Giving Levr access to your GoDaddy account

We need to add one DNS record so your funnel can live at an address like go.yourdomain.com. Your existing website stays exactly where it is.

Time to complete

About 3 minutes

What you share

No password, ever

Who stays in control

You. Revoke anytime

Before you start

You need to be signed in as the owner of the GoDaddy account — delegates can't invite other delegates. If someone else in your business bought the domain, forward this guide to them instead.

What we’re actually asking for

One new DNS record, added alongside your existing ones. Nothing we do removes or edits a record that serves your current site. Think of your domain as a building: your website is the front door at yourdomain.com, and we’re adding a side door at go.yourdomain.com. The front door is untouched.

There are two ways to let us do that. Option A is faster and is what we recommend. Option B means we never touch your account at all. Both work — pick whichever you’re comfortable with.

Option A — Delegate access

GoDaddy’s official way to let someone manage your domain without sharing a password. You keep two-factor authentication, and you can revoke us in one click. About three minutes.

Open your Delegate Access page

Go to account.godaddy.com/access. You'll be asked to sign in. You can also reach it from your profile under Account Settings → Delegate Access.

Select "Invite to Access"

It sits under the heading People who can access my account, near the top of the page.

Enter our details exactly as written

The email has to match the one on our agency GoDaddy account, or the invite won't reach us.

Copy these into the invite form

Name

Levr

fraser@wearelevr.com

Choose the access level

GoDaddy offers three. Pick the narrowest one:

—Products, Domains & Purchase — far more than we need. It allows spending on your saved card. Don't pick this.
—Products & Domains — also fine, but wider than the job needs. Only choose this if we've told you we're working on your email records too.
→Domains only — what we ask for. Lets us manage domain records and nothing else. No payment methods, no account settings, no other products.

Select "Invite"

GoDaddy emails us the invitation. The invite expires if it isn't accepted within 48–72 hours, so send it when you know we're expecting it.

Turn on folder management access

This is the step almost everyone misses

Delegate access alone doesn't always carry domain permissions. Go to dcc.godaddy.com/folders, select the pencil icon beside All Domains, switch Management Access to On, and save.

Without this, we can see the account but can't change a single record — which usually shows up as a day lost to back-and-forth.

Tell us it's sent

Drop us a message once it's away. We have to accept manually, and GoDaddy will notify you the moment we do.

Option B — You add the record yourself

If you’d rather we never had access to your account, add the record yourself. We’ll send you the exact values.

Type	CNAME
Host / Name	go — or whichever prefix you prefer
Points to	we send you this exact value
TTL	Auto, or 1 hour

In GoDaddy, go to My Products, select DNS beside your domain, then Add New Record. Copy and paste the values rather than retyping them — a single wrong character is the difference between working and not.

Changes usually take effect within minutes. GoDaddy quotes up to 48 hours as a worst case, which is rare. Your existing site is unaffected throughout.

Will this affect my website or my rankings?

No to both, and it’s worth knowing exactly why rather than taking our word for it.

Will my site go offline?

No. We add a record; we never delete or edit the ones that serve your current site. There’s no downtime and no maintenance window.

Will my search rankings drop?

No. Google treats a subdomain as a separate address. Creating go.yourdomain.com changes nothing about how yourdomain.com is evaluated.

Does Google penalise subdomains?

No. Running funnels, booking pages and stores on subdomains is standard practice across most businesses online.

Are you moving or redirecting my site?

No. We never change your nameservers, redirect your main domain, or move content. Those are the things that cause SEO damage, and none of them happen here.

Is it reversible?

Entirely, in minutes. A subdomain record is deleted as easily as it was added.

If we ever need to touch something that already exists, we tell you before we do it and explain what and why. On a normal funnel build it never comes up.

What this does and doesn't give us

We can

•Edit DNS records and nameservers
•Point your domain at funnels, sites and tracking
•Set up email authentication records
•Add the subdomain your funnel runs on

We can't

•See or change your password
•See or use your payment methods
•Transfer the domain out of your name
•Invite anyone else, or change account settings

Ownership of the domain stays with you throughout. We recommend every client keep registrar ownership in their own name permanently, including after working with us.

If something goes wrong

There's no Delegate Access option

You're likely signed in to a delegate account rather than the owner account, or to the wrong GoDaddy login. Sign out fully and back in with the account that holds the domain.

The invite expired before we accepted

Cancel the pending invite and send a fresh one. They lapse after 48–72 hours.

We've accepted but still can't edit records

Step 6 is almost always the cause. Check that Management Access is switched on for the All Domains folder.

You'd rather not grant account access at all

That's a reasonable position. Tell us and we'll send the exact records to enter instead — it's slower and more error-prone, but it works.

Removing our access later

Return to the Delegate Access page, find us under people with access, and select Remove. It takes effect immediately and needs no notice to us.

Stuck anywhere in this, send me a screenshot of what you're looking at and I'll point at the button.
