I replaced WordPress with Replit again. 11x since June 1, 2025. In this video I walk through the process of pointing DNS from WordPress / WP Engine over to Replit using GoDaddy with the new Agent 3. I show step by step how to remove old A and CNAME records, add the new records provided by Replit, and verify the domain connection.
This walkthrough shows exactly what happens during DNS changes: how to find the correct records, common mistakes to avoid, the short downtime window during propagation, and how fast the site goes live once the updates are complete.
By the end, the site is live on Replit in just 16 minutes and 45 seconds, under 20 minutes total, demonstrating how quick and reliable it is to move away from WordPress hosting and onto a modern AI ready platform.
