Forum

I am using a www.invisionfree.com hosted forum and theres an option to link directly to your domain, (Domain Manager) and it says:

Add Domain Name
Domain:
Example: forums.example.com
You do not need to add a separate www.forums.example.com record.

The domain should point to z3.invisionfree.com with a CNAME record.

I want to make it link to http://boards.hockeylives.com

I don't know what to do.

That's why I'm confused. I don't have a host for my domain. But I need to change the CNAME record. How can I do this?

The IP address is the IP address of your web server.  If your web host gave you name servers to use, you will need to set your CNAME record with your web host, not us.

I'm a little bit confused... Where am I supposed to get the IP address for the domain? I just need to change the CNAME record.

edit: got it to work.

You can add/change CNAMEs in the Dynadot DNS domain server selection box. Our help section shows how to navigate to there:

How do I set up DNS for my domain?

where can I change it?

Just to update this post, our Dynadot DNS now supports CNAMEs.

Although I register my domains at Dynadot, I use EveryDNS.net for my nameservers. It does support CNAME and many other features, so you may want to try it out.

Sorry, our Dynadot DNS options does not allow the setting of CNAME records right now. We are currently rewriting our DNS options to support more options, including CNAMEs. But it won't be ready for a few weeks.
