Bongo4U: How do I setup my domain name to point to my website?

To setup your own domain name to point to your Bongo4U website, you will need access to your domain name's DNS configuration wherever your domain name is hosted. Perhaps your ISP or website service provider hosts your domain name's DNS information for you. Someone with access to your domain name's DNS information will need to make the domain name changes described in the second step below.

There are two steps in this process.

Step 1 of 2

Send an email to support@bongo4u.com and include the following in your email message:

The following domain name(s) will be changed to point to my Bongo4U website: _____________, ____________ [etc....]
My Bongo4U website's current URL is: http://________.bongo4u.com

We will add those domain names into the Bongo4U Domain Name Table and have them point to your website.

Once we confirm that your domain names have been added to the Bongo4U Domain Name Table, then proceed with step 2.

Step 2 of 2

In your domain name's DNS information, you will need to change the IP address of your domain name(s) to be the following IP address: 216.185.157.172

(Note: Previous to June 14, 2012 the IP address was 64.40.107.37, but this address has now been deprecated and it was taken off-line after June 20, 2012. Use only the above active IP address.)

Please ensure that you change the IP address of your base domain name(s) as well as its "www." sub-domain alias or related CNAME record.

Once the above two steps have been completed and your IP address changes have propagated across the internet (which usually takes between 1 and 7 days), then you should be able to use your domain name(s) to access your Bongo4U website.
