Add here with masking option

Please know that you can add your domain to your hosting account “the right way” (without URL masking), while still using email from Go Daddy, or even use Go Daddy’s nameservers if you want.

To add your domain name to your account, you must point the domain to our nameservers. But after the domain is setup, you’re free to move the domain back to Go Daddy’s nameservers. After that, you’ll only need to setup the correct DNS records at Go Daddy so your website traffic goes to the server your website is on.

This guide is written for Cloudflare, but the process is largely the same with most other external DNS hosting services: A Full Guide To Cloudflare

Alternatively, you can configure our nameservers for email sending from Go Daddy. DNS controls on free hosting are limited though, you can set your MX and SPF records to send and receive emails, but DKIM and DMARC cannot be configured on our end. If you need those

So, again: what problem?

I just tried to check your website, but I’m seeing a connection timeout error. This seems to be caused by the current web server tried to redirect your site from HTTP to HTTPS, but the configured IP addresses to not respond to HTTPS connections.

If this is the problem you are referring to, then I can tell you with absolutely certainty that this is 100% a Go Daddy problem. Go Daddy’s masking service is not responding to HTTPS connections, and Go Daddy’s masking service is forcing the HTTPS redirect. There is no possible way we could send this redirect from our end, or control whether or not your domain name is using HTTPS. After all, your domain is technically not hosted by us.
