Domain name transfer issues

I am having trouble with a domain name I purchased forward to my .mac. This is the second domain name I have purchased. The first one I had issues with too, but it works fine now when the name is typed in a browser window. I copied the exact info, but I am getting an error from .mac saying name doesn't exist. I published the site in iWeb just like I did my first site....every step was the same. I can not figure out why I am getting an error -- can anyone help?

I fixed it. iWeb address changed from first site to second site, so copying address to forwarding URL was not enough. I had to make the necessary changes. Thank you for responding

Instructing clients on domain name transfer

I was wondering what the easiest way is to instruct a client how to transfer their domain name from a previous host to a new one. Do you simply give them the information fom the "Whois" lookup? Do you contact the previous host yourself? What do you do?

So that would be asked with this question:
How do I get access to the domain registration account so that I can change the DNS pointers?
And the answer is either of the following -
* Get the domain registration account login information from the client (they were given this when they registered the domain name), log in to the account, and edit the DNS pointers.
OR
* Have the client contact the domain registrar and ask them for the domain registration login info. They may have to do a song and dance to get this, but they will get it. Have them give that info to you. Then continue with the first item above.

Office Live Website Domain Name Transfer?

I currently have a Office Live website with a .co.uk domain name - is there a way to create and host the same domain name with Apple once my Office Live account expires?
And yes I'm a technophobe!

To use your domainname with MobileMe you must [enable Personal Domain at MobileMe|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=MobileMe/Account/en/acct1 7114.html] and set your CNAME to web.me.com where you have registered your domainname.
Pick your own subdomain (www is a subdomain).
It's not an iWeb issue, since iWeb is not involved. [Forum : MobileMe iWeb and Personal Domain|http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1163]
Read my article how I manage my domainname : http://www.wyodor.net/Domain/
I currently have these subdomains:
http://www.wyodor.net/ (at MobileMe using A Record)
http://me.wyodor.net/ (at MobileMe using CNAME)
http://google.wyodor.net/ (at Google using A Record)
http://wyodor.net/ (at MS Office Live using A Record)
Other subdomains default to my Personal Webserver on my computer at home.
Note that you cannot use iWeb, or any custom webpage, at Google or MS Office Live. They're all webbased.

Custom domain name pointing issues

Hi
I've set my custom domain name for my webpages and it is working fine - www.domain.com points to my iweb site. But how can i make sure that domain.com (without the www.) also points to my iweb site? I know I could change settings on my domain registrar (godaddy) and create an A record but it requires an IP address to point to...
Any ideas?

But how can i make sure that domain.com (without the www.) also points to my iweb site?
Please read the 3rd bullet on the godaddy instructions
http://help.godaddy.com/topic/163/article/4100
I know I could change settings on my domain registrar (godaddy) and create an A record but it requires an IP address to point to...
If you want to do it that way, you use the IP for web.me.com You can find this at any of the countless websites which let you look up IP's.

Domain name transfer to iweb

Have created an iweb site, and want to use my domain name currently held at 123-Reg on the site. Have followed instructions, but there appears to be 2 fields to input data one which is @ and the 'www' - I have the info to put in the 'www' field which is web.mac.com - what do I put in the @ field, both currently have 194.154.164.190 in. Hope someone can help.

Yes, he should double check that he is really working with CNAME. The presence of IP numbers may indicate that he is working with A records, which is not the right place to be.

Business catalyst transfer hosting / domain name issues

Hello,
Hopefully someone can help with this. There is no information to be found anywhere about this anywhere. So here goes..
-Basically I have a an old site using my .com hosted away from CC. I also have a newer version of my website hosted at CC and using the same .com BUT using the 'Business catalyst" tag"
-I now want to shut down my old site hosted away from CC-to free up the .com so I can use me new website WITHOUT having to use the Business catalyst tag (While remain being hosted on CC)
This is what my other host has asked me to get - (and that Adobe has no information on)
My old host:
"In order to transfer the domain name to your new provider (CC) you need to organise the following:
.co.uk domain - In order to transfer the .co.uk domain name,
we need to be given the new 'Nominet Tag' for your new provider (CC). We can then switch the tag at our end and your new provider (CC) can gain access to the domain name.
.com domain - In order to transfer the .com domain name, your new provider (CC) will need to request a transfer of the .com domain from their end. We have unlocked the domain so this can be requested. Once they have done this, we will be able to provide an authorisation code that will enable them to complete the transfer."
Please help. This is very confusing..
Thanks in advance to anyone that can help!!

Hi,
If planning on reusing a domain for another site...
First you need to remove the domain from our old site/host. Once you have done this you can then add your domain to whichever site you require. Then set up your DNS accordingly whether you want to host with BC or externally.

Windows 8.1 will not issue a Domain Name Request.

