Domain Help

So I have my GoDaddy.com domain working and all.
I can type in my website domain www.VerticalRadius.com and be redirected to the appropriate URL: s1.ZetaBoards.com/VerticalRadius

My question is, how can I make it continue to say www.VerticalRadius.com instead of switching to the ZetaBoards URL?
I want it to remain consistent as far as the address bar because when it changes into the sloppy URL it's a little unprofessional.
I'm almost positive it's something I have to do in the ZetaBoard Admin CP.

However whenever I fill in the 'Add a Domain Name' option in 'Domain Manager' in Admin CP, I get this:
Domain Error
 
Error: The domain you have entered (www.verticalradius.com) does not appear to point to this server. The domain should point to s1.zetaboards.com with a CNAME record.
Error Code: 50016:5608084
I'm not going to pretend like I know what a CNAME record is...
Hopefully someone understands what I'm getting at, I'm sure it's something simple and I'm just an idiot.

I'm having the same problem, as far as the domain I want to add apparently not pointing to z15.invisionfree.com (in my case), though I do have the www CNAME record pointing to that address for a couple of days now. I'm not sure why it won't work either, to be honest...

As for the URL changing, are you having the new domain you want to use forward to your site? That might be your (first) problem.


Edit:
I figured I should mention which site is mine, and the domain I'm trying to use:

Site: http://z15.invisionfree.com/Estonei_Weyr
New Domain: http://estoneiweyr.com <~ Don't click it... It doesn't go anywhere in particular right now.

Yes, I'm using the domain to forward you to the actual website on server 1.
So I guess what I'm trying to do is make the domain address the actual address of the ZetaBoard forum.
So that instead of the domain being a mask to the real URL, it is the real URL.

This would make it so that when you type in the domain name, it'll stay in the address bar as the domain name, and won't change to the ZetaBoard URL.

Hi.

If you still need help, our GoDaddy documentation might be of assistance to you: http://docs.zetaboards.com/domains/godaddy :)
