sprite Posted December 17, 2015 Report post Posted December 17, 2015 Hello All, We recently moved our website to a hosting service and when I look at our profile on their portal I see a CNAME entry for our website. Up until now I had a www host record pointing to the IP address of the website but this did not resolve the issue. Yesterday I deleted the www host record and created a CNAME entry matching what I see on the hosting providers portal but again still no luck. - I can successfully ping the website name and IP address - our domain name is abc.com with the website being www.abc.com - nslookup resolves going through our DNS server showing the alias and targeted host - when I enter the IP address into the browser I get "404 the site you were looking for could not be found" Question with creating a CNAME...do i need to use an alias name or leave it blank? The Fully Qualified domain is abc.com and the target host is abc.webhostingcompany.com I have only been with this company for little over a year but people tell me the website never worked internally. I appreciate any suggestions. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
