these changes. However, your registrar will have a dedicated support staff that
can help make the following two changes:
Name Servers
NetBoots currently does not support or host domains on our name servers. This
policy keeps down the cost of NetBoots while ensuring that you are in control of
your domain settings.
For each additional domain that you want to point to your NetBoots website you
forward them to your original custom URL (The original custom URL is the one
that points to 67.23.11.172). Look below for more information.
Custom Domain A - You have your domain registry make the A record point to
67.23.11.172 and the CNAME "www" point to "domains.netboots.net"
Custom Domain B - Forward the domain to Domain A
Custom Domain C - Forward the domain to Domain A
Custom Domain D - Forward the domain to Domain A
This will successfully point all of your domains to your NetBoots website.
