Uh, Help?

What I am trying to do is setup a domain name for the invisionfree forums so that it will be its 'Primary Domain Name' and right now you can see its domain by click on my logo/sig below.

Can any one help?

You have to wait 24-48 hours for the CNAME to register with a DNS service.

I really have no idea what CNAME is and all that stuff, no idea what to do. Can you clue me in on everything right now? i am a little light headed today. I need to know what everthiung I need to do is.

Info:
Domain I am trying to register:
http://forums.swivelgames.com

Little help?

I am thinking all I have to do in the HTML code is just type in the url for invisionfree like it says? or do I need to do some kinda redirect?

-swivel

Dude, read my post above.

........

?

I HAVE NO CLUE WHAT A 'CNAME' IS!

AND I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT TO PUT IN THE HTML FILE SO I CANT DO ANYTHING!!! THE ONLY THING I ACTUALLY TRIED TO DO SO FAR IS.....

Go into "Domain manager" on my forums and clicked make primary after I typed in the url.

I have not done anything and I have NO idea what you or invision systems is talking about. Thats what I am trying to find out What the hell your talking about.

Let me make it easier.
You have to wait 24-48 hours
for it to go into effect so you can use your domain.

I know that already. but the things I need to know are:

1)
2)

-swive

1. CNAME is just a term for a type of DNS record. There's also MX (email), A (ip-based), and more. It indicates that your host probably has a dynamic IP.

2. No redirect needed

So, how do I get the domain(forums.swivelgames.com) to be directed(point) to s14.invisionfree.com?

-Swivel

You have to set up the CNAME record.
Looks like we're back where we started.

Yah lol. so.....how do I do that? lol

-Swivel

The host should have done it automatically, and you just have to be patient and wait. By now it should have gone through.

Well, it has'nt worked yet. Is this a vaild code?


Code:

EEK!! FRAMES! NONONONO!!!

however, it is SOMEWHAT valid, and should work....although i think your src="" is bad, because it goes to the registration page instead of your forums [/code]

No. thats what invision systems told me to point it at. Ok, listen, please ignore all the other posts. All I need to know how to point a domain. I quote:



Thats what I need help on. All I need to know is how to point it. The only thing any one is telling me is "YOU HAVE TO WAIT 24-48 HOURS FOR IT TO REGISTER" I dont care. I have heard that way too many times! Please help me on how to:

POINT MY DOMAIN forums.swivelgames.com to s14.invisionfree.com.

Thank you, please help.

Agh! frames! *runs and hides* Yeah, check their support docs.

frames = bad. does your host support php?
