Configuring Joker.com to use your custom hostname

Step 1: Sign up for an account and register a domain at Joker.com, if you haven't already.

Step 2: Go to their Servicezone. It's where you'll edit all your account settings.


Step 3: Click the icon to modify the DNS settings.

 
Step 4: Click the beside the www.yourdomain.com to delete the existing www record.

 
Step 5: Click the Delete button to delete the existing record.

 

Step 6: You will be taken back to the screen before.  This time click the  button to edit the yourdomain.com without the www.

Leave the [empty] alone and add the SmugMug IP address 208.79.45.23 to the IP Address field.  Click Save.

Step 7:  In the Record Type: selector choose CNAME-Record (alias).  Then click Add.


Step 8:  In the (Sub-)Domain: field enter "www".  Then enter "domains.smugmug.com into the Alias: field. Then click Save.


Step 9:  This is what your screen should now look like.  Click the Save button to save your changes.


 

Step 10: Type the entire domain name you're forwarding into the space provided by SmugMug in your control panel (ignore the guest password field; it's for something else).


Gotcha: They must be all lower-case or it won't work.

Don't add http:// or any / marks. Just type www.yourdomain.com (or photos.yourdomain.com, for example, if you set it up that way).

Step 8: Be patient. It takes 24-48 hours for DNS changes to take effect.
