    Okay. When I did that before, it broke everything, but that was also when I just had my domain being forwarded with no A record. I shall try it now.

    …

    You, sir, are brilliant. It worked. My issue must have been the forwarding with no A record.

    Thanks.

    That’s okay. (: The analogy I’m going to use probably doesn’t belong here either.

    If I’m understanding what you’re saying correctly, an A record is like a variable.

    x=10

    And a CNAME record is something that you assign the variable to.

    y=x
z=x

    And the reason for using them is so you can change the value of y and z easily by changing one x value instead of all the y and z values individually.

    Is that anywhere remotely close?

    All that explanation aside, creating an A record to point to my IP didn’t quite fix the problem. I still have the issue of my IP showing in the URL bar when anyone tries to use the backend. If you want to see what I’m saying, you can visit here. Which is the front end, and masked by my domain name. But when you click the Login link, my IP is displaed instead of my domain name. This is what I want to fix.

    Thank you so much for taking your time to help me with this and explain those records.

    My apologies, I do have a static IP address, so that isn’t the issue in this case. I should’ve mentioned that in the OP.

    I’ll try just creating an A record , wait for everything to propagate and report back.

    Would you mind explaining the difference between an A record and a CNAME record? Because it looks like the difference is that one is for IP addresses only, and one is for URLs only.

    Thanks for your help.

    I did forward port 80 and 443 to the server that is hosting WP. What do you mean “In your WordPress set it up with the name you want to use in the team3465.org domain.”? I’m not sure I understand this.

    I don’t see the point of using dyn.com or no-ip.com or any of those similar sites unless I’m missing something.

    Thanks.
