Pointing an existing domain name to business catalyst.

[allenbunch777123]

Hi there,
I have an existing site called www.design180.co.nz. But I have designed a new site. I want to replace the old site with the new one Ive redesigned Adobe in muse. The hosting company has the domain name, I will need them to point the domain name to the business catalyst, where the new site will be hosted. Ive 5 free accounts so I will use one of them. This is where I am stuck... Does he point to "ns1.worldsecuresystems.com (54.236.190.129)" - primary DNS server.

At present the site is set up as a trial in Muse design18002.businesscatalyst.com

After he points to the site can i save the muse site as www.design180.co.nz

Hi there, I am guessing your reading the documentaiton. That is correct, if your pointing all traffic to your BC site you need to use those NS records.

What you then do is go into your site admin, into site settings and manage domains. You need to set up your domain in there.

Once you do that, it can take up to 24 hours for a .com, but for a .co.nz it should take about an hour or so tops to propergate. ISP's cache dns different so some may take longer, especially if someone is viewing outside NZ.

Brilliant , thanks a heap Liam. I"ll pass that NS record onto the host provider.
