Hi Zach,

Thanks for getting in touch, it is great to hear from you. Is it safe to assume you are referring to the domain: metaldevastationradio.com?

To point your domain to a new provider, it will be necessary to make DNS changes. I am not familiar with Jamroom nor am I familiar with linode. I did find information on Jamroom tutorials here, where they explain changing the IP addresses for pointing external domains to Jamroom; however, they do not detail what the Jamroom IP address is. (They use a basic 111.11.1111 as an example).

If you can ask their support team for specific details on their IP address and/or name servers, we will be able to assist you with adjusting the DNS settings. Thanks, Zach. I look forward to hearing from you further. Take care!

ok nevermind i feel silly now, i read the documentation and followed the instructions and now it works ....but it leads me to another problem, after i login to my jamroom site the url changes to show jamroomhosting.com at the tail end of my domain name how do i remove this ?

well nevermind it worked great for a while then back to 404 again, then i have to revert to make the jamroomhosting name active again or else i cant get back in but if i leave it like that for a while the other links start bringing me to the site but after about 10 minutes on my own domain being active it goes back to 404 so it is down now no idea what is going on or what to do ?
