Updating DNS records
-
I just purchased the domain allthingsdots.com and was told to update DNS records. I don’t know how to do this or what I should be writing in the box.

http://allthingsdots.com/ appears to be working properly. Here’s what I see: http://d.pr/i/X7fo/81v6VViC
When a domain is registered or altered, there is a process called propagation, where information about the domain name is passed to internet service providers all over the world. This process can take up to 72 hours (though usually much less). During that time, you may also receive a warning message in your browser about “redirect errors”. Unfortunately, we have no control over this as it all depends on how often your internet service provider updates their records. Please rest assured that everything is proceeding normally with your domain.
You can continue to update your site while your custom domain propagates, by going directly to your Dashboard, here:
