How To Set Up Yahoo Domain as Custom Host Name

Andy

Here are the screens to look for when setting up your CNAME Alias on Yahoo! for your SmugMug Custom Host Name.

Log in, and select "domain control panel"



Be certain that you DO NOT have any web forwarding set up. If you do, delete them. Click on "Manage DNS Settings"



Put www.smugmug.com in the destination box. Hit "submit" and you're done here at Yahoo. Sign out.



As per the rest of the instructions in SmugMug Help be sure that in your Control Panel>Account Settings>domain> you have put the www.yourdomainname.com

It can take 24-48 hours for changes to propogate throughout the internet.

Alright, so www.dayspringphoto.net works just fine, but when I type only dayspringphoto.net I get an under construction from Yahoo domain. HELP!! I've been working on this all morning, and I know I'm just missing something. Thanks

you'll need to set an A-record for dayspringphoto.net. We only support C-Name records. But the A-record will also work, but be aware we could change our IP address.
