Setting A Primary Domain

A member purchased a domain for our boards, but I'm not entirely sure how to set it up. If I'm reading THIS doc correctly, then he will need to do the following:

1) Edit the CNAME record to point to http://s13.zetaboards.com/6StarWrestling/index/

2) Point the A record to server 13's IP (209.85.122.84).

Once that is done, I can go into the Admin CP and set the new domain as the primary, correct?

You're almost correct, however make sure your CNAME record is pointing to s13.zetaboards.com only (You don't want anything else there). :)

Ok, we've go the CNET and A Records set as above and have the new domain set as the primary address. But if you type the address out, it doesn't work. It takes a day or two for the domain to work completely, yes?

Usually less than that, but it can vary. What domain are you trying to use with your board?

It is working fine for me now, though. :)
