This guide will explain how to easily use your 110mb hosting with a GoDaddy domain the right way (yes there are wrong ways which half work).
All of the information in this guide was passed on to me by 110mb members - so many thanks to those people.
Also, while this guide is officially written for use with a GoDaddy domain, the steps will be identical for and other domain registrar you have used.
Only difference will be the pictures
Cheers, and enjoy...
What this guide contains:• Getting your domain working on the 110mb servers
• Few pointers on purchasing upgrades from 110mb
Why do I need to do it this way:If you don't do it this way, you won't be able to get email addresses such as
xxx@yourdomain.com working.
For example - Google Apps allows you to have 100 registered emails on your domain, for free.
NoteI am starting this guide assuming you have already purchased your domain. If you haven't don't worry as it's very simple to do and I don't think having me explain it is of much use.
I will make a few points though:
• You don't need to purchase any of the extra add-ons. Just the cheapest domain name registration is fine (they try and flog you lots of ****)
• Don't worry about email addresses. You can get 100+ for free from google (how-to guide on it's way.
The GuideStep #1:We need to find the IP Address of your 110MB.com server.
Go to:
http://www.110mb.com/check_your_site.php
It should tell you the IP Address of your 110MB Server. You need to write this number down as we will need it later.
Step #2:Click on "My Account"
Click "Manage Domains"
Click on your domains name.
Click "Total DNS Control and MX Records"
Overview of the upcoming changes.
You now need to delete everything under "A (Host)" except for the record with the host "@".
To delete a record, click the little "X" under "Actions" alongside the record to be deleted.
When finished you should be left with something similar to this:
Now click the edit button (the little pencil) alongside the record "@" (the only one remaining).
If you there are no hosts listed as you accidenally deleted them all, click "Add a New Record" and proceed as normal.
Leave the host set as "@"
Enter the IP Address for your 110MB which I told you to write down in Step #1.
Set TTL to 1 Hour
Once you have clicked OK, should should be left with something similar to this:
Under "CNAMES (Aliases)" check for the record "www" and make sure it is pointing to "@".
If it doesn't exist you may need to create by clicking "Add New CNAME Record" and using the settings: www, @, 1 Hour
Step #3:Go to
www.110mb.com and login. Click the little arrow in "Account Profile".
Add the domain which you registed on GoDaddy with eg. example.com
You will now need to just sit tight and let it work it's magic. I have been told that this process can take up to 48 hours, but usually it is under 24.
