Good day everyone! Hopefully warm weather where you’re at. :)
As stated in my previous posts I had been with Lunarpages (and Cpanel) for the better part of 8 to 9 years before coming to DO a few months back. Well, I just purchased a new domain and I wish to have my old domain currently on DO only parked with the current filesystem to point to my new domain.
What I got: Droplet: xxx (not really…lol blushes) Domain: thexeno.com
What I would like: Droplet: kitribe (not needed to rename, but would be nice.) domain: kitribe.com (just finished the purchase process with name.com about an hour ago and been looking at tutorials ever since.)
PS: OH BTW, if this changes anything…i’m also using Server Pilot if that helps any.
If all I need to do is update the CNAME etc records (I kind of know how to do that through this interface) that would be cool but I haven’t moved an inch so I can get all the details/facts first.
Hope to hear from you and thanks, GreenKi
