Domain forwarding 11 years 7 months ago #25144

Sue. Topic Author Visitor	Hi, would you be able to help me? We have a purchased domain name (dartmouthtoasters.ca) and I am trying to set it up to forward to our Freetoast site. I'm sure these all will make sense to you, but I'm new to this. Would you know what I should enter in the requested fields? Thanks! Sue Club 3119 This message has an attachment file. Please log in or register to see it.

You do NOT want to forward your domain.

You do want to use your Registrars DNS Service and Names servers to assign the Host A records and MX Records to point to our server.

Please see these FAQ To help setup your DNS records.

Also your domain name has NOT been purchased yet it still shows as available

Domain name: dartmouthtoasters.ca
Domain status: available

Hi, Thanks!
I meant to attach a file with the fields they were asking for but it didn't attach initially. I've reattached it above as a pdf.

We have purchased the domain and have been using it for a few years. It looks like I did manage to get it to go to our Freetoast site. But I was getting a few error messages when adding to the fields.

I did check the online samples, but the wording does not match up with our provider.

I don't know how you keep track of all these things, but I'm glad we have your support!

Cheers, Sue

It does not look like you have the domain set up correctly at the DNS

dartmouthtoasters.ca. 0 IN A 67.215.65.132
www.dartmouthtoasters.ca. 0 IN A 67.215.65.132

these should read

dartmouthtoasters.ca. 0 IN A 50.19.253.65
www.dartmouthtoasters.ca. 0 IN A 50.19.253.65

also add

mail.dartmouthtoasters.ca. 0 IN A 50.19.253.65

and mail exchange reacord

@ in MX 10 mail.dartmouthtoasters.ca
