Re: [cobalt-users] [RaQ 4][DNS] URL forwarding goes to wrong website

[Rusty Wilson <rustyw007@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thank you to Flash22@xxxxxxx, Brian, and Dan!!!

I wish all my problems were this easy to solve.

All I had to do (as suggested by several people) was add laserfab.com,
and www.laserfab.com to the "Web server aliases" box in "Site
Settings". I had the dns part right (go figure - thats usually the
harder part...).

Thanks everyone for the help!
