Forward DNS Please HEEEELLLLPPPPPPP!!!
-
Sorry if I'm asking a rookie question here, I'm a hobbyist not a pro. I purchased a domain from Dodaddy and it's hosted on Network Solutions. We are now adding a shopping cart and need to create the subdomain shop.mydomain.com and forward the DNS to Volusion.
I assumed this is done at Godaddy, where I purchased the domain. I called and they told me that Network Solutions needs to do it. I called NS and they told me GD had to do it. I called GD again hoping to get a different answer, but NOPE... guess what??? "everyone knows that it's done by whoever is hosting the site." UUUUGGGG
So PLEASE let me know WHO has this responsibility???? Hopefully everyone has a common answer.
I still believe it's done at GD.
Thanks Everyone

Don't you hate when you get support like that?!
Anywho, you forward the DNS of your sub domain at GoDaddy.
To Edit a Subdomain
- Log in to your Account Manager.
- Next to Domains, click Launch.
- From the Tools menu, select DNS Manager. The DNS Dashboard displays.
- For the domain name with the subdomain you want to edit, click Edit Zone. The Zone File Editor displays.
- In the A (Host) section, click the subdomain you want to edit.
- Edit any of the following fields:
- Host — Enter the subdomain you want to use. Type @ to map the record directly to your domain name, including thewww.
- Points to — Enter the IP address you want the subdomain to point to.
- TTL — Select how long the server should cache the information.
- Click Save Zone File, and then click OK.
Hope that helps!

My beta site (beta.website.com) has been inadvertently indexed. Its cached pages are taking traffic away from our real website (website.com). Should I just "NO INDEX" the entire beta site and if so, what's the best way to do this? Please advise.

With varying letters & numbers. I have 26,000 crawl errors in GWT and I can only imagine it's because this is looping?
Can anyone advise if this would be causing grief? Thanks

Domain Forwarding and SEO
I have looked around and only saw older and contradicting responses to this question but what effect does having a domain with VALUABLE-KEYWORD.com forward to MAINSITE.com or COMMON-MISSPELLING.com forward to MAINSITE.com in terms of SEO and is it considered spammy or looked down upon
