Earlier i have purchased a web space of PHP and a domain name .
Now i have purchased another web sapce of ASP.net .I want to bind my existing domain name with my new Web space.
So through some google search i came to know to i have to make Entry of the new server's Ip in the DNS zone. In my previous PHP's Cpanel i m having the following window.
Should i make entry from here , and what should I enter at these textboxes.
Please help.
The best option is to change the nameservers at your domain registrar to your new host's nameservers which should be provided in their welcome email.

I have a DigitalOcean account where I host a domain example.com, now I created another DigitalOcean account and a new droplet and I want to move the domain to my new DO account, do I only have to add the new domain to new account via the DigitalOcean control panel, and removing it from the old one? Or do I have to do other extra stuff? I don't want to be locked out of my domain...
Edit: I'll add some more context, I bought my domain by Godaddy.com, after that I changed godaddy NS to DigitalOcean nameservers, so my next step would be to first remove the DNS records from my first DO account and then add them to my new DO account?
I assume you are using DigitalOcean's nameservers, since otherwise it would be trivial - just visit your registrar and update the records to point to the new droplet's IP.
Since DigitalOcean uses one global set of nameservers, it isn't possible to add the domain to a second account until it has been removed from the first account. You'll get an error.
Furthermore, some community support questions indicate that the removal isn't immediate, so you might not be able to add the domain on the second account right away. In that case, creating a support ticket should help.
To avoid downtime, you may want to use your registrar's DNS until then - visit the registrar, create all the required records, and switch to using the registrar's nameservers instead of DigitalOcean's. You can then switch back after you have added the domain on the second account.
We have our on Godaddy and website (developed on php) and emails are running. We developed new website with asp.net, umbraco, sql 2012 which we want to host on arvixe but with same domain name.
I am actaully not an IT Admin so I am not sure about the procedure to do this.
I want to run new website on Arixe with old URL (website hosted on Godaddy) but do not want to transfer emails. Emails should run under godaddy.
What information I exactly need from old registerar to have configuration on arvixe?
While registering new hosting with Arvixe, there is an option to give (existing domain name) if we have and a checkbox with "I want to transfer my domain" Do I need to transfer my domain??
Please reply as I am not aware of this all.
I would like to forward:
www.example.com/intake
to:
xx.xx.xx.xx/forms/intake.php
Do I do this by using an A record?
When I try to do this on GoDaddy I receive an error. It wants just the IP address without the specified path.
To do this with godaddy, follow this guide: https://www.godaddy.com/help/redirect-urls-with-your-hosting-account-5120
If you want to hide the IP address, you are either going to have to set the A record of the domain to their IP and expect that server to have hosting for your domain name(not what you want), or you are going to have them listen for requests on a subdomain.
Other then that, if you are customer with godaddy, why not ask godaddy for support?
There's multiple ways to do what you want but using an A record has nothing to with url redirection, just dns pointers.
You can only do this if you have hosting attached to your domain name.
i am accessing my wamp server from WAN through PC's IP address 122.xxx.xxx.xx. but now i want to access my wamp through DOMAIN name.
i only have my domain name and no other credentials for setting. is it possible with domain name?
You need to point your domain name at that ip address. In your settings or admin panel where you setup/purchased your domain name set the ip address to the 122.xxx.xxx.xx you have been using.
This really depends upon your location.
If when you reboot your router you get a new WAN IP address every time, then you cannot use the domain name you have purchased. You would have to use a Dynamic DNS provider like DYNDNS.COM or Amnon's suggestion DNSEXIT.COM or one of the others that provide this service. With that service you will unfortunately have to use one of their sudo domain names, which means you will have to use something like YOURDOMAIN.ONE_OF_THEIR_DOMAINS.ONE_OF_THEIR_TLDS, so it would look like mydomain.dyndns.net they normally have quite a few to choose from, but it wont look like www.yourdomain.com
If you always have the same WAN IP address for your router then you can use you purchased domain name. You will have to contact whoever you purchased it from, they would normally provide a web site where you can login and set the ip address you want to use for the domain name you have purchased. Once that is done and you give the DNS servers a few minutes to a few hours to get updated you will be able to use that domain name.
I'm hosting my own website on my personal server running Ubuntu server. My public IP address is showing up in the status bar each time someone visits my sites or hovers over one of the links on the pages (i.e. when going to the home page it says waiting for myipaddress/index.php). I have purchased a domain name with godaddy. While I was able to find the option of mask the url in the address bar in the admin page, I was able to find no such option for the status page. Initially, I tried to embed JavaScript code into the php files but I later learnt from various posts (link) that we cannot control what is displayed in the status bar .
All I want to do is to display my domain name instead of my IP address each time the page loads and each time the user hover's over a link. Any ideas of how I should go about this?
You should just have your domain name point to your IP address and setup the site on your server to handle that domain. Then all requests will go to that domain name instead of directly to your IP address.
Note: it's very easy to find the IP address for any web server (based on a domain name) so you can't really hide it, but you can set it up so that it behaves just like any regular site that uses a domain name instead of an IP address.
Have you done anything to connect the webserver and the domain name? You're going to need name servers, often your domain provider will have something you can use, or you can run your own. The name server is like a phone book for websites. It says mydomain.com can be found at IP address 123.whatever. Until you have an entry in a name server 'phone book' you will not be able to access it through that domain name.
You'll also need to setup something on the webserver so it will know what to serve when it gets a request pointed to that domain, if you're using apache, likely it will be a virtual host entry in the appropriate config file.
