If you buy your domain at gandi you get a free website of some sort, obviously this is hosted on their servers.
I tried making dns records on my box to use my domain for the free website on gandi but i ran into a problem.
I can only forward the www subdomain and not the short url. Gandi guided me through using the www subdomain by using a cname sorta like this;
www.box.me cname gandi.ws.
And it worked, but only for the www subdomain.
I want to be able to use the short url and have that forward to the www or atleast be able to use the short url for my gandi site.
I tried multiple ways to make this work;
box.me cname www.box.me.
box.me cname gandi.ws.
I even included the ‘.’
no matter what i did the short url (box.me) always went to the ‘this is a mail in a box’ page.
Im not sure what to do. please leave input.
