dns edit

is there anyway i can edit the dns coding on a forumotion bought url?

I'm trying to set up a redirect of a forumotion bought url to a 3rd party server to set up a redirect to another forumotion forum

I.E when i type in www.southwalesrenault.net (forumotion bought url) i want to get redirected to www.swfco.net

Any help would be great as this is all way over my head and i dont have a clue.

Sorry if what i've written is garbage it seams clear in my head

I think you might mean domain name not dns (google yahoo msn etc.,)
you would need to get forumotion to set that for you as a domain name
becomes fixed once bought. You could try a PM to typlo to see if it can be
done or transfered though forumotion.

i'm told it can be done, the url is in the proccess of being moved i've now just got to change the dns for the url

You've done it correctly, but you need to add it i nthe ACP, somewhere in domains.

Btw musket, its DNS not domain... When u know what DNS is then u can comment :S

My apologies I thought by the gist of his question that he was looking for a homepage redirect
not a DNS redirect if forumotion
is the server what other server does he want?

Also a scripted hack would be seen as a security violation against the host provider.

well at present i have 3 forumotion forums and i have decided to just have the 1 so all 3 domain names will all go to the same place as well as my additional domain
so 4 domains 1 forum

are the domains all forumotion?..if so then maybe if you explained
what you want to forumotion they could set up a redirect on 3 of
the domains to go to the one domain you want......PM TYPLO
