    custom domain url intermittent routing

    Greetings!

     

    I hope someone can help.

    My zenfolio account with a custom url, www.lookbackart.com, does not work reliably.

     

    It is intermittent and inconsistent - sometimes it links to my customized account and other times it routes to the zenfolio home page.   

    I originally set up a CNMAE and Arecord as instructed at Godaddy.com.   Even after waiting 4 days the intermittent problem would randomly strike.  For 10 minutes it would properly route traffic to my site then suddenly it would get routed to the godaddy.com home page instead.

    I contacted Godaddy tech support and they suggested I set up "domain forwarding" which is supposed to automatically set the dns settings.  I did that with  @ www.zenfolio.com.  They also said - For your domain to forward, your domain's A record must be 64.202.189.170.   I set that too.  

     

    So thats where I am now.   Still intermittent connections - sometimes I get into my account, other times I get routed to the zenfolio home page ( rather than my account ).  Before forwarding it would be intermittent between my account and dodaddy's stand in page.

     

    What should I do?

     

    Thanks for your help in advance!

    Looks like the problem is solved!

     

    Zenfolio tech support was quick to answer my email with a pdf specific to my domain provider.   I once again set a CNAME and A record.  Looks like it works reliably now.

    Fast and good tech support. 

     

    Much appreciated!
