Wow, that is a really long domain name... your website visitors probably will not like having to type all that.

In any case, on your registrar's website, you need to edit your dns settings as follows:

Delete the following:
empireboardofrealtisttoastmasterclub.com A 209.212.158.105
empireboardofrealtisttoastmasterclub.com MX-10 empireboardofrealtisttoastmasterclub.com

Add 3 Class A DNS records:
empireboardofrealtisttoastmasterclub.com A 50.19.253.65
www.empireboardofrealtisttoastmasterclub.com A 50.19.253.65
mail.empireboardofrealtisttoastmasterclub.com A 50.19.253.65

Add 1 MX record for email:
empireboardofrealtisttoastmasterclub.com MX-10 mail.empireboardofrealtisttoastmasterclub.com

Once you have done the above, then enter your new domain name in the admin console, Basic Settings tab.

Hi Steve,

Delete the following from where?
Delete the following:
empireboardofrealtisttoastmasterclub.com A 209.212.158.105
empireboardofrealtisttoastmasterclub.com MX-10 empireboardofrealtisttoastmasterclub.com

I do not recall seeing this. The registrar is Namesilo.com They offer three DNS change
NS1.the name of my hosting server
NS2.the name of my hosting server

Please simplify a bit for me I have in my mind three computers company one where the domain is registered, two my Hosting server and three freetoasthost.

Where will I add this? On my server or on the registrar DNS pointing?
Add 3 Class A DNS records:
empireboardofrealtisttoastmasterclub.com A 50.19.253.65
www.empireboardofrealtisttoastmasterclub.com A 50.19.253.65
mail.empireboardofrealtisttoastmasterclub.com A 50.19.253.65


Where would I add this? On my hosting server or the registrars. Or it should be on the free toast host server?

Add 1 MX record for email:
empireboardofrealtisttoastmasterclub.com MX-10 mail.empireboardofrealtisttoastmasterclub.com


I know the name is long but that is what the board wants they are marketing to a specific group, Realtors, and Realtist.

You do not touch the freetoasthost server at all.

You need to contact the registrar that you got the domain name from and ask them to help you make the changes to your DNS records that I have pointed out. Either that or if you can log into their website, then you can make the DNS changes yourself. The changes must be made w/ your registrar one way or another.

Basically, what you are doing is making some settings for your registar to know where to direct internet and email traffic when someone wants to use your new domain name. The DNS records are sort of the "directions" for that traffic to get to our server.
