Club 1169: Trying to migrate website to a new domain

9 years 4 months ago - 9 years 4 months ago

Hello,

I have been trying to migrate our website to a new domain for about a week now. I setup our GoDaddy domain registration as described and it appears that everything is configured properly. Here are is the DNS lookup:
OLD:
www.viewdns.info/dnsrecord/?domain=www.b...onaltoastmasters.org

NEW:
www.viewdns.info/dnsrecord/?domain=busin...onaltoastmasters.org

However, every time I change the "Custom Website Domain" it doesn't pull up our site, just the generic FreeToastHost. I get the following error:

You have errors in your form below. Please scroll down and correct the following:
Basic Settings Tab - This domain is not yet pointing to the IP address 50.19.253.65. In your domain registrar's DNS area, modify the exisitng "A" and "MX" records for this domain, to point to 50.19.253.65, wait the amount of time as specified by your domain host, then try again.

Any help would be appreciated.

Best,

-Mitch Olinsky

Mitch,

When I use: www.businessandprofesssionaltoastmasters.org , I am taken to the correct website.

Did you make any changes between submitting this question and now?

Missing an A record for mail:

A mail.businessandprofesssionaltoastmasters.org 50.19.253.65

This routes email using your domain to our server.

You need to add the A record or cname for WWW to get the connection. once it is setup you can use just the domain if you prefer
