it worked

5 Give it a few minutes, then test

  1. Open https://www.gigspeed.com in a private or incognito window
  2. You should see the new site with a padlock in the address bar
  3. Then open https://gigspeed.com with no www and confirm it lands in the same place

Most changes show up within an hour. GoDaddy says it can take up to 48 hours to reach everyone. If your own computer still shows the old site for a while, that is usually just browser cache, which is why the incognito window helps.

6 Send Ralph a note

That is everything on your side. Once you confirm it is saved, the final checks get handled from here.

How to undo it

If you ever want the old Wix site back, put the www record back to its original value and delete the forwarding rule:

Original values, before the change
www CNAMEpointing.wixdns.net
Apex A185.230.63.107

Nothing else needs to change to revert.

If something looks wrong

The browser says the connection is not secure. The certificate is issued automatically once the DNS change is visible, and it can take a few minutes after the record goes live. If it is still showing after an hour, say so and it gets sorted from this end.

You see a GoDaddy parked page or an error. Double check the CNAME value has no https:// and no trailing slash. It should read exactly gigspeed-redesign.pages.dev.

Email. Nothing above touches mail. If you ever want to confirm, check that your MX rows still end in aspmx.l.google.com.

Prepared for GigSpeed Communications. The destination gigspeed-redesign.pages.dev is live and both gigspeed.com and www.gigspeed.com are already attached on the hosting side, waiting on the two records above.
