cl58 Posted July 26, 2011 Share Posted July 26, 2011 You should switch your nameservers to HelioHost. You can create CNAME and MX records for Google Apps. You can then choose what (sub)domain you want to point to Yola using an A record pointing to their IP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piotr GRD Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 Everything should work properly even if you use external nameservers as long as you'll create a proper "A" or "CNAME" record for the selected subdomain on these nameservers. It can be either the "A" record pointed to the same IP as the records for your root domain and www subdomain or "CNAME" pointed to your root domain name or any other domain/subdomain that is pointed to the same IP on HelioHost. The choice is yours. I would choose more reliable nameservers. I don't know anything at all about reliability of Yola nameservers, but ns1.heliohost.org works well while ns2.heliohost.org not so well.
