If you have purchased your own custom domain and want to use it with your Zoomforth sites, then you need to do a bit of setup with your domain provider's DNS.
You must "point" your domain at the Zoomforth share server domain shareserver.zfops.com.
Do this by settings up a CNAME
entry to shareserver.zfops.com
.
If you are setting up your domain with a subdomain, like: jobs.acme.com
or www.acme.com
, then this should be no problem.
However, if you want to use a "root domain" (also known as a "naked domain") like acme.com
, then you cannot directly use a CNAME
entry. However, many DNS services provide a CNAME
-like functionality which accomplishes the same behavior. It is often referred to as an ALIAS
but may have a different name depending on your provider.
DNS providers known to support CNAME-like functionality:
At DNSimple, it's called
ALIAS
At DNS Made Easy, it's called
ANAME
At easyDNS, it's called
ANAME
At CloudFlare, is called
CNAME
(It's possible your DNS provider may support this behavior but may call it something else entirely different.)
Noteable DNS providers that do NOT support this:
Amazon's Route53
If your DNS provider does not support this, then it is fairly simple to switch your domain to another provider. Contact support if you need help with this.
