Changing A Records for your domain name at GoDaddy
If your domain name is not registered with us then you will need to make some DNS changes for the domain name to work with our hosting. This can either be by setting the Name Servers to ours or by simply changing the DNS A Records.

There should be A records for both your domainname.com and www.domainname.com or host @ and www. These will both need editing. If these don't exist the please add 2 new A records by selecting add and choose the type A. One should have the host @ and the other the host www. Both of these records should be set to our IP 81.88.163.11, then go to step 9.

Select Edit next to the A record you want to edit.
-
Edit the details for your A records so that the value (IP) is 81.88.163.11
