In this tutorial we cover how to link a domain registered with Fashosts to your Fabrik website.

Fasthosts Domain Instructions

Go to the Fashosts site and click the "Log In" link at the top of the page. Once logged in click the "Domains" tab and then "Manage Domains".

On the domains page, you should see all the domains you own that are hosted with Fasthosts, click on the one you would like to point to your Fabrik site.

Now you should be in the management area for that specific domain, so we want to click on the "Configure Advanced DNS" link.

You will now see all the DNS records for your domain. We are only interested in the A records and CNames. You want to end up with one blank Host Name A record pointing to the Fabrik servers using the IP Address 23.101.60.214 then another one for where the Host Name is set to www and again points to the Fabrik servers using the IP Address 23.101.60.214. Just double check you have no CNames for with Host Name www, if you do delete that as it will effect you A record entry. Yours should look similar to this.

The Internet is a big place!

DNS records are replicated all over the internet so any changes you make can often take up to 48 hours to propagate. If after a few hours your domain still goes to the old location, please be patient and wait a bit longer. If you want absolute confirmation that you've set everything up correctly you can use Dig Web Interface.
