Hey, thanks Mika. I'm going totally batty over here.
Yes, but which site :)
So, based on various and conflicting information I've gotten about how to handle my why-do-things-the-easy-way situation, this is what I've got :
At my registrar, for one of the domains in my network I've got
@ A = IP address
www CNAME = the registrar's auto redirect
At my host, I've got with and without www declared. The domain is mapped correctly without www but not with. The www redirects to my registrar.
With the 2nd domain - the one I've been testing different mapping configurations with - I've got
@ A = IP address
www A = IP address
then at my host, I've got both versions declared (multi domain), and I've completed an extra step - as per instructions I've found online - to also "add" the domain to my host. Really not sure what this means and how it is different that declaring the multi domain, except that it gives me DNS zone access on the host end.
This domain (both versions), after emptying my DNS cache and waiting patiently, now redirects to the main network site (i.e. not where I want it to go).
I'm obviously doing something wrong, but feel like I've tried every combination possible. Though I learned about DNS cache emptying late in my trials. Any insight about the right way to handle this (besides waiting to be able to transfer the domain to the host, still have 30+ days to go), would be greatly appreciated!
best,
