How to host your private domain website?

You must own a domain name to use this feature. Please log on domain management page of the company where you purchased your domain. E.g. if you purchase a hosting account from Register.com, you will need to point your domain name's IP settings (A Record) to 69.220.9.55.

If your domain name is currently registered with Register.com and if you use Register.com's Domain Name System Servers (DNS Servers), then you can modify this information online by signing into Account Manager, and selecting the domain name you wish to make the changes to from the main menu.

Click on the link “ Edit IP Address (A Record)” from the ADVANCED TECHNICAL SETTINGS menu. This will open a page on which there will be an editable list of all of the IP Addresses (A Records) associated with the domain name, shown as below:


                        Add a hostname in Domain management page of Register.com

To host you private domain website, you need to add an A-Record of 'www" that resolves to 66.220.9.55. After you may make the necessary changes, click Continue to apply them. Click Continue again to confirm the changes. Pleast note it takes about 24hours for a DNS name to be updated on the Internet.

Once this is done correctly, open a command window and type in : ping www.YourDomain.com. If the return result is like:
Pinging www.YourDomain.com[66.220.9.55] with 32bytes of data
Request timed out.
Request timed out.
Request timed out.
Request timed out.

Then it has been setup correctly.

Once you successfully point your domain name's IP settings (A Record) to 69.220.9.55, you should go back to the page of DriveHQ全球云 website configuration, shown as below:

Type in your web domain name in Web Domain Name. This way, your website can be accessed with your customized URL. E.g. if your domain name is whitehouse.gov. then assume your web DNS name is www.whitehouse.gov, then your website can be accessed with:" http://www.whitehouse.gov/ ". Once you finished the process above, Click on Save.

Why is there an account type limit on websites?

While "Publish Website" is a free feature, you must be a "True Member" to publish. We understand this is inconvenient, but we must make sure that any user who publishes contents is Real and Responsible user.
