[Unsolved] pointing my domain, A record, C name, Help

[joeken77776]

Hi, feel like a bit of a noob having to ask this but I cant figure out how to get my domain pointed to my space here with an A-record and c-name.

my web site is czar777.x10.mx/

1) What is the A record IP and how do I find that?

2) if I enter the ip (a-record) at my domain controler for xyz.com how does it find my web space at x10? do I need to add some entry in my x10 control panel for it to resolve to czar777.x10.mx?

many thanks in advance.

I also did:

update the NS = ns1.x10hosting.com \ ns2.x10hosting.com (at my domains dns management) + parked the domain (in the cpanel at x10)

and this kinda worked but it knocked out my email for me@xyz.com and when I clicked any links the web address at the top went from xyz.com to czar777.x10.mx.

so I'm wondering wtf?

I'm not personally sure on the rest, but this is due to Wordpress itself actually - start here: http://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_The_Site_URL

Wordpress has the old site URL set for itself so when it shows links, it shows the old x10.mx ones. Follow those directions and it'll have you back onto the parked domain in no time; as for the emails, not 100% sure yet, so I'm editing the title to Unsolved.

usually you can cloak the address using something like frameforwarding but because im using the x10 dns i dont have any contol over cloaking?

it appears that you cant frame forward to x10hosting for some reason? I've tried a number of different methods and they bring up error pages not my page for e.g. frame forward xyz.com to myspace.x10.mx doesnt work.

that partially worked, the home tab now shows the .com I added to the wp-config.php file, but the other tabs dont, so I can assume its a wordpress issue?

p.s. ive removed the wordpress website for now to try to figure out what the heck is going on.

for anyone interested to get it to work:

1) in the cpanel at x10 - you addon domain (you domain webpages will now be in the new folder i.e. /xyz.com/ )
2) log into your domain web site and point the 2 dns servers at x10's servers

note: this is not the best solution as its not using an A Record or C Name and i think it knocks out your email service for the domain if for example you had email allready setup in your domain controler (where you registered the domain)

There has to be a way to set it up with A Record's but when I did it it wouldnt load my web site and would give me and defult x10 error page.
