I entered all the info for domain setup with GODADDY but 24 hours later it still doesn't work. Talked to their tech support & they said that their system cannot complete handshake with FTH. Here is a copy of email from GODADDY:

You need to use the docs for this... Custom domains are an advanced feature. Must pay attention to details in the doc.
support.toastmastersclubs.org/component/...r-various-registrars
Please refer your domain registar customer service to the doc.

RAYO 1433800 Still can't connect GODADDY & FTH. They say that I have to update my zone file record at FTH. I don't know how to do that.
Also here is a new problem. When I go to club website 1433800.toastmastersclubs.org , I can see the site but unable to make changes when logged in as admin. Received the following error message:
You have errors in your form below. Please scroll down and correct the following:
Basic Settings Tab - This domain is not yet pointing to the IP address 50.19.253.65. In your domain registrar's DNS area, modify the exisitng "A" and "MX" records for this domain, to point to 50.19.253.65, wait the amount of time as specified by your domain host, then try again.

Did you refer your registrar to the doc I posted the link for?
I see your WHOIS information: www.viewdns.info/whois/?domain=crystalbeachtm.ca
*All* DNS-related tasks to set this up must be done via your registrar.
I do not see any DNS records set up for this domain: www.viewdns.info/dnsrecord/?domain=crystalbeachtm.ca
You are getting the error because you entered a domain name in the basic settings tab that is not set up correctly.
As I indicated previously, custom domain names is an advanced feature. You need to follow our docs and directions to get this set up correctly. We have quite a few clubs that use a custom domain name but some run into the same initial challenges in getting their DNS records set up correctly--patience and persistence is required. I wish we could make it simpler, but it kind of "is what it is".
