Hi All
Im new to this site and have created a much better website than i had before so i want to sign up :clap
Only problem is i cant seem to link my personal domain name over. I have done the following:
Already have a domain? Great! You already know what you're doing. Be sure to check your domain hosts setup instructions to prevent problems.
1. Point your CNAME 'www' to domains.smugmug.com .
2. Point your A Record '@' to 208.79.45.23 .
3. Visit your SmugMug Account Settings > Me > Account tab for the "Custom Domain" line. Paste your new domain name into the box and click "Save Changes." That's it!
but when i go to my smugmug site and go to settings where you can add costom domain - it comes back with this:
"That hostname doesn't appear to be valid. Your hostname needs to be setup using a CNAME record at your domain registrar."
Can anyone tell me what i might be doing wrong please? :dunno
Thanks
