SpdWife Posted March 9, 2006 Posted March 9, 2006 I wasn't exactly sure where to put this so if this is the wrong forum I appologize. So here goes... I've been so satisfied with TCH service with my first website that I decided to venture into a second website. I registered a domain with yahoo (my first domain was registered with TCH) so I'm a little confused as to whether I'm setting things up correctly. There wasn't a tutorial listed for yahoo domains. Basically, when I log into yahoo domain control panel and select Advanced DNS records there are some areas I'm not sure if I should leave alone or change. So I'll just go by section: A and CNAME Records Type: Source: Destination: A Record rottweilerlove.com Yahoo IP Address A Record www.rottweilerlove.com Yahoo IP Address CNAME Record *.rottweilerlove.com Yahoo Hostname CNAME Record mail.rottweilerlove.com Yahoo Hostname Do I change anything here? MX Records Mail Server Host Name: Priority: Yahoo Mail Server 20 Yahoo Mail Server 30 Do I change anything here? Name Servers Primary dns3.totalchoicehosting.com Secondary dns4.totalchoicehosting.com I changed those to the ones in my welcome email. I'd really appreciate any help. Thank you! Quote
MikeJ Posted March 9, 2006 Posted March 9, 2006 Do I change anything here?Name Servers Primary dns3.totalchoicehosting.com Secondary dns4.totalchoicehosting.com I changed those to the ones in my welcome email. I'd really appreciate any help. Thank you! That is all you need to change (if they are not currently set as above). The A, CNAME, and MX records once that change takes affect will be served by the TCH DNS servers instead of Yahoo's, so the yahoo entries won't matter. Quote
TCH-Bruce Posted March 9, 2006 Posted March 9, 2006 Is there a simple option instead of the advanced option? There should be and then all you need to do is put the TCH nameservers in it. Quote
SpdWife Posted March 9, 2006 Author Posted March 9, 2006 Thank you Mike. I'm still unable to login to my ftp account, so I just assume this change takes time. Bruce, no there was no simple option, although that would have been nice. :-) Quote
