LISTSERV® CUSTOM DOMAIN EXTRA
|
|
|
| Use your domain or subdomain with all your LISTSERV® Lists! |
|
A free domain is included with your WebHelps subscription. During signup, you will choose how to use your free domain. You may select to use it with your LISTSERV® Lists and the usual setup fee will be waived. The information on this page applies only to using a domain or subdomain other than the free domain.
You may use your domain with all your LISTSERV® lists. If you elect to archive list emails, the URL (link) to your LISTSERV® List Archives will use also use your domain.
Unlike most companies offering this service, we charge only a one-time setup fee of $10.00 (rather than an ongoing fee). |
| YOUR INSTRUCTIONS |
| OPTION A: You *must* follow steps 1-3 below, if your domain (e.g. yourdomain.com) is being used in any way. If your domain is NOT in use, you may use either Option A or Option B. |
| 1. Contact your domain host's support department (usually where you registered your domain), or use the domain management forms provided by your domain host. |
| 2. Create a subdomain, such as lists.yourdomain.com, discuss.yourdomain.com, or newsletter.yourdomain.com. You may not use: listerv.yourdomain.com, as the word "listserv" is a registered trademark owned by LSoft. |
| 3. Point the subdomain hostname A record to 115.124.108.14. Do NOT create an MX record. |
| NOTE: This is the most common method for using your domain with your lists. |
| OPTION B: If your domain is NOT in use, you may follow Steps 1 and 2 below, or use Option A above, as you prefer: |
| 1. Contact your domain host's support department (usually where you registered your domain), or use the domain management forms provided by your domain host. |
| 2. Change your domain's Host Names (also called DNS or Name Servers) to: |
Host Name: ns.rackspace.com at IP Address: 207.235.16.2 (primary) Host Name: ns2.rackspace.com at IP Address: 207.71.44.121 (secondary) |
| Note: Eudora users will not be able to send mail to the list using your domain/subdomain, unless (a) they disable the SMTP check Eudora performs prior to sending an email [instructions]; or (b) you have added the LISTSERV® IP Extra. |
|
| We must manually setup your domain/subdomain on the LISTSERV® server. Although your list(s) can be immediately used with any of the default domains, please plan on waiting 24 hours before you can use your domain/subdomain with your list(s). Custom domain orders are completed in the order received. If you require expedited service, please submit a Help Ticket explaining your need. You may create your LISTSERV® List prior to receiving confirmation from the LISTSERV® Administrator that your domain/subdomain has been setup on our servers. The list can be configured to use your domain/subdomain at any time. |
| To easily check to make sure your domain/subdomain is pointed correctly and is using the correct name servers, go to NWTools.com, and perform a DNS query. |
