Please Help With Domain Name Setup

[galatime]

Hi,

I recently registered the domain name (www.galatime.com) using Yahoo Domain Name registration.

 

I then opened a TCH account to host this domain name - I am able to login to my cPanel using the IP addr send in TCH's welcome email.

 

Per the email, I changed the NS settings in Yahoo to include NS1.TOTALCHOICEHOSTING.COM and NS2.TOTALCHOICEHOSTING.COM as my primary and secondary name servers.

 

Yahoo also shows A and CNAME records - do I need to change these?

 

Do I just wait for 72 hours before I can publish my content? I assume I can put in a "index.html" file in my public_html directory at cPanel to get started.

 

Thanks for your help.

Welcome to the Family GalaTime

 

and your new home!

 

You should not have to change anything else, just need to wait for propagating,

up to 72 hours.

Normailly the A and CNAME records point to your domain,

and should already be set.

 

You can ftp to your site anytime using the

IP address / user name / password

in your welcome e-mail under the ftp section.

 

 

We really are like family here.

So if you need anything,

just ask your new family!

We love to help

Welcome to the family, GalaTime!

 

And welcome home.

Thanks for the warm welcome.

 

For the A and CNAME Records, Yahoo's Domain Control Panel shows:

 

Type: Source: Destination: Actions:

A Record galatime.com Yahoo! IP Address Edit | --

A Record www.galatime.com Yahoo! IP Address Edit | --

CNAME Record *.galatime.com Yahoo! Hostname Edit | --

CNAME Record mail.galatime.com Yahoo! Hostname Edit | --

 

Do I need to edit the IP address and replace it with something related to TCH?

 

Thanks again,

Galatime

You should only have to replace the DNS servers.

Yep, just the Name Servers and Welcome Home.
