    Domain Forwarding Under Trial Version

    I am new to Zenfolio and have a trial version. I have my own website registered through GoDaddy. Is it possible for me to have the domain point to my Zenfolio trial version account, or must I upgrade to a full version to have to do this?

     

    Thanks.

    Re: Domain Forwarding Under Trial Version

    As far as I can remember, forwarding works with a trial account.

    Have a look here:

    Replace ****** with your user name.

    Yes, you will be able to map your GoDaddy account to your Zenfolio account. Please refer to these steps:

    Here are the specific  instructions on how to make changes with GoDaddy:

    1. Login to your GoDaddy account

    2. Select 'My Account'

    3. Select 'Manage Domains'

    4. Click on the domain you would like to edit (in this case 'domain.com')

    5. Find a link that reads 'Total DNS Control' and click it


    The following instructions assume you want www.domain.com to point to your Zenfolio home page. If you want to use a different name, e.g. photos.domain.com, you need to replace 'www' with 'photos' in the instructions below.

    6. Find a section called 'CNAMES (Aliases)'. If you see any existing CNAME records for 'www', remove them

    7. Click on 'Add New CNAME Record'

    8. In the 'Enter an Alias Name' field, enter ‘www’

    9. In the 'Points To Host Name' field, enter 'zenfolio.com'

    10. Click OK, and then OK once again to save changes


    If you also want usethelight.com (without 'www') to go to your Zenfolio page, you need to make more configuration changes:

    11. Find a section called 'A (Host)'. If you see any existing A records for '@', remove all of them.

    12. Click on 'Add New A Record'

    13. In the 'Host Name' field, enter '@'

    14. In the 'Points to Ip Address' field, enter 64.62.158.18

    15. Click OK, and then OK once again to save changes


    It usually takes up to 24 hours for the changes to propagate. After 24 hours, login to your Zenfolio account and under Preferences enter the new domain name exactly like you set it up in steps 6-10 above, i.e. www.domain.com

    Always here to help!
