So you have created a website with Free Webstore and now need to configure your domain name at Gandi so that it takes visitors to your webstore.
You will need to log into your domain name with any of the contacts (other than the billing contact) (trouble logging in?).
First, make an editable copy of your zone file.
Then, you will need to make the changes that will point your domain at your webstore. You can do this by adding an A record for the www
subdomain to point to 91.201.200.10 (or whatever IP Free Webstore has assigned you).
It will look something like this:
www 10800 IN A 91.201.200.10
You will also want the bare domain to point at the same website, so you must either:
example.com
) redirects to the www
subdomain (www.example.com
), or @ 10800 IN A 91.201.200.10
Here is an example of a zone file for a domain (we'll use example.com
) that will bring visitors to a freewebstore.org website:
www 10800 IN A 91.201.200.10 @ 10800 IN A 91.201.200.10 @ 10800 IN MX 50 fb.mail.gandi.net. @ 10800 IN MX 10 spool.mail.gandi.net. imap 10800 IN CNAME access.mail.gandi.net. smtp 10800 IN CNAME relay.mail.gandi.net. webmail 10800 IN CNAME agent.mail.gandi.net. blog 10800 IN CNAME blogs.vip.gandi.net. pop 10800 IN CNAME access.mail.gandi.net.
After having finished configuring your domain for your webstore, you will need to make some technical changes in your Free Webstore account (namely, attaching your domain to your webstore). For security purposes, Gandi cannot perform these changes for you.
