Hi,

I have registered mydomain.com now i want to redirect to my IP hosting account.

The DNS editor shows two fields: Name and Address.

In Address i wrote the IP i want the domain redirects.

And in Name I wrote mydomain.com.

After submitting the form, the page shows this line:

Name                  Type     Record   
mydomain.mydomain.com.   A       173.203.58.251

I expected it shows this:

Name                Type     Record     
mydomain.com.           A    173.203.58.251

Is that OK? or am i doing some wrong?

Regards

Javi
