Making Your Site Preview Live
There are a few different ways of making your site live on the internet.
- New Website: Domain is Hosted by Redman
- New Website: Domain is not Hosted by Redman
- Upgraded Website
New Website: Domain is Hosted by Redman
If you are getting a new website with Redman Technologies and we also host your domain, we can make the appropriate updates on your behalf after we have received confirmation that you are ready for your website to be live!
New Website: Domain is not Hosted by Redman
If your domain is not hosted by Redman, you will have to access your domain management panel and update the NameServer Records to:
Record Type: NS Record
Hostname: blank
TTL: 3600 seconds
Address: ns1.redmantech.ca
Record Type: NS Record
Hostname: blank
TTL: 3600 seconds
Address: ns2.redmantech.ca
Once this update is complete, additional DNS updates you may require in the future would need to be made by Redman on your behalf.
If you would like to maintain complete control over your DNS Records, you can update them to the following:
Record Type: A Record
Hostname: blank
TTL: 3600 seconds
Address: 174.129.209.50
Record Type: A Record
Hostname: www
TTL: 3600 seconds
Address: 174.129.209.50
Record Type: CNAME Record
Hostname: blog
TTL: 3600 seconds
Address: blogs.redmantech.ca
Alternately, if you are not comfortable updating your DNS Records, you can provide your domain registrar login information, this information will be used for setting up your website only and will not be kept on file or be able to be used for any future DNS Record updates.
Upgraded Website
If your website is already hosted by Redman and you are upgrading then setting your site live is easy! Simply send us a confirmation email approving your website updates and the Creative Team can begin making the appropriate updates.
