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

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.

Everything is working great now, you have no idea how much I appreciate your help.

Thanks again,
