Getting my website back online

2 years 5 months ago

Hi, My website has been down for about a year as our domain was stolen. Now I have the domain back and I want to set up my site again.  However, I can't find how to access the site as an admin and I need to point the new custom domain to the correct DNS.  Please help me get my site back online.

I did finally workout how to get into the site. But am not sure i am following the instructions to point the domain to FTH.

The registrar, GoDaddy, wants the DNS and all I am finding is the IP address on my website.  How do i handle this?
Thanks Lallah Rowe 

Oops, Now the whole website disappeared.  Please get me the DNS I need to use.

This is not working.  I followed the instructions and my website disappeared completely. I cannot access it at all.  

I went back to my registrar to see if the DNS was  now correct and it is the same default name servers as before. When I entered the IP address from the article 50.19.253.65 the registrar site says that an error has occurred. It will not accept them.  

Please, what am I doing wrong?  How do I access my website?

Your site is always available here:  4952141.toastmastersclubs.org

An error message suggests the IP address is not being entered into the correct DNS field.

Engaging the support service at the registrar is the next step. You can send the FTH document that Brian shared the registrar support and ask for help configuring the DNS of your custom domain.
