2 domain names possible?

GKR1

Hello,

I wanted to know if I can 2 domain names pointing to my smugmug account at the same time.

I was using http://www.picturedlifeproductions.com/ however I've gotten a new domain name http://www.amirbarzi.com/ which I've pointing to my smugmug now.

I want to know if http://www.picturedlifeproductions.com/ be point to my account as well. Currently when I access it I get the "These aren't the photos you're looking for" page.

Looking forward to your response.

You can only CNAME a single domain name to your smug site.

If you want to use two domains, you can forward the second domain to the first domain as long as the first domain is properly CNAMEd to you smug site.

For example, I have www.denisegoldberg.com set up for my smug site. I have a second domain, www.denisegoldbergphotography.com forwarded to www.denisegoldberg.com. Keep in mind that if you forward a domain like this, the URL that is shown and used is the primary domain name.

Thanks Densie, for stepping in and offering a quick and accurate response.

You will need to properly set up your DNS records on your Primary Domain Name that you want to point to your SmugMug Account. You can learn how to do this here: http://help.smugmug.com/customer/portal/articles/93340

You will then need to set up the Secondary Domain Name to be forwarded to your Primary Domain Name. Your SmugMug Site will use the Primary (Or Pointed) Domain Name for your URL Structure on your SmugMug Site.

The Secondary Domain Name will simply get you to your site if it is used, forwarding you to the location where your SmugMug Site actually resides.

Thank you for your responses.

I did mange to forward the domain name in GoDaddy account setting and the setting indicates that it has been forwarded. http://www.picturedlifeproductions.com/ to http://www.amirbarzi.com/ however, I'm still getting the error
"These aren't the photos you're looking for".

Do I nee to change the A host and CNAME on http://www.picturedlifeproductions.com/ ?

When I look at the setting the A host is not the smugmug address. It is 64.202.189.170 now and CNAME is still domains.smugmug.com. ?!

Thanks

Thanks.

You can't CNAME two different URLs to your smug site.

You need to remove the CNAME and A record from http://www.picturedlifeproductions.com if you are forwarding that URL to http://www.amirbarzi.com and http://www.amirbarzi.com is CNAMEd to domains.smugmug.com.

When I went to update the zone file to remove CNAME and A host, the systemt returned that I need to fix the errors.

Any help would be great.

I'm kinda confused.

Here's what I would do first. Set up one cname with domains.smugmug.com and make sure it is working. Then go into your godaddy account center and take the other domain and forward it to the first. Be sure to forward it without masking.

Mail help @ smugmug.com and explain what you want done. We'll need your Godaddy login details (account and password) - you can set a temporary password while we make the changes. We deal with these all the time.
