having some problems with this as I'm not sure I understand fully how to do this.
So I read the thread Managing your CNAME Record
I fall under my domain is registered through GoDaddy, but the Forum that I have is hosted by a different company.
Not knowing at first about changing my DNS / CNAME a different way, I went to my GoDaddy account to change it there.
The way my DNS records are set now is that the hosting company I use, uses Three A records, one CNAME. It also has two NS records
So when I signed up for VB Cloud, it asked to change the CNAME.
I currently have two CNAME records, the one with www, I added the sub-domain that VB gave me to use
The question I had was do I change or delete the three A records ? I believe so, because nothing changed when they were still there.
So I deleted them.
Went to my Cloud dashboard and it seem to work ok, I just wasn't expecting that when i login I would see just a plan forum, then I remembered that I need to get my site done for migration.
But before I do all of that, I checked the information about CNAME changes again and it says that I need to do this with my current Hosting company through the CPanel
So my question are, do I change the CNAME at GoDaddy ? or my hosting Company ? or Both ?
Do I get rid of all the A records ? and the NS ?
When I change the CNAME record, what do I add ? I already have one as www, what about the ftp one ? leave it with an @ ?
for Godaddy or the current hosting company ?
I had to put everything back the way it was, because I didn't think I was ready for the migration. So I want to make sure I have the right set up for the CNAME, then go from there,
Thanks
