Give any Odyssey project a clean, branded link your clients will love. Two quick steps — one in Netlify, one in GoDaddy.
app.netlify.comacme-dashboardacme for acme.odysseyventures.worldGo to app.netlify.com and sign in with the Odyssey team account. You'll land on the team dashboard showing all our sites.
Find the project you want to give a custom URL and click on it to open the site overview.
In the left sidebar, click "Domain management" (under Site configuration). This is where you connect custom domains.
Click the "Add a domain" button. In the text field, type the full subdomain you want:
clientname.odysseyventures.world
Click "Verify", then "Add domain". Netlify will show a warning that DNS needs to be configured — that's expected. We'll do that next in GoDaddy.
You'll see a message like "Check DNS configuration" with an AWAITING EXTERNAL DNS badge. That's normal — it means Netlify is ready, and now we just need to point the DNS.
Go to the odysseyventures.world DNS management page in GoDaddy (My Products → odysseyventures.world → DNS). You'll see the existing DNS records for the domain.
| Type | Name | Value | TTL |
|---|---|---|---|
| A | @ | 76.76.21.21 | 1 Hour |
| CNAME | www | odysseyventures.world | 1 Hour |
| NS | @ | ns1.domaincontrol.com | 1 Hour |
Click "Add New Record" and fill in these fields:
| Type | CNAME |
| Name | The subdomain slug — e.g., acme |
| Value | The Netlify site URL — e.g., acme-dashboard.netlify.app |
| TTL | Leave as default (usually 1 hour) |
Click "Save".
DNS changes usually take 5 to 30 minutes to propagate. After that, open your new URL in a browser:
https://acme.odysseyventures.world
The site should load with a valid HTTPS certificate. The SSL certificate may take an extra few minutes on the first visit.
That's it! Your client project is now live at a branded Odyssey URL. Share it with confidence.
Pick a short, recognizable slug that your client and their team will remember.
The subdomain is already assigned to another site in our team. Check other sites, or remove it from the old site's Domain management first.
The SSL certificate is still provisioning. Wait 10-15 minutes and refresh. If it persists, go to Domain management in Netlify and click "Verify DNS configuration."
DNS hasn't propagated yet. Wait 30 minutes. Double-check the CNAME record in GoDaddy — the Name should be just the slug (e.g., acme), not the full domain.
In Netlify: go to Domain management, find the custom domain, click "..." → "Remove domain." In GoDaddy: delete the CNAME record.
