GoDaddy

Table of Contents

DNSimple supports the ability to manage domains that are registered through GoDaddy. You can manage your GoDaddy domains at DNSimple by linking your GoDaddy account as an Integrated Domain Provider to DNSimple.

How GoDaddy integration works

When you link your GoDaddy account to DNSimple, DNSimple uses GoDaddy’s API to read domain information and perform certain management operations. The integration creates a bridge between DNSimple’s interface and GoDaddy’s registration system, allowing you to manage GoDaddy-registered domains through DNSimple while the domains remain registered with GoDaddy. This means GoDaddy continues to be the registrar of record, and all registration-related billing goes through your GoDaddy account.
