Setting up: Using your own domain name
Your domain registration change on GoDaddy
If you own a domain name and have access to control its DNS settings, then your ZIPBOX Media Store can reside on your domain. These instructions are intended for use with a GoDaddy domain registration but the principles are applicable to any domain registrar.
You will be changing your domain's A Record, or Host IP address to the ZIPBOX Media master IP address.
ZIPBOX Media address can be found on My Account: My Store
Here's how:
- Log into your GoDaddy Account.
- Look for the list of domains you own and can manage.
- On the line with your domain click Advanced Details.
- On the next screen you are going to look for the column heading Total DNS.
- Click Total DNS Control at the bottom of that area.
- Under the A (Host) section look for the @ (at symbol). On that same line click the edit button. It looks like a little document with a pencil in front of it.
- In the box labeled "Points To IP address:" enter the IP address you find on My Account: My Store
- Check to make sure there is an Alias or CNAME for "www" that points to "@". This will make sure if someone enters "www.yourdomain.com" that they get your site.
- Click Save.
