Unless it is specifically asking for an IP address, put in the ns988.dizinc.com

josie,

I think you are looking at the wrong set of DNS settings. You do not want the DNS section of your control panel at Surpass, you want the control panel of your domain at 123-reg.co.uk.

There you will find a section for changing nameservers for your domain. In that section you will enter the corresponding ns988.dizinc.com and the other one from your welcome e-mail.

You should not be seeing A records CNAME. Those are server settings that were automatically configured when your account was set up and need no further modifications.

Aha. I found it. TOTALLY UNCLEAR. I guess they assume if you've got a website you know what you're doing. They could not be more wrong (about me).

Yeah thanks everyone. Kayla it's an awesome episode isn't it?

More questions...

What is 'the IP address of the server to use at the FTP address' ? I've got an FTP app, but it's not allowing me to connect. The only thing I could be entering incorrectly is the IP address.

The IP would be the same as what you received in your welcome email

you can also use ftp.domain.com

the IP address of my site? Cos that's not working. Could it be because I only changed my DNS to point to my site this morning?

I've tried every IP address I can find. Nothing works. It seems to work and then something goes wrong. Here's a screenshot:

Try toggling passive FTP and see if it works
