Updating Domain Settings on WebCentral
- Go to Webcentral.au
- Log in with the account user (If signing in for the user, will need to coordinate for security code / MFA)
- Go to OVERVIEW:
Click EDIT DNS on the domain for which you are updating:
- From here, look at the DOMAIN NAME menu and look in the ZONE MANAGER tab
- Either find a record to update or add a new record.
- When adding a new record (you can update the TTL - but the default is 3600)
For A record:
- Type: A
- Name: @
- Destination: Use the IP address provided from the Netlify record (ex. 75.2.60.5)
- TTL: 3600
For CNAME record:
- Type: CNAME
- Record Name: www
- Destination: Use the ID code/string provided from Netlify (ex. 2rmez3s7kydtndqw8southtexasswimassociation01222023140186.netlify.app.)
- TTL: 3600
If conflicting A records exist (with specific IP address info) this may need to be removed, but we can confirm when checking site status.
- Click SAVE.
UPDATE NAMESERVERS
- Follow all the same steps from above to get to your ZONE MANAGER.
- From here, look at the DOMAIN NAME menu and look in the DOMAIN DELEGATION tab
- The changes you can make:
- SET THE DEFAULT NAMESERVERS (this is okay to keep or use)
- YOU CAN TYPE IN YOUR OWN (this is where you'll need to input the nameservers provided by Commit's team) and use the "Add Another Name Server" button if needed.
- Click UPDATE after making changes.
*Once these records are updated. It can just 24-48 hours for all webservers, globally, to update these records.
**And it can take search engines a couple of weeks before search results return your new site.
***Both of these factors are out of our control to update - so please be aware of this!
