Connect Heroku Application with my GoDaddy Domain


I've set up a application on Heroku and have also purchased a domain from GoDaddy.

I searched on Google how to connect my domain to Heroku and I also read the Heroku documentation but I am not able to connect it with my domain.

I am a beginner and have found I need to add cname or domain may be but I don't know how to do it. How can I connect my domain with the heroku app? I need to add DNS on my domain but how to add it?

Please let me know very very basic and detail step by step procedure to connect my domain with the Heroku app please.

    There are 2 steps you need to perform,

    Add the custom domains addon and add the domain your going to use, eg www.mywebsite.com to your application, Running below command to perform this task

    heroku domains:add www.example.com

    Go to your domain registrar control panel and set www.mywebsite.com to be a CNAME entry to yourapp.herokuapp.com assuming you are using the CEDAR stack.

    just put www in value and target is your heroku app like yourname.herokuapp.com
