In most cases, your domain name registrar will also be your DNS service provider and you will use the name servers provided by your domain name registrar. In certain cases, you may not want to use your domain name registrar's name servers. In this case, you may use the name servers provided by Print Science.
Once you have decided whether you will use your domain name registrar's name servers or the Print Science name servers, contact Print Science Technical Support to receive either the IP address of your server or the name servers.
¶ Configuration when using domain registrar's name servers
- Contact Print Science Support and receive the IP address of your server
- Log in to the control panel of your domain name registrar and navigate to the page where you can modify your domain name's DNS records
- Configure the IP address you have received from Print Science as the main DNS "A" record. This record might be labeled with "@"
- Configure a CNAME record for 'www' that points to the main domain name
The screenshot below illustrates the 2 DNS records you should configure for the example domain name "xyzprinting.us":
- Main "A" record pointing to IP address 123.123.123.123. In this case the main record is labeled '@'
- "CNAME" record for 'www' pointing to the main domain name "xyzprinting.us"
