I am seriously confused mainly because of the way it was explained in my training at work. Can someone please give me an explantion of the difference between creating a cname record and using a domain pointer? My understanding is that they both effectively do the same thing which is allow one ip address to be used for different domains.
Extra marks given for an easy to understand analogy as i'm definately a visual learner.
I have a domain hosted in a external pool of servers.I must set a dns record for www.domain.tld and domain.tld (without www). It must be done using cname.The www.domain.tld , works fine.
Ex:www.domain.tld IN CNAME xyz.otherdomain.tld.
But I am not able to set a DNS record for a root of domain.
Ex: domain.tld IN CNAME xyz.otherdomain.tld.
neither domain.tld IN CNAME www.domain.tld.
The PPA didn't allow me.It say that the host field is mandatory.
I have a reseller account with canaca and i want to add some A records and Cname to some of domains!
i heard that i can do the from DNS ZONE option!
i have just created a dns ZONE for my domain, but i dont know what to use for ftp service.
i looked up in cpanel dns zone records for the domain i created and it looks like this... i am confused what to use CNAME or A record for an FTP entry
ftp 14400 IN A <IP> (for sites on shared IP)
ftp 14400 CNAME domain.com. (for sites with dedicated ip)
what is the difference? what if i change to
ftp 14400 IN CNAME domain.com. (for sites on shared IP)
ftp 14400 A <IP> (for sites with dedicated ip)
Also, how many A records i can place in zone file?
I've been trying to get some domains parked using DirectAdmin's domain pointers. I've searched for threads about this on Google, and followed the instructions. I go to Domain Pointers -> Add New Domain Pointer. I put the domain into the form field (leaving 'Create as Alias' checked) and click Add. I've waited for a few days to make sure there were no caching problems, and the domains still didn't resolve. The nameservers on my domain registrar are set correctly. I've parked domains before on CPanel and it worked just fine.
View 3 Replies View RelatedWhen I create a CNAME record for domain, and then trying to load it, it goes to default website. It was working fine before, all old CNAME records are working fine.
Tried reconfigure-all but it doesn't fix the problem. I'm using 11.5.30 Update #44
OK, I am confused. I have one domain that is parked on top of another domain. I would like Mail that comes to the parked domain to be automatically forwarded to the same user name at the primary domain.
Can I change a DNS or MX record to facilitate this?
Differences between Websites & Domains and Webspaces
I'm a beginner in Plesk Panel and I've a "concept" question. So, which are the differences between Websites & Domains and Webspaces? There's some documentation about the definition of this three objects?
I have a site mydomain-name.com that is running and the mail server for it was mail.mydomain-name.org
However the mydomain-name.org has expired and I don't want to renew it. I just want to use the .com domain and have the mail use mail.mydomain-name.com
So i created the MX records for the .com domain .. Now my question is do i have to also contact my registar for the domain and ask them to update their records so that now it points to the new MX?
I am really new at this stuff so please bare with me.. when i do an nslookup in DOS it still shows the .org as my mail server.
mydomain-name.com MX preference = 10, mail exchanger = mail.mydomain-name.org
Is this something that needs to be changed at the registrar level?
I have a domain - xxx.com
I want to modify the dns zone so that xxx.com is redirected to subdomain.yyy.com.
I have modified the DNS Zone and pointed
xxx.com. 14400 A subdomain.yyy.com.
www 14400 CNAME subdomain.yyy.com.
But it is not working. I am on Linux Server with WHM/cPanel.
I added a domain name through Plesk. after that I deleted it because I wasn't happy with the configuration and thought I'd just start from scratch.
now, I'm unable to add it. the domain is not listed with the other domains on the server, however when I try to add it I get "Such DNS record already exists".
somehow plesk is not listing a domain record I added recently, that I have to remove. so, I can't select it and delete it through the interface.
is there a way to remove a dns record manually, perhaps from the command line?
Plesk: 12.0.18
OS: CentOS 6.5 (Final)
Impossible to delete my PTR record (DNS) on a domain name. Message error: Impossible de restaurer la zone DNS : une erreur s'est produite en ajoutant l'enregistrement (IPv6 du serveur) IN none mondomaine.fr. : Des valeurs incorrectes ont été indiquées pour l'enregistrement DNS.
