DNS settings on domain name

by jason the timid Tue Jul 30 2013, 06:42

I'm looking at hosting a game server ( minecraft ) on the domain name of auv2.net

I've been told that I need to find someone who can edit the DNS settings of the domain.

Seeing as I've registered the name through forumotion ( who go through godaddy ) who would I need to talk to, in order to get this done.

Any help would be appreciated.

What exactly do you mean by host?

I'm paying a third party to host a game server

I want it to connect via the domain name AuV2.net, registered to me through forumotion.

I'm fairly new at this, but still want it to happen.

sorry about the bump, wasn;t sure of the time.

and no, I'm trying to link something from this domain away to another hosting thing.

I'm setting up a minecraft server, and it can run off the IP auv2.net if the dns settings are changed, when connecting via port 25566 ( I think it's that port )

I decided to email the people at GoDaddy about if they can change it, when I don't have propper ownership, here is the reply.
