To point your Yahoo! Small Business domain to your website, you will need to update your DNS settings by modifying the A record and the CNAME record. This ensures your custom URL correctly reaches the servers while maintaining a secure connection.
Access Your Account: Log in to your Yahoo! Small Business account and click Domain Control Panel next to the domain you wish to connect.
Update the A-Record:
Locate your primary A-record and click Edit.
In the Destination field, change the IP address to 54.76.177.85 and click Submit.
Cleanup: If there are any other A-records listed for your domain, delete them to avoid conflicts.
Add the CNAME Record:
Click Add Record and select CNAME from the dropdown menu.
In the Source field, enter www.
In the Destination field, enter global.loadweb.com and click Submit.
Propagation Time: DNS changes are rarely instant. It can take anywhere from a few hours to 48 hours for these updates to spread across the internet.
External Service Updates: Yahoo! Small Business is an external provider; their interface and steps may change over time as they update their platform.
