The form above works
just like a switchboard. You can specify where
third-level domain names (also called, "hosts") for your
domain name "mydomain.com" are directed to.
In the "Host Name" column, enter your
third-level domain name, for example "www" would
indicate "www.mydomain.com" and "home" would
indicate "home.mydomain.com". You can even use
"ftp" to indicate "ftp.mydomain.com". Also, if
you would like to allow users to access your site
with simply "mydomain.com", then either leave
the field blank or type an "@". NOTE: If "@" is
used for Host Name, then Record Type can not be
"CNAME".
The following chart describes
acceptable values for each "Record Type": |
| Record Type |
Valid entries for
Address |
| A (Address) |
Must be the IP address of a
web server, for example "209.19.56.15". |
| MXE (Mail Easy) |
Must be the IP address of a
mail server, for example "209.19.56.20". |
| MX (Mail) |
Can be either a host name under
this domain name (for example, "mail3") or
the name of a mail server (for example,
"mail.yahoo.com."). NOTE: When using a mail server
name, it should end with a period ".". (If you
forget the period and we recognize the TLD, we
will automatically insert one.) |
| CNAME (Alias) |
Can be either a host name under
this domain name (for example, "www") or
another domain name (for example,
"www.yahoo.com."). NOTE: When using a domain name,
it should end with a period ".". (If you forget
the period and we recognize the TLD, we will
automatically insert one.) |
URL Redirect
URL Frame |
For URL Redirect and URL Frame,
this field should contain a full URL address, for
example
"http://dir.yahoo.com/arts/humanities/". |
NOTE: The MX
Pref column only applies to the MX Record Type.
For all other Record Types, this field is ignored.
NOTE: Use the "@" in the Address column
to mean mydomain.com.
NOTE: If you
run out of lines, submit the form and come back to
this page, more blank lines will automatically
appear.