I have a windows 8.1 system that will not issue a Domain Name Request to resolve a simple query such as www.microsoft.com. It works OK in my Windows 7 system on the same computer. I know this is happening because I run the Wireshark packet
trace on each system. Windows 7 issues the request; Windows 8 does not. I can flush the DNS cache with "ipconfig /flushdns, net stop dnscache, net start dnscache". When I try to do email, Thunderbird can't find the server; when
I try to browse the internet, the browser(Opera, Chrome, Mozilla) can't resolver the name. ipconfig /all looks normal. The Domain Name Server is hardwired (8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4, or 208.67.222.222, 208.67.220.220). Any ideas?

Hi,
If you ping the server with its IP address, could it work? If so, it should be your Windows 8.1 DNS components problem.
When this problem occures? If this problem just occures recently, it would be better to make system restore to revert your system to a former normal time point.
In not, firstly, try to reinstall NIC driver for test. Also check Event Viewer if it identify the problem.
As you said, you run Wireshark Packet. In my opinion, it would be better to run this tool to capture you network communication trace in Windows 8.1. This maybe could help you find the reason of the problem.
In addition, Network Monitor also a good choice to captuer network trace.

Transfer of Domain Name

Ready to publish my site, found a great Web Hosting company,
but need to transfer Domain name. The new Web Hosting company
requires that I approve in advance any charges that they will incur
on my behalf for the transfer of the Domain Name. Being the
existing provider for the name (the site isn't up yet) Yahoo, I
don't know how many dollars this could be. Any ideas?

Okay, you bought a Domain name from Yahoo. Now you have a
site that you want to publish. How do you transfer your Domain Name
to the Web Hosting company? That's the question isn't it?
First of all, this will cost you nothing. You already paid
for your domain name and you will pay your web hosting company a
fee for hosting your web site.
We are dealing with two kinds of servers here: Domain Name
servers and web page servers. Your Yahoo Domain Name servers need
to point to the web servers that belong to the web hosting company.
That's what it means to transer your Domain name.
The domain name servers are the computers that contain the
information relating to your domain name, INCLUDING THE ADDRESS OF
THE WEB SERVER that contains your web files. There is a primary
name server and a secondary name server. Transferring your domain
name essentially means supplying the name servers with the address
of the web servers that contain your web files so web users will be
directed to your web site.
Instructions on how to transfer your Domain name (or, in
other words, how to edit your name servers) is on the Yahoo web
site. Your web hosting company has probably provided you with DNS
server addresses (primary and secondary). If not, you need to get
that information. You take that information and follow the
instructions on the Yahoo site for editing your name servers.

How to transfer exisitng domain names to business catalyst?

What are the requirements or what is the proccess to transfer exisitng domain names to business catalyst?
Your input is much appreciated.

Business Catalyst does not have a domain hosting capabilities, so you can not transfer domains to BC.
If you would like to point a domain to BC though you either point the A-record or NS records to your BC site:

New issue breaking Gmail when using custom domain name

I have been using my own domain name in conjunction with Gmail since the launch of Gmail. The use case is fairly straightforward -- I have my own domain name and have created an email address alias on this domain ("custom email address') that forwards email to my Gmail account. I have configured Gmail to override the From field with this custom email address. With this configuration, Gmail is happy.
On my Z10, I had created a Gmail email integration account via the Advanced Settings with my custom email address in the "email address" field and my gmail email address as the username with the appropriate gmail server settings. When I continue from the advanced screen, I was taken to the Google account login screen where I grant permissions for my BlackBerry to access my account. On this screen, I logged in using my gmail email address. This worked fine and I received email without incident on my Z10 since I bought it on the Feb launch date ... until this past weekend. My Z10 then suddenly reported that my settings had changed and nothing I could do could convince it to accept the above settings as correct.
If you have a similar configuration and have noticed recent issues, there is a solution. This new "issue" appears to be that when you log into the Google permissions screen during the BB10 email account configuration process (i.e. the Google login page after you enter all the server settings in Advanced section of BB email account setup), you are no longer allowed to enter a username that differs with the custom email address you are setting up. It won't ever tell you that this is the problem. You just get a vague email settings error at the end of the process and you can't get your mail. It is possible that Google is the one who introduced this glitch, since the solution is within your Google account configuration, not BlackBerry. Simply put, you must associate your custom email address with your gmail account login within Google.
To do this, log in to Gmail using your usual gmail address. Click on your Gmail address in the top right corner, select the "Account" link in the drop down. Click the "Edit" link to the right of the Email heading. At the bottom of this edit page add your custom email address in the field next to the label "Add a new alternate address". After you add it, you will need to verify this address via an email that will be in your Gmail account. I probably should have done this long ago, but never had the need to until now.
Now you can get BB email working again. Go back to the BB10 account settings page for your Gmail account. This time when are kicked over to the Google login page to grant permissions to your BlackBerry to access your account, use your custom email address as your Google username and use your usual Gmail password.

