I have a wordpress blog hosted on blog.company.com, and now I'm trying to create a DNS entry on Heroku to get mycompany.com but I get the following error:
! could not create zone; already registered on Zerigo to a different account?
What am I missing herE?
Thanks
At a guess there's already an account on Zerigo that has the zone mycompany.com registered to it.
You can't (easily) have a domain hosted on two seperate DNS providers, you're best option would be to find the DNS host of blog.mycompany.com and setup a subdomain on the mycompany.com domain, eg www as a cname entry to proxy.heroku.com and then add www.mycompany.com as a custom domain on your heroku application.
The fact that you're getting the message about a duplicate zone, is Zerigo already hosting the DNS for blog.company.com perhaps? In which case login to the control panel for that (the zone is company.com) and add a record for your site.

I have a website hosted on a cPanel, I need to change it to Cloudflare nameservers and then the dns records so the main domain will be pointed to a vps ip address and the mx records keep using cPanel records. The problem is I found a lot of TXT records created by the cPanel and I don't know what I should take or leave since they look so random.
My cPanel DNS Zone Editor:
Notice:
I have two active domains on my cPanel, the first is the main domain which I would like to transfer to point to my vps, the second should keep working on the cPanel. but I found related txt records in the first domain, looks like this caldav._tcp.DOMAIN2.tn.DOMAIN1.tn. (check screenshot)? Why does it even exists in the main domain records?
I just need to move the main domain and keep the mailing service with cPanel! Which TXT records should I create on Cloudflare after I change the domain nameservers?
If you are planning on keeping your eMail where it is but only plan on changing the web site to use CloudFlare you should really leave ALL of these TXT records as they are.
SPF = Sender Policy Framework (which is a list of servers or services that can send eMail using your domain name)
DKIM = Domain Key Identified Mail (is a form of anti-alteration system to stop eMails being altered in transit)
DKIM is unique to each domain and subdomain so if you have a eMail service on the second domain you should have an SPF & DKIM record for them too.
As for the bottom rules I don't know what they are.
I know this question has been asked numerous times here but I still don't get the solution, sorry about that.
I deployed a wordpress multi site VM on my Azure account and purchased a domain name "https://jobinwrites.com" from Azure DNS service. I followed the instructions here to map an "A record" to the IP address of this Azure VM:
And this is how the overview of the Azure VM looks like:
When I hit the IP address of the machine or the jobinwrites.westus.cloudapp.azure.com domain, I correctly hit the service. However, when I try jobinwrites.com, the browser returns a DNS address not found exception. What am I doing wrong here? Thanks in advance.
According to your description, you want to map a custom domain name to your Azure VM, we should buy this custom domain name first.
Azure DNS is not the domain registrar.
We should login your 3rd party domain register configure page.
Each registrar has their own DNS management tools to change the name server records for a domain. In the registrar's DNS management page, add a new A record, like this:
Host type value
xxxxx A 104.42.230.37
If you want to add a CNAME record, please refer to this answer.
I have a domain in Arvixe and I want to point it to my Wordpress website hosted in Goddady.
I've tried to add that domain in my wordpress website and add the NS registers on Arvixe domain manager, but I found this error: Registry error, domain's nameservers not updated [Object status prohibits operation]
These are my DNS Register on Goddady:
And this is my domain area on Arvixe:
Did someone face this situation?
It looks like you are trying to change the name servers or delegate your domain to GoDaddy when what you actually want is to point www.yourdomain.bleh at your Word Press site hosted on GoDaddy.
In the Arvixe domain manager simply add a A record pointing to the IP address of your GoDaddy web server and make sure the site is configured on GoDaddy as www.yourdomain.bleh
Unless you want to move the control of the DNS to GoDaddy then you don't need to worry about the dns settings at all on that side of things.
The error you get from your dns provider hints that they may not let you change the NS entries freely. (May they charge or require further checks in place before its allowed)
I had to ask on Arvixe Support to point my domain to GoDaddy. So I informed the Register A and the Name Server to the attendant and he changed for me.
I manage a hosting server using WHM. I have two cPanel accounts on this server, one for exampletest.com (account name is exampletest) and one for example.com (account name example). We have a Wordpress site that was working well at exampletest.com but we keep running into problems when we try to migrate it to example.com. I believe it has to do with one WordPress plugin that doesn't migrate well.
So we had the idea to simply take the example.com domain and point it to the exampletest cPanel account, then update the domain for WordPress in the database. However, one potential issue I can see is that we have many active email addresses on the example account. I fear that associating the example.com domain to the exampletest account will break the email addresses.
Keeping the above in mind, I have a couple questions:
Will associating the example.com domain to the exampletest account break the emails? If so, is there a workaround (moving the email addresses to the new account somehow?)
Is there a better way to go about doing this that I'm not thinking of?
The best way of transferring your wordpress site would be to copy the files, create a database user with the same login details and import the database. Wordpress shouldn't be able to tell the difference.
One way would be to assign a static IP address to exampletest and point example.com's A record to that IP.
Due to the way WHM's DNS and port binding is set up it will not let you set up the same domain on two seperate accounts.
You could treat www. as a seperate subdomain and add the subdomain www.example.com to exampletest as an addon domain and remove the www A record from example first. Redirect all web traffic from example.com to www.example.com or use another sub-domain such as www2.
Another option would be transfer the emails, you can either use the transfer tools in WHM > Transfers or use http://imapsync.lamiral.info/
i am going to create some sub-domains on my website.
when i create a sub-domain i must define a directory that sub-domain will refer to newly created sub-domain. but i want a different solution.
i want to detect when a user enters a URL , which sub-domain is used and then do some operation for each special sub-domain.
for example if website user entered a.mysite.com
i extract "a" sub-domain from URL and then without redirecting webpage i load some data in page.
please help me how i do these,on both web-server and localhost?
In general your application doesn't care about the host name, so you have to configure your IIS to handle all requests.
Production only: Create a wildcard DNS record for your domain (e.g. *.domain.tld)
Your IIS site should have no explicit bindings, so that ALL incoming requests hit this application (other sites should still work fine!).
After this you can check the HttpContext.Current.Request.Url and extract the requested subdomain.
