If you have just purchased a new domain through our new control panel system and need to point it to your existing hosting package (using Direct Admin or Helm) then you can do this in http://cp.blacknight.com under:
Websites > domain.tld> Web > Remove Hosting
and then to actually point the domain to the old package:
Websites > domain.tld > DNS > DNS Records
Where domain.tld is your own domain name
You will need to add or edit the records so they look as follows:
# A record for www.domain.tld pointing to $IPADDRESS
# A record for domain.tld pointing to $IPADDRESS
# A record for mail.domain.tld pointing to $IPADDRESS
# MX record for domain.tld pointing to mail.domain.tld (leave Mail Domain field blank, put mail.domain.tld into Mail Exchanger field)
An IP address looks like: 123.123.123.123. You can find the IP address as follows:
Direct Admin:
Under Site Summary / Statistics / Logs beside "IP"
Helm:
Under Domains >> domainname.tld >> Web Site Settings
The mail IP address for accounts in Helm will always be 81.17.248.21, you need to set the mail. A record above to this IP address and the other records to the IP address under Web Site Settings
