Bad boy Warrior Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Not sure if this is the correct forum for this question. Using Win Server 2008 R2 with all updates. I have a website with the following entries set with the registrar company where the domain was purchased from DNS ENTRY TYPE DESTINATION/TARGET * A 1.2.3.4 @ A 86.15.122.7 IP 1.2.3.4 is the default IP of the registrar.IP 86.15.122.7 is my server address When i type in mysite.com this displays my site - great no problem here.When i type in www.mysite.com this displays the registrar's page.When i ping mysite.com this shows my IP (86.15.122.7).When i ping www.mysite.com this shows the hosting companies IP (1.2.3.4). In IIS against the sites binding i have two entries mysite.comwww.mysite.com I then set canonical with the primary address being mysite.com. The problem i have is when entering www.mysite.com i want it to go to my site and not the registrars site. So should i be changing the * record (currently set to 1.2.3.4) to achieve this? Please note there are MX records so i dont want to make a change which may disrupt another service. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tripredacus Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 I'm not sure about that * entry... I personally have not had this problem with IIS... specifically I use IIS as a secondary and not using DNS. I did a lookup and saw this tutorial, showing adding an A Record for www. http://www.vladville.com/articles/smallbizhosting.asp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad boy Warrior Posted February 20, 2015 Author Share Posted February 20, 2015 Yes that was correct. I didnt get a chance to update the thread but your correct by adding an A record for www resolved the issue. Thanks anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
