Domain Question

[jsobeck]

I have Google Apps for Domains, and I want to enable custom addresses. However, it says I need to create CNAME records with my domain host. The registrar I used is NameCheap, and after I transferred the DNS to x10, I no longer have the ability to create CNAME records at the NameCheap site. Is there any way for me (or an admin) to add a CNAME record for my domain? (I didn't see anything like that in cPanel.)

Only the people who have access to the domain control panel, hint you, can do it. Just because you forward the DNS to x10's, doesn't mean that x10 has control over the domain. Control of it is still with the people you bought it from

That's what I thought, but I can't control the CNAME records anymore apparently because of the DNS transfer.

Maybe contact your domain registrar's customer service and ask them to help you??

That's what I was thinking, I just wanted to make sure no one here at x10 could do the editing for me.

Do the following:

Take the x10 nameservers out. Find out which server you are on (and get the IP).

Create A records for www, @ (yourdomain.com), and * and set em to x10 ip.

Then create an mx record for x10 on the main domain and address as above.

Then you can create cname records.

Thanks Micro, problem solved.

Glad you got it worked out properly.

Since problem was fixed, I'll lock this. :lockd:
