Pointing your Domain Name at a vCluster
By Joe Gardiner Thursday, 22nd July 2010
Welcome to a short guide on how to point an external domain at your vCluster. After following these steps you will be able to use an externally registered domain to point to your vCluster.
Firstly, make sure you have an external domain and a CatN vCluster. An external domain is one you have registered seperately like a .co.uk address or a .com one. For example…
www.olliearmstrong.co.uk
…is an external domain. There are many places to register one of these domains and a Google search will reveal multiple registrars that you may use. You will probably want to choose the cheapest one that offers the best service and value for money, and for that I can recommend:
livetodot.com
Visit them and buy a domain if you don’t already own one. This will also be the registrar I will provide screenshots for.
