Not sure what the IP address of your server is on BH, you need to ask them. TO change the CNAME through Bluehost, you need to call them and askl them to do it, if you registered your domain name on register.com, youshould have some sort of control panel in your personal account where you can change the DNS stuff.

I'm using Bluehost to do this stuff, and having no end to the troubles. A couple of questions: Do we want to have a wildcard domain set up on Bluehost? What is the IP address of my bluehost server? Where do I change the CNAME, on bluehost or the registrar site (register.com)? Thanks in advance! This is great stuff! Rob Hey there!

I’m using Bluehost to do this stuff, and having no end to the troubles. A couple of questions:

Do we want to have a wildcard domain set up on Bluehost?

What is the IP address of my bluehost server?

Where do I change the CNAME, on bluehost or the registrar site  register.com)?

Thanks in advance! This is great stuff!

Rob

You have to create the mapped domain from within the sub-blog you want to map, or it'll screw you up. Pretty obvious - but it stunned me for an hour or two!

I think you are on a roll with all these posts and ideas. Thanks. I could create an addon domain for the mapped domain but I could not point it to the directory with the WPMu installation. I then asked Hostgator to help me and they changed my Cpanel. And it now looks like yours. In no time was I able to map a domain. Have fun Johan Hi Jim
Great post.

In no time was I able to map a domain.

Very. Very. Cool. I can almost hear the sucking sound of the entire internet re-mapping itself to umwblogs. Who needs Skynet when you have umwblogs? Great work Jim on the post write-up and for keeping umwblogs on the cutting edge. Let's just hope it doesn't become self-aware. Very. Very. Very. Cool.

Great work Jim on the post write-up and for keeping umwblogs on the cutting edge. Let’s just hope it doesn’t become self-aware.

I personally kinda like having remote publishing so I can write drafts using the native WordPress app for the iPhone. Reverend,

That was a huge bonus and something I have taken advantage of on several occasions. So thank you for all your awesome work. I don't see one as ruing out the other, I will still be using both. Moreover, I didn't see the loss of remote publishing as a deal breaker with your hack, it has worked beautifully for me. Richard,
