Requesting Domain Help
http://heroesnetwork.forumotion.net is my forum.
http://heroesnetwork.co is the domain name I bought from GoDaddy.
I also bought 3000 Credits on Forumotion in my Administration Panel, so that I can host my forum.
GoDaddy was semi-helpful, telling me to go to Edit Zone Record, and putting a new IP Address on there which is connected to my forum. That is the part that GoDaddy was able to tell me.
I don't know my forum's IP or what to put there in the "Points To" Option.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Requesting Domain Help
I saw that, but it wasn't really helpful to me.
I explained what I needed. I need to figure out how to get my forum's IP, so I can list it on GoDaddy, and thus have the URL redirected to the forum.
I did buy 3,000 credits on forumotion, so I need to figure out how to connect the two.

Re: Requesting Domain Help
Wait a minute! Why did you buy 3,000 credits if you purchased the domain name somewhere else?

Re: Requesting Domain Help
I thought that would be the money it would require to host it here.
For example, I have a website www.Tothian.com that I bought the domain at GoDaddy.com - but I hosted it at site123.com
So I figured forumotion would require money for me to host it. Or no?

GoDaddy customer support told me all I needed was to know the IP Address of my forum and that that was all I needed. I couldn't figure out how to find that though.
Re: Requesting Domain Help
we do not have the settings for the IP address you have to follow this
https://help.forumotion.com/t7021-cname-redirect-an-extern-domain-name-that-you-own-to-your-board
as for credits you have got on FM well they will not help as you have already a domain name by godaddy
if you follow whats in this link gave right then you will not have a problem.

Re: Requesting Domain Help
Any recorder of domains names possesses different interfaces, and thus different methods to create such CNAME. However, in a general way, the process takes place as described below:
- Connect to your user account on the site of your domain name provider, and go to the DNS management.
- Check that the chosen sub-domain is not already used.
- In the generally entitled field "source", "origin", or "alias" enter the prefix of sub-domain (i.e. "Forum" if you want to use the sub-domain forum.my_domain).
- In the generally entitled field "destination" or " target host ", enter the original url of your forum, address.my_forum.
- You will maybe have to inform the TTL (Time To Live): define the maximal possible value here.

Re: Requesting Domain Help
Hello,
You do not need the IP address of the forum to configure an external domain on your forum! A simple nslookup will give you this IP anyway but it would serve you absolutely for nothing...!
The only way to properly configure an external domain on your forum is via a CNAME as explained in the tutorial provided.
We can not list all the domain registers that exist, but the process remains exactly the same.
Any good domain registry provides this functionality...
On your GoDaddy domain manager, clic your domain > Domain Details > DNS Zone File > Add Record > CNAME.
We are not here to provide GoDaddy support. So if you need or have more question about this, please contact GoDaddy Delta Team
Thank's
