I purchased and I been using www.FriendlyFireGaming.net for a while now. I just made new forums with invisionfree http://z10.invisionfree.com/FriendlyFireGaming/index.php?act=idx and I want to use the Friendlyfiregaming.net domain instead of the long invisionfree one. The problem is I dont know what to put for nameserver one and nameserver 2. ![]() I get the error when I try to write in www.FriendlyFireGaming.net for add domain in the invisionfree Change Domain Option. ![]() I need help asap. Thanks Edited by Jory, Oct 16 2008, 07:05 AM.

Does your registrar allow the use of CNAME records? InvisionFree doesn't use namesevers. |

Ah thanks a lot. It does not seem that I can use CNAME with my domain site. Will Zeta boards allow me to use Nameservers? EDIT: found this, not sure if it helps

Yes, you may add your CNAME record there. Enter an Alias Name: FriendlyFireGaming.net Enter Points to Host Name: z10.invisionfree.com Select TTL Value: 1 Hour |

Remove www. before "friendlyfiregaming.net" and set up the following CNAME record as well. Enter an Alias Name: www Enter Points to Host Name: z10.invisionfree.com Select TTL Value: 1 Hour After doing that, wait up to 24 hours for the DNS to be updated and then add friendlyfiregaming.net to your Domain Manager, setting it as your Primary Domain. |