Amazing, Thanks !

How many domain names can I transfer to Apple.

I have a family (me) account. Family of four/one biz. The family each has their own domain. The biz has 4 domains. Can I transfer all domains including the four biz domains to the apple/me account. Yes/No. Is there a limit?
Also about a year ago I tried to transfer (1) domain over, my sons. What I total nightmare. I finally just gave up all together and I believe I'm fairly savvy tech wise. But the transfer had me stumped. I would appreciate it if someone out there who has made a transfer from "Network Solutions" to "Apple" could give me a blow by blow on how too. I would really appreciate it.

As Tom has said, you DO NOT transfer your domain names - Apple does not host domain names, they just host your MobileMe website.
What you need to do is enter the domain name into the personal domain name section of your MobileMe account and then go to the DNS settings at Host Excellence and set up a new CNAME forwarding for your domain name to web.me.com - this creates the link from your domain name to where your site is published at MobileMe - web.me.com.
You can have one CNAME forward for every MobileMe account so if you have a Family Pack, then one for the main account and one each for the 4 sub accounts, so 5 in total.
Once you have used up the 5 you have, if you want anymore then you just need to use ordinary web forwarding.

New Domain Names and Contact Form Issue

Hello all,
I'm working for a client who is using one of the newer domain name extensions. It reads like this: www.COMPANYNAME.farm
The .farm is a new extension.
On my contact form I use the e-mail address [email protected]
The e-mails are never sent through. You can submit a form, it says it sends successfully, but the e-mail is never received.
Any ideas if adobe muse has troubles with the new 'non-standard' domain extensions?
Any other solutions?
Thanks,
Jonney

Sounds like you are hosting on GoDaddy? If so, there are plenty of threads on here with the same problem.
Generally what you need to do is create a dummy hotmail address and list it first. [email protected], [email protected] and that will likely fix your problem. Kind of a crazy work around but that is a GoDaddy issue (if in fact you are hosting with GoDaddy).

IWeb transfer to another domain name?

I recently purchased a .com name..........from another server.
I would like to transfer my iWeb page to this server but am really getting confused. Is there a simple tutorial or way to do this? I have printed out the tutorial from iWeb and lso from the server, but when it comes down to CNAME, MX Record, A Record, NS Record..........help?
Thank you.

If you have published your site to MobileMe, then you DO NOT need to use ftp in any way shape or form. FTP is only needed if you are uploading your site directly to a hosting account, which you have now said that you do not have, just the domain name.
Also, you ARE NOT trying to forward MobileMe to your domain name - it is the other way around - what you will do if forward your domain name to MobileMe where you site is published.
1. Log in to your MobileMe account under System Preferences and go to where is has Personal Domain on the left hand side and click on this and then where it has enable your domain name, simply enter your domain name here and it will then tell you to go to your domain name registrar and set up CNAME forwarding.
2. Go to where you domain name is (your domain name registrar) and log into your account there and then go to the DNS settings and set up CNAME forwarding.
If you have A records, then you need to delete these and set up 2 new CNAME's, one for www and one for @. The www represents your sub domain, which is http://www.domain.com and then the @ represents your domain name itself which is http://domain.com.
Set up CNAME forwarding for both these so it should look something like this:
www CNAME web.me.com
@ CNAME web.me.com
This is all you need do and your site should then work.
You might have got the correct help here faster if you had stated from the start that you were actually publishing your site to MobileMe.
Also remember, that MobileMe will no longer be here next year, so you will need to get a hosting account from another company, preferably the same company that your domain name is registered with.

DNS Server does not resolve new generic Top Level Domain names- CNR configuration issue?

Hi all,
I am not sure if this is the correct community to post this question, but I will give it a try. I noticed that the users of my network cannot resolve web sites using new top level domain names, like ".education", ".international", etc. I have an internal DNS server made by Infoblox and a Cisco CNR v6.3.3.1 as an external DNS server. Infoblox uses CNR as its forwarder and CNR uses the root DNS servers for queries.
I would think that CNR was the problem because it is an obsolete product but after speaking with a fellow engineer at another organization where they still use an older version of CNR than mine, they have no problems at all. So now I am thinking it is a setting either on Infoblox, or on CNR I need to change. I can see Infoblox is forwarding the requests to CNR but that's about it. I am not sure if CNR is discarding the request. When I do an nslookup from a PC in my network it does not matter if I set my DNS server to be the Infoblox or the CNR. Neither resolves the URL.
Then again, no matter what I lookup using the CNR as my DNS, I only get a response with the root DNS names and IPs!
Any help is appreciated!

Hi Constantinos,
Have you taken a look at the infoblox community site? We've just reposted your question there and alerted some internal SMEs that should provide a solution soon.
