The control panel setup is shown below:

I haven't set up the mail server yet so can't test but I don't get anything useful sent to it anyway so not bothered if things get bounced in the meantime.
If I use:
https://www.whatsmydns.net/
To check things out vivente.co.uk gets a big fat x at all sites and the CNAME lookup for www.vivente.co.uk points to ghs.google.com
So clearly I've done something wrong. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

How long ago did you make the change? I know it can take a while for the PN DNS settings to update (and then 4 hours for the DNS to propagate based on the TTL from PN DNS Servers)

I've really just taken everything as back to as simple as I can think to make it ie A record to route the domain to my static ip and I've used a cname to route anybody using www to my domain name which then should go to my static ip address.
I got reply from the helpdesk advising me to set up MX records for my mail server however from what I've read by choosing the SMTP option the MX are automatically configured and thus I shouldn't be doing that. I did however try it out at one stage and that didn't seem to sort so I removed it again. I would only do this if I was wanting to route to a non plusnet ip address such as when it was hosted on google apps. I'm still receiving mail through google apps so the SMTP
Here's the latest config:

I haven't touched it I think in at least 48 hours so the config as shown so it should have done it's magic round the root servers however it still stuck. If you wouldn't mind taking a look at this again for me when you are back in. I've enabled notifications now
