Dynamic website address

Hi,

you can't point an A record at a URL.

You would need to just have:

catalystevents.co.uk.	IN	A	205.214.89.240

And then the webserver admin would alias catalystevents.co.uk to the /~catevent directory on the server.

I don't know what you mean about a "Dynamic website address"
