Edit DNS / Renew problems

  • Unknown's avatar

    Hi,

    My subscription / upgrade expired and I am looking to renew. It says to update DNS servernames and I am shown this:

    MX <pref> <host>
    TXT <text>
    CNAME <subdomain> <host>
    A <subdomain> <IP>
    SRV <_service._protocol> <priority> <weight> <port> <domain>

    I am a bit confused as to how to update it in WordPress.com It shows me a form where I can “add DNS records for this domain”.What should I enter in the form for “Save DNS records” and what format should I use?

    My url is battleavenue.org

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    Don’t mess with ANY records

    Your domain name battleavenue.org. is in Redemption and needs to be renewed – you need staff help to renew the domain name –

    I have flagged this for the staff to help

    Thank you auxclass.

    What does “in Redemption” mean?

    Redemption is the registration period after the renewal grace period but before the domain name is released back to the wild or auctioned off.

    The staff need to special handle the renewal – the Registrar usually has an extra charge for renewal during Redemption – if so those charges are passed on to the domain owner

    I gotcha. So how / when will I know if they are going to help me with the renewal process?

    The staff usually reply in this thread and then send an email to the owner of the domain registration (email of record) and the rest of the renewal is usually done by email since you are sent payment links

    as to when – don’t know – the staff check the forum on a regular basis but I don’t know their schedule
