Title: help me get my website up
Post by: Mupepe on February 18, 2007, 12:26:44 AM
Okay, so I bought a domain from yahoo, and I bought hosting from surpasshosting.com.

Now, how do I direct my domain to my server?  What information do I need to change and how do I do it?  Where would I find said information?

GOD I'M SUCH A FUCKING N00B

nameservers dude :)

surpasshosting should have gave you this info which you enter at yahoo somewhere.

Example:

Quote
Assigning Domain Name Server Information
If your domain is registered with another company, you will have to go to your domain registration account and assign the domain name servers (DNS) for your new hosting account. DNS information is used to identify your Web site on the Internet.

    * Primary DNS Host: ns3.secureserver.net
    * Primary DNS IP: 64.202.165.10
    * Secondary DNS Host: ns4.secureserver.net
    * Secondary DNS IP: 64.202.167.92

Where do I find that information?  They didn't give me it in the email.  I'm in the Cpanel and can't find it anywhere  i'm so fuxxored

And then Yahoo has these options under DNS information...

Type: Source: Destination: Actions:
A Record mupepe.com Yahoo! IP Address Edit | --
A Record www.mupepe.com Yahoo! IP Address Edit | --
CNAME Record *.mupepe.com Yahoo! Hostname Edit | --
CNAME Record mail.mupepe.com Yahoo! Hostname Edit | --


And should I change MX records?  If so, where can I find that info?
