AI Thread Summary
To redirect the domain www.utoe.org purchased through web.com to the desired hosting site, it's essential to access the DNS management features provided by web.com. Users may need to check if they have the authority to manage the domain settings, as the domain is currently registered to an IP range owned by SBC Internet Services. If direct management isn't available, a domain transfer request to ICANN may be necessary, but this typically requires web.com to authorize the transfer. The discussion emphasizes the importance of confirming that web.com offers complete DNS management, which should allow for URL forwarding and other configurations. Users are advised to consult web.com's support for specific guidance on setting up DNS records.

At any point during registration or configuration did you notice a field to enter an IP address to set as the domain authority?

If not, you'll probably have to request a domain transfer from ICANN, and you'll receive an email authorizing the transfer of the domain to your desired IP.

Right now the domain is registered to an IP in a range owned by SBC Internet Services.

What I'm worried is that you paid for a website hosting, and not a domain through a real DNS registar.

Edit: After reading web.com's front page, it appears they offer `Complete DNS Management'. So, the ability does exist. I can't provide any direct support because I'm not familiar with web.com

Well, if you don't have authority of the domain and web.com does, they'll email web.com instead of you. Regardless, read my edit in the previous post.
 
As you can see web.com does have authority. Their `DNS management' will probably allow to you set up some fowards, subdomains, and mail exchangers; regardless, you do not have authority over it yourself.

Authoritative answers can be found from:
vsurf.com
origin = Ns5.web.com
mail addr = webmaster.vsurf.com
serial = 1093896563
refresh = 10800
retry = 3600
expire = 604800
minimum = 86400
 
You need to go on your host and put ur DNS info, no?

Thread 'Urgent: Physically repair - or bypass - power button on Asus laptop'

Asus Vivobook S14 flip. The power button is wrecked. Unable to turn it on AT ALL. We can get into how and why it got wrecked later, but suffice to say a kitchen knife was involved: These buttons do want to NOT come off, not like other lappies, where they can snap in and out. And they sure don't go back on. So, in the absence of a longer-term solution that might involve a replacement, is there any way I can activate the power button, like with a paperclip or wire or something? It looks...
