Inappropriate?Yes, with our Platinum-level plan, your wiki can be at mywiki.com or wiki.mycompany.com and so forth. After you sign up for Platinum:
Go to your "Settings" page.
Click on "Custom Domain" and enter the domain name you'll be using.
Read our DNS walkthrough (http://domaindemo.pbwiki.com) to learn how to enable it. -
Inappropriate?Two issues have arisen for me:
(1) My domain registrar requires two different nameservers for external hosting DNS info.
(2) Entering (mywikiname).pbwiki.com gets the following error message: "Error: This has not been registered as a nameserver with the .comnet registry. Contact the registrar of pbwiki.com to do so."
Advice?

I have this question too! What two nameservers should I use for my custom domain registration? PLEASE let me know. Thanks! -
Inappropriate?I love the idea of having a custom domain name for my wiki, and I'm willing o pay for it. BUT, pbwiki does a poor job of explaining how this is done. I tried the DNS walkthru above, but when I tried to reserve a new domain (e.g. wiki.{myname}.{com,net,whatever}) I got an error from at&t yahoo small business: "Sorry, we don't support the extension .{myname}. Please chose an extension from the pull-down menu, and try again." -
Inappropriate?Has their been any improvements in using an A record for custom dns with pbwiki?
As you may know, you can't enter a CNAME record for the root of a dns zone (for example, ccpact.com) and so we have the problem of maintaining a pbwiki IP in an A record in our DNS. As you mention in the domaindemo wiki, that IP can change from time to time, which can lead to downtime on our wiki.
Is there some sort of notification system I can subscribe to to be notified of these changes so we can avoid downtime? Or perhaps some other system you would recommend for being able to reliably have our domains point at our wiki?
Thanks much in advance.

Inappropriate?It seems that this "platinum plan" would be something I would have to pay for. While I probably can't afford it, it would be really great, helpful, and frankly common sense from your standpoint as a business to put some conspicuous links to it somewhere. (The Words Platinum Plan" should probably be some sort of link in the original reply. -
Inappropriate?I have a custom domain set up and it does redirect to my wiki, however, the URL changes to a pbwiki url as soon as the wiki page is rendered. This is not the behaviour I was expecting after reading the domaindemo wiki page.
