How to set-up your CNAME
Instructions for creating news.URL
In order for the NewsCactus newsroom to function properly, you need to add redirect instructions on your Web host. The instructions, called a CNAME record, seamlessly take the user from your server to the NewsCactus server when they click on the newsroom link.
Blogger Help has directions under the topic “How do I create a CNAME record for my custom domain?” which includes instructions for many different Web hosts. You could visit Blogger Help, select your domain host, and review the step-by-step directions they provide.
In fairly simple terms, with the company hosting your website, you’ll add a CNAME record named: news (or whatever name you select for your online newsroom — such as mediaroom, newsroom, pressroom, info, etc.).
Then you’ll give the CNAME record a value specific to your company’s newsroom on the NewsCactus server. That value will be determined once you sign-up for the NewsCactus online newsroom software and is your company name or initials followed by newscactus.com. For example, if my company were Acme Windows, the CNAME value may be: acme.newscactus.com
CNAME changes are usually located under the host’s DNS control menu.
Please note: If not done correctly, changes to your website DNS settings could adversely affect your website. NewsCactus cannot be held responsible for errors.
