This tutorial assume that you are using 34SP.com as your webhost, and as your domain registrar.
Adding a Zone
After setting up an account at ZoneEdit.com, when you log in, you are presented with a screen similar to this.
From here, if you haven't already, you can set up a new Zone. (If you have already added the Zone, then you can skip down to the editing part of the tutorial).
Ignore everything in the "Optional Advanced Bulk Loader" section. Simply type the domain you want to use with zoneedit, and press the "Add Zone" button. You will then see a page similar to this.
You will then need to update the nameservers for your domain to those specified near the top of the page.
To update the nameservers for your domain, you need to login to www.34sp.com/login.html and select the services link. Next select the domains tab. When the page reloads you should see your domain listed. Select the 'more' link next to the domain.
On the subsequent page you will be able to set your nameservers.
You can however set everything up ready so that once the changes have propagated, your domain will be ready.
Editing the Zone
When you first edit the zone, you will see a screen similar to this. (You may see an error at the top asking you to update the nameserver. This will go away once the changes have been made, and propagated.)
You will need to add several IP Addresses (A records), so that your domain will work as it did before. Click the "IP Addresses" link, and you will get a page similar to this.
You will need to add several of these records. The following is a list of the ones you NEED to add
blank (as in leave the field before your domain blank)
www
ftp
mail
webmail
To find the IP address for your site, simply login to siteadmin, click your domain name, and the IP address will be displayed there.
When adding the blank (non-www.) record, you will see a screen like this
Click yes, you want both domain.ext and www.domain.ext to have that IP. Continue adding the records, until you have completed the list above. (For each record added, you will be asked if you are sure you want it to have that IP, answer yes.)
Once all the A records have been added, you should have a screen similar to this
You now need to enter an MX record. Click the "Mail Server (MX)" link.
You need to put in "mail.yourdomain.ext" handles mail 1st for "yourdomain.ext" (You may need to delete any MailForwarders.)
Advanced
You can use the "IP addresses (A)" section to point a subdomain of your site at another server (i.e., your own computer if you have ADSL or cable broadband. However, you can NOT use it to point a subdomain at the 34SP server.)
If you would like a subdomain (such as forums.yourdomain.ext), then you will need to use WebForward
"New Domain" refers to the subdomain you wish to have (i.e., forums), and "Destination" is where it forwards to (i.e., http://www.yourdomain.ext/forums).
"Cloaked" means that subdomain.yourdomain.ext will remain in the browser address bar (however, you would NOT be able to use subdomain.yourdomain.ext/somepage.ext as an address, because it uses a framed forwarder.)
