Custom URL and Domain Names


Custom Domain Name
It is possible to point have a custom URL (.com, .org .net) to override the
".netboots.net." To do this you must first purchase a custom domain from a
domain registrar such as GoDaddy.com or Register.com.

Pointing your Custom URL to your NetBoots website.


To point your Custom URL over to your NetBoots website you must make two
changes within your Domain Registrar. Unfortunately, each domain registrar has
a different interface and thus there are no concrete instructions on how to make

Page 4 of 68
NETBOOTS.NET Manual

these changes. However, your registrar will have a dedicated support staff that
can help make the following two changes:

A Record that points to 67.23.11.172


CNAME Record with "www" pointing to the host "domains.netboots.net"

Note* If your domain/website were previously hosted by a third party you


may not have the ability to make the changes above. If you find you are
locked from changing the A Record or adding new CNAME then you may
need to first "Park your Domain" which will re enable your control of your
domain settings.

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.

Multiple Custom Domains


It is possible to point multiple custom domains to your NetBoots website. To
accomplish this, first point one of your domains to NetBoots by creating an A
Record that points to 67.23.11.172 and a CNAME Record that points to
"domains.netboots.net" (see the above step for more information).

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.
