Domain and hosting at different places

My domain was bought at Dynadot but my Vanilla forum is hosted at Netfirms.

Google is indexing my pages using the root path to my forum: mysite.sslpowered.com/bhangratune/

I would like it to index the pages under the actual domain, which is bhangratune.com. How can I accomplish this?

Thanks

You'll need to start using Name Servers for your domain.

See if your Netfirms hosting account will allow you to add another domain to your plan. If so, go ahead and do that, then log into your Dynadot account and change your Name Servers to point to Netfirms:

How do I set my name servers for my domain?

To set your name servers, please follow these steps:

Sign in to your Dynadot account.
Select "My Domains" from the left-side menu bar and click "Manage Domains" in the drop-down.
Check the box next to your domain name(s) and click on the "Action" button.
Choose "DNS Settings" from the "Action" list.
On the DNS page, select the "Name Servers" setting from the top drop-down menu.
There are two ways to set name servers:
- If you are adding new name servers, select "Enter new or existing Name Servers" from your list of choices and enter your new name servers in the provided fields.
- If you are using existing name servers, move down to the "Select from your Name Servers" option and choose the name servers from your existing list.
Press the "Save Name Server" button to save your changes.

Please be aware that it might take some time for your name server changes to propagate.

Alternatively, you can also set your Name Servers when transferring your domain. To do so, while your item is in the cart, please click on the hardware icon. It will prompt you through a short two step wizard and guide you through the set up process.
