New Domain Name Question

[Lkbrown811]

Hey all,

So I'm quite new to this and have a very quick, very simple question about directing my godaddy domain name to my snappages site.

I've read that all I have to do is point my DNS A-Records to Snappages IP (and then change my snappages settings to recognize my domain name).

My question: How will the address bar look for my visitors when they move from page to page? When they go to "About Me", will the address read
"www.randompage.com/about_me" or will it stay static on "www.randompage.com" ?

Also, I currently have my site on a godaddy blog....I need to make sure the sit doesn't go down (for even a few hours) during the transfer. Any tips, tricks, or info as to making the transfer more seamless?

Thanks all,
Luke

Gohere for an example of a domaion that's been properly pointed to Snappages:

Not a lot you can do about the transfer but it should be a pretty instantaneous switch-over. At least in my experience there has never been any down time.

Thanks Glenn,

All you did was point your A-list to snappages ip?

Thanks,
Luke

Yes, I followed the directions on snappages.com. Changed the DNS A-Records as instructed and then went into my snappages control panel to let it know which domain I was pointing to my site (an important step). It switched over within 2 hours for me, with no downtime.

What exactly means: point DNS A-record to IP address?
I have DNS A-record for my domain, but I'm not sure what to do.
