Hi, I am trying to register the domain with UKreg.
I am paying for a fixed IP from my ISP, I told them I was wanting to
host so I guess the appropriate ports would be open.
UKreg have a control panel, and it seems some FAQ pages, but obviously I
cannot access them without being a customer.
Somewhere in their control panel, you would expect to find:
1. Name servers, probably containing entries like ns1.example.com and
ns2.example.com. Leave these alone.
2. DNS entries. These typically contain 'A' and 'CNAME' records with IP
addresses against them, and 'MX' entries like mx1.example.com and
mx2.example.com.
The 'MX' entries tell the world where your mail servers are. You aren't
changing this so leave these entries alone and mail to you@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
will continue to forward to whatever email address you have set up.
The 'A'/'CNAME' entries tell the world where your http server is. These
entries are probably currently set to your vendor's IP addresses for simple
web forwarding, and _these_ are the entries to change to _your_ IP.
