Updating DNS

Hello System Admin.
If you have been given this URL, it is because you have special skills.

In order to make your new website live you will need to follow the instructions below. Please be mindful that these instructions may vary from registrar to registrar.

01

Locate your DNS settings within your registrar (Godaddy.com, Bluehost.com, Register.com, etc). This is typically under the "Domain" management area.

02

Choose "Manage" or "Edit" DNS in order to make changes to the records. It can sometimes be labeled as "Advanced" settings.

03

Under the "CNAME" section delete the "www" record

04

Create a New "CNAME" for "www" and give it this destination "ext-cust.squarespace.com"

05

Create an Additional "CNAME" for "wdk5wjkef4rfhbwkl3nt" and give it this destination "verify.squarespace.com"

06

Under the "A Record" section replace the current IP address for "@" (or empty) with this new IP "198.185.159.144"

Add three more New "A Records" for "@" (or empty) with the following IP Addresses:

198.185.159.145

198.49.23.144

198.49.23.145

​​​​​​​Set the "TTL's" to as low as possible (600, 1800, or 3600)

Verify that the final settings include these records:
