Hello, I am trying to follow the following instructions, but I cant get it to work
Step 1 - Create CNAME Record
Log into your domain provider's site, and head over to the Zone File Settings, DNS Manager, or a similar area like that. Then, you will create a CNAME record that points your domain to Pixieset. You'll typically see the following fields:
Alias - This should be a subdomain like "client" (or "proofing", "gallery", whichever you prefer - pointing client.yourdomain.com to Pixieset), or "www" (pointing www.yourdomain.com to Pixieset). If you want to enable root domain mapping (e.g. yoursite.com), you can follow the instructions at the bottom of this page.
Type - Choose CNAME for this
Points To - Enter domain.pixieset.com (enter exactly as shown bolded, DO NOT replace domain with anything!)
Correct: domain.pixieset.com
I want the domain to be client.philippberndt.no
