Hi,
I have created a server with a static IP and my .co.uk domain is currently hosted by plusnet.
Could some one state what the settings need to be in the DNS as there is no real example.
I was thinking this
left field type Pri Right field
www.abc.co.uk A 123.123.123.101
I don't want it to handle any of my email just host the webite.
Thanks Matt

Have you changed the Domain Hosting setting to "Other" so you can add your own DNS settings?
With that changed I think you need the following DNS settings
Left field Type Right field abc.co.uk. A 123.123.123.101 www CNAME abc.co.uk.
Note that you need full stops after the fully qualified domain names in the left and right fields but *not* after the www,
This will mean that HTTP requests to both abc.co.uk and www.abc.co.uk are directed to your static IP.
