Re: FN-FORUM: buying a domain off 123reg

date posted 15th July 2005 14:06

Change the content address in the 'www' part to the IP address of your
web server.

Change the content address of the [EMAIL REMOVED] to the IP address of the mail
server handling mail for that domain.

Change the MX records to your ones if you have them. I have for some
hosting and not for others.

If you want a subdomain (e.g. blah.deltatraffic.co.uk) add a new 'A'
entry within 'Add new entry' with 'blah' in the left field of the form
and the IP address in the right hand side.

To set up 'ftp' (e.g. ftp.deltatraffic.co.uk) I have mine set as 'ftp'
in the left hand part of the 'Add new entry', 'CNAME' in the drop down
list, then 'deltatraffic.co.uk' in the right hand side (or whatever your
domain is.)


With all of these you'll need your webserver configured to expect
traffic for the new domain and know what to show them.


Cheers

Paul
