Step 2

Purchasing A Domain Name for your Quick Podcast Account

Go to www.1stonramp.com and purchase a domain name for your podcast account.

If you already have a domain, you may just want to set up a subdomain. A subdomain would replace the www in your website name with a word like 'feed' or 'podcast'.

You will create your subdomain on your web host. You can call your Hosting Provider for that. If you don't have a Hosting Provider, then go purchase a domain from us at www.1stonramp.com.

Step 3 - Pointing the Domain to the Quick Podcast Server

On the right side of the screen, hit the + sign next to Total DNS Control.Then select Total DNS Control and MX Records. Then select Launch Total DNS Control Manager. A new window will open.

At the top of that screen, you will see the A(Host) record. Edit that record and change it to '208.109.80.14'. Once you have edited and saved it, you are done. It may take up to 24 hours for any dns changes to work.

If you have your domain set up on a different server, simply ask your hosting provider to add your sub domain 'feed' or 'podcast' and add an A record to your DNS that points to '208.109.80.14'. Once you have edited and saved it, you are done. It may take up to 24 hours for any dns changes to work.
