Setting Godaddy domains to your ULTRAMLS idx server

Here's a brief explanation to managing your domain's DNS server, also called 'name server'. Once a domain is registered, you must assign a 'traffic cop' to direct requests from the web to the appropriate web hosting server. 

Inside Goddady follow these instructions.

1) identify your domain name and click 'DNS'

godaddy dns


2) The Records are also known as 'zone's' for your domain. The @ character stands for the root as in  requests for http://calvinlawhomes.com

CNAME records stand for cananomical which are also known as, or alias. so http://email.calvinlawhomes.com will arrive to the real server listed in the value column.

'WWW' is a subdomain, so its necessary to enter it and indicated the @ or root server in the top value as the place to go.

For those interested in hosting disctinct sites out of one domain registation, you simple create a new name for it, like files.calvinlawhomes.com and give it a value.

Set or modify the zone files

3). Its important to note that if you need to restore Godaddy to the role of DNS server, make sure you enter the proper zone values to send folks to your domains mail server.
