    Linking your own domain name with your website
   
Use the following steps to fully integrate your domain name with your artHIVES website.  You can integrate up to 3 different domain names with your site (eg. www.example.com, www.example.com.au and www.example.net).
 
STEP 1. In your Back Office click the "domain management" link > enter your domain name in the "New Domain" field > click "Add"
 
NB. The following instructions are for domain names registered through the artHIVES domain name service.  It is possible to integrate domains registered through other companies, however the process will most likely vary.
 
STEP 2. Login into your domain name Management page > select the domain name you wish to link > Click "Administer"
 
STEP 3. > Click "Disable Redirector" and set Redirection Status to OFF
 
STEP 4. Click the "Domain Delegation" link > In the "Name Servers" fields enter ns1.partnerconsole.net (in the first field), ns2.partnerconsole.net (in the second field), ns3.partnerconsole.net (in the third field) > Click "Update".
 
STEP 5. > Click "Zone Manager" NB. If you see a message saying "Zone Manager Not Enabled" please contact us.
 
STEP 6. From the "Add a zone record" dropdown, select the "A record" > Leave the "Name" blank > In the Host field enter 208.77.145.190 > the "ttl" field should already display 3600 >  Click "Add Record"
 
STEP 7. From the "Add a zone record" dropdown, select the "CNAME Record" in the "Name" field enter "*" > In the Host field enter park.partnerconsole.net > the "ttl" field should already display 3600 >  Click "Add Record"

STEP 8. From the "Add a zone record" dropdown, Click the "CNAME" again, this time in the "Name" field enter "www"  > In the Host field enter www.arthives.com > the "ttl" field should already display 3600 >  Click "Add Record"
 
STEP 8. Give it some time - you are finished integrating your domain name with your website but it may take up to 72 hours to start working, however we generally find it only takes a few minutes to an hour.
