Do not want main domain active

Discussion in 'DNS/Domain names' started by Janet Barbeau, Apr 26, 2015.

  1. I have setup the site and tested under the second domain - I did not realize that the main domain will work too. I don't want this to be active until I have finished testing and am ready to deploy as production.

    How do I do this?

    Thank you!

    I wouldn't recommend doing this but you could delete the A records within the DNS Manager.

    First make a copy of what A records your site uses.

    Then delete them. That way your domain name doesn't point to any web server.

    When you're ready to point the domain name back to the web server. Go ahead and recreate them.

    To get to the DNS Manager for the domain name. Log int the control panel. Click on the "Domains" tab at the top and click on "Manage" under DNS next to the domain name.
