Domain Names

Before you start the development of your author website, you need to decide on a domain name. It is helpful to decide before you start development because it could impact the design of your website. When deciding on a domain name there some things to consider: what to choose, availability, and buying.

To use your own domain name, you will need to go to your domain name account at your registrar (for example, GoDaddy, Network Solutions, etc.) and make a change. You will need to change the “A” record in the DNS to our IP address, 100.28.80.129. Look for the DNS option for the domain name you want to use. There may be a string of four nembers in the 'A' record, or it might say “default” or “parked” (It might for newly registered domain names).
