Using a custom domain name(hosting)
Custom domains let you host your GeniusWiki hosting with a URL like "www.mywebsite.com".
First, you'll need to buy a domain from a registrar like GoDaddy, pairNIC, Register, or iWantMyName. This usually costs $10-$40 per year. Then you'll need to follow the registrar's instructions to point the domain's A-record (IP address) to 184.73.186.40 Please note that you need to change your domain's or sub-domain's A Record, not its nameservers. And, you don't need to forward or redirect anything, you only need to change the A Record. You also need to login your GeniusWiki system admin panel, in General tab, enter your custom domain (ie. "mywebsite.com" ) and "Save". Once your custom domain is set up, users who visit your GeniusWiki URL will be automatically redirected to your new custom domain. For example, "geniuswiki.mywebsite.com"(sub-domain) or "mywebsite.com"(domain) will automatically redirect you to the hosted GeniusWiki home page. Please note, we are NOT able to support many of the issues that may crop up when setting up a domain name. This page is from http://www.geniuswiki.com/
