SELF HELP – How to Point/Redirect a URL

1.You will receive an email from EXIT Realty Corp. International indicating that your requested domain name has been approved. Now it’s time to redirect or point that domain to your EXIT website.

2. Make sure your domain is marked “ON” in the website dashboard.

3.Your domain provider is the company where you purchased your domain name, such as GoDaddy.com. To redirect/point your domain name to your EXIT website, sign into your domain provider (sometimes called a registrar) control panel and browse to domain settings.

4.You want to redirect or point your domain name to your EXIT site. You DO NOT want to transfer, mask, or forward your domain name. You DO NOT need extra services like hosting or an email service.

5.It is important to note that what you require is to have the DNS A Record set to 38.64.166.13. You can also confirm that the CNAME Record is configured to handle WWW traffic.

6.The following example is using GoDaddy.com as the domain provider and yourdomain.com as a sample domain name.

7.After signing into the domain provider, browse to My Products to find the list of domains you own. Find yourdomain.com and hit the ‘DNS’ button next to it to enter advanced settings.

8.In the section called Records please remove any A and CNAME records if they exist, then click “Add”

9.Select “A” value from the dropdown list named “Type:, enter value “@” into the field named “Host”, enter this value: 38.64.166.13. Into the field named “Points to” finally change the value in “TTL” dropdown list to lowest possible.

10.If no CNAME ‘www’ entries already exist, click “Add” and select “CNAME”. Enter value “www” into the field named “Host”, enter @ Into the field named “Points to” finally change the value in “TTL” dropdown list to lowest possible

11. After checking all the edits hit “Save” button.

12.It may take 24 – 48 hours to fully propagate. During that time, you may see that your domain displays correctly intermittently. If, after 48 hours, your domain is not displaying consistently, please contact your domain provider’s support desk.
