By default you are provided with a Shivtr subdomain for use with your site, but if you own a full domain name you are welcome to use that as well. This section will cover how to setup a full domain name for use with our site.
General Setup
-
Login to the Control Panel they provided you for managing your domain name
-
Look for a section called DNS Settings that will allow you to control the domain name
-
Look for a value called either A Record or A Host and change that to be 74.86.234.195; if there are several A Records you can modify, change both the @ and www ones to be 74.86.234.195
-
Save the changes and you're done!
General Tips
-
Do not change the name servers
-
Do not setup domain forwarding
-
Changes to your Domain Name take time to go into effect, usually a few hours.
