Migrating to FTH4

Your club admin received the instructions to update their admin password to access FTH4. (FTH3 admin passwords will NOT work in FTH4). Follow the instructions in the email and use 'Member sign in' in the top right corner to access the Club Admin account.

If you are not sure who the club admin is, in your member account; look at 'Club Officers and Members' > "Club Email addresses". The LAST item in this list is the person who is currently listed as your club admin.

If this is not correct, please complete and submit this form to change your club admin:

#3306 Need Assistance Configuring DNS settings for new Custom Domain Name

5 years 11 months ago

Thank you for your always prompt responses to my questions!

We are in the process of obtaining a new CDN from GoDaddy. The new CDN will be www.YawnPatrolLansing.com and needs to link to 3306.toastmastersclubs.org.

Do you need me to wait until we have confirmation from GoDaddy that that domain name is clear and available and then assigned to our club?

We do not do the assignment. You do that by setting up the DNS records via your registrar's website and also by entering the domain name into the Admin Console. You must do both and you cannot take shortcuts.

This is why you really need to read the doc that Brian has *twice* referred you to.

Thank you! I have read the doc Brian sent and it is way over my head. There is a message box at the top of that page of directions indicating that we could get help with this, if I am not "tech savvy enough". Your words.

Please contact Godaddy Support as they will assist you in configuring your domain. Give them these instructions

What are the basic DNS Settings required for a Custom Domain?

In the simplest terms, using your registrar's Domain Name Servers, you need 4 DNS records:

3 Class A records

YawnPatrolLansing.com A 50.19.253.65 (This directs internet traffic using your custom domain name to the FreeToastHost server.)
www.YawnPatrolLansing.com A 50.19.253.65 (This lets you use www. with your custom domain name.)
mail.YawnPatrolLansing.com A 50.19.253.65 (This is used with the MX record below to enable email to get to the FreeToastHost server for processing.)

1 MX record for mail

YawnPatrolLansing.com MX-10 mail.domain.ext (This tells the registrar how to direct email to an email address containing the custom domain name.)
