DNS information
If you are using external DNS and creating an A-record, you need to point it to the relevant server's IP address. These are -
- 203.134.157.114 for sites on the Asia Pacific data centre
- 202.176.14.137 for sites on the NEW Australian data centre
- 69.20.239.62 for sites on the OLD North America data centre
- 83.231.190.50 for sites on the OLD Europe data centre
- 192.150.2.140 for sites on the NEW United States data centre
- 192.150.8.140 for sites on the NEW European data centre
If you are unsure which Data Centre your site resides on you can find the IP address by simply pinging your trial URL. To ping a URL on Windows you need to click Start -> Run -> type in "cmd" and press enter. You should now see the black DOS Prompt window. There you need to type in "ping" followed by the trial URL and press enter, e.g.
ping sitename.partnerdomain.com
You should then see the trial URL resolve to an IP address. That's the IP address you need to point the domain name to.
Our DNS servers are ns01.businesscatalyst.com with an IP address of 203.134.157.116, and ns02.businesscatalyst.com with IP address 203.134.157.117. Please see DNS redelegation" for more information.