My client has a domain registered at GoDaddy and a Yahoo Small Business email package.
The only info I can find on Yahoo suggests I need to redelegate the domain's name servers to Yahoo, and I'd rather not do this if I can help it.
Is it possible to simply leave the name servers at GoDaddy and point the MX record to Yahoo's servers?
I don't see anything on Yahoo saying it won't work, but then I see nothing to suggest it will either!
My server has been kernel panicking on and off irreguarly every 2 days or so since I upgraded to cPanel 11, I'm not entirely sure whether this was the cause however I've isolated the fact it is a kernel issue. I am running CentOS 4.5 and was running Kernel "2.6.9-42.0.8.ELsmp" however switched to the kernel I was running before (2.6.9-42.0.3.ELsmp) and the same issue is still cropping up.
I thought that it may be a memory addressing issue or the like, however from looking up the issue, several C programming forums seem to suggest dodgy applications, the memory usage on the server does always seem fairly low and loads are generally healthy so this would seem to be supported.
The logs before the server kernel panics are as so:

Just a quick question, can i setup a cname to redirect user to a URL instead of domain.... like
mail.thedomain.com.incnamemail.google.com/a/thedomain.com
I have to do this on Windows server with IIS so i can't use mod_rewrite etc!
I'm new for cpanel
and I want to add CNAME for domains.live.com and the requiered information
DNS Record Type: CNAME
Host: 250953144
Value: domains.live.com
I enter edit dns zone
like the picture attached
I don't know if i should delete the www and mail or leave it like this please told me how to do to make it valid with domains.live.com
I am simply wanting to map on mydomain.com to anotherdomain.com. So i setup a CNAME on mydomain.com. Once propagated mydomain is not being picked up and is defaulting to the cpanel successfully installed screen.
I have tried this on another of our servers and this does work.
So my question is: can you use a CNAME to map mydomain.com to anotherdomain.com without having to add the mydomain.com to the apache VirtualHost ServerAlias?
It does seem like you can as i have this working on one server - is there an apache setting somewhere to block this?
Thanks in advance!
I'd like to know how I can use DNS to do something like make a CNAME record that points the same address to different addresses based on the port used.
mail.example.org on port 80 points to ghs.google.com
mail.example.org on port 995 points to pop.gmail.com
mail.example.org on port 587 poitns to smtp.gmail.com
I apoligize in advance if this is the wrong place to post this thread.
I am trying to create a CNAME entry in my DNS tables and have no clue where to begin.
I have did a search but didnt find anything that gives reference on how to do it just how to fix errors.
Can anyone point me in the right direction to learning how to accomplish this task.
Let's say I buy my domains from godaddy and have the DNS records pointed to the shared host.
From there, the shared host creates your CNAME records, or whatever you want to add to your domain name.
What happens if I wanted to control the CNAME records? Can I do this from godaddy? If so, how? Are there negatives to this method?
i am trying to use a custom url (example: mail.mydomain.com) for my google apps e-mail.
i can't seem to figure out how to set up the CNAME in WHM to allow this to occur and google apps' help function is not well ...
We have Livezilla tracking on our site, and saw some suspicious activity this afternoon from the Netherlands, about 5 connections from the same IP address, they now appear to have put in a cname record/copied our site for http://wiiee.nl/design.html to our site. Does anyone know what they're doing/trying to do?
View 6 Replies View RelatedThe Non-Profit I work for uses IXWebhosting for our webhost and to manage email accounts. For the past 2 months whenever we send emails to anyone @baaqmd.gov, we receive CNAME bounceback errors.
I have contacted IXWebhosting and they say that their DNS server's aren't registering baaqmd.gov and that I need to contact baaqmd.gov. Well I've been in constant contact with baaqmd.gov's IT guy and they are receiving emails just fine from outside agencies. In fact, when I send a test email using GMAIL to baaqmd.gov, they receive it just fine.
To further confuse me, we receive emails fine from BAAQMD.gov.
I am trying to change the cname through a batch.. It is successfully done for English language but I want to use Arabic language. When I am using Arabic it appear like this "????".

What is the difference from having [url]and [url]?
does it make a difference to the web user, is it a server thing.
