Your hard work has finally paid off. My website has never looked better. I'm proud to point my customers to my site thanks to Doodlekit. I had a blast testing things out and found very few issues. A job well done.

I have been playing around with the new features and I'm in love... :). Absolutely superb, easy to manipulate, the color combination are endless, the overall feeling is just fantastic. Bravo for your amazing work!

So far so good, enjoying my site. After messing around with several other website builders I like the Doodlekit framework the best. Very clean :). I won't be going back to WordPress.

Topic: Setting Up Your Pre-Existing Domain Through Godaddy

Doodlekit.com Ben Kittrell  04/22/2007 09:41AM

Updated!

If you already have a domain name through Godaddy, you can still use it with Doodlekit without much trouble.

STEP 1

1. Login to your Godaddy account
2. Click on "My Account" and then "Manage Domains"
3. Check the box next to your domain and click "Nameservers" at the top
4. Click the "Custom Namservers" tab
5. Enter ns1.doodlekit.com for Namserver 1
6. Enter ns2.doodlekit.com for Namserver 2
7. Click Save

STEP 2

Log in to your Doodlekit site and click on Settings then Domain Name from the Admin section. Make sure that your domain name is correct in the "Domain Name" field (example: mywebsite.com).

These changes can sometimes take up to 24 hours to take effect.

WARNING: This will point everything associated with your domain name to Doodlekit's servers, including E-Mail. If you're using an E-Mail host such as Gmail or GoDaddy you'll need to setup the MX DNS Records as well.

Thank you for the help

 Windward Technology  01/15/2008 06:31PM 

I followed the above directions in post #1 and everything works fine when using Firefox but not IE.

IE only works when the full domain is entered: www.domain.com If only domain.com is entered the page is not found. I made sure the forwarding is setup as directed above, but it isn't working.

Any ideas?

 Ben  01/17/2008 11:04AM 

I'm going to look back over this and I'll get back to you.

 Windward Technology  01/24/2008 04:01PM 

Ben, any fix for this yet?

Doodlekit.com Ben Kittrell  01/25/2008 03:53AM Doodlekit.com

Yeah, I sent you an email.

For everyone else, I've updated the instructions.

 Tracy  02/29/2008 02:28AM 

ok purchase it, now what? I don't want to do my website all over again, i like mine. help

 Deanna Montz  10/09/2009 06:59AM 

I have been trying to get my domain name to point for a couple of weeks now and have followed the directions exactly but it still won't work...Now what should I do.

2 Heath Huffman  10/09/2009 09:15AM 2

Are these the instructions you followed: http://doodlekit.com/forum/topic/246

It looks like the changes haven't been made. The DNS servers are still pointed to the old host.

 Tricia Harding  02/09/2011 12:39PM 

I followed the instructions for godaddy but it isn't working. On my godaddy account management page, the nameservers are correct. I've also checked my Admin Domain page at Doodlekit, and that seems correct, too. Any thoughts?
