If you are using the Network Solutions name servers (DNS), you can change the DNS settings (DNS zones, DNS records) such as the A record. The A record is the DNS record that holds which IP address the domain should point to. This is the record you need to change so it points to PinnacleCart servers so your domain name then points to your store.

Applies to Version(s): All versions


Note: Contact our support team to get the IP address of your store if you do not have this.


Getting started


At NetworkSolutions.com, click the login button and then enter your network solutions username and password.

 If it says "Designated DNS" next to "Domain Currently Points To:", then you may want to stop and reach out to whoever controls those DNS servers as that is where you will need to go to update the A Records to point to PinnacleCart.


Click Edit A Records

Check the 3 Delete boxes next to the www, @ (None), and * (All Others). You will then add 3 new records for www, @, and *. For all three fields, enter your store's IP address under Numeric IP. Click Continue at the bottom
