	So you've decided that '''www.redbrick.dcu.ie/~user''' isn't enough for you and so you go and buy your own domain, '''www.mydomain.com''' from one of the many registrars out there on the web. But how do you get '''www.mydomain.com''' to point to ~~what's on~~ redbrick website?

	1. You should be able to configure your domain using a control panel on the registrar's website. You're looking to add either an "a" record or a "cname" record. You need to set the domain to resolve to '''vhost.redbrick.dcu.ie''' or '''136.206.15.61''' . That will make all traffic to it come to the redbrick webserver.		1.
