将.tk域指向一个域名

Question

I am hosting my website on a servce (open shift, heroku, ect) that doesn't give you a static ip. How do I point my free .tk domain to it. I set up my web site service to accept it, however, .tk domains only allow you to point to a static ip, not domain name. It has a custom dns service but am not sure how to do this. Could you please give a quick explanation. If I need a dns, please tell if there are any free service will fit the bill. Thanks for all the help.

Answer 1

@siamii, I did it with a cname. After creating your .tk domain, go to the domain panel and click modify domain. On the list of options using the mydottk free domain service (The default option) add a new cname. The cname should be structered as, Host domain www.[YourDomainHere].tk and Ip Address: [your heroku web site address]. Now go to your app on heroku.com and go to domain settings on your app's settings page. Add your www.[YourDomainHere].tk to that setting and you should be good to go.

Note: You cannot point a top level( [YourDomainHere].tk) domain to heroku with the mydottk free domain service. The primary way you do this is to redirect from [YourDomainHere].tk to www.[YourDomainHere].tk but the free domain service cannot do that.

cname is the way to go; see our blog on how this can be done.
