Utter newbie with DNS

Hi guys,

I am meekly asking for help. Yep, it's a stupid newbie question but hey, we all start somewhere.

Thanks if you've read this far. Problem is that I can't seem to link my URL to my hosted files.

Background info:

- I have developed a website for a friend. The website works, has index.html etc

- He bought thesoulsavers.com from URL

- He bought 100Mb of hosting space from URL

- I uploaded the website files to the FTP details I was sent by the hosting company

- I then changed the Nameserver settings (about a week ago) of the URL. I went into the admin part of URL and entered the details as sent to me by pipemedia:

ns0.pipemedia.net - 217.31.128.9
ns1.pipemedia.net - 194.207.89.4

The URL stopped pointing to the temp hosting page a few days ago but now gives a "cannot find server" page.

Can someone please tell me what I've done wrong or missed.

Only thing I haven't touched is the admin section of pipemedia (hosting). They have a DNS section which allows me to add a record (A-record, C-Name or MX-something). When I select A-Record it asks for an IP address but I don't know what I need to put here.

I also have these details from the hosting company:

Mailhost: mailhost1.pipemedia.net

I have *no* idea what to do with these I obviously want to be able to get emails sent to URL but don't know how.

Many thanks in advance to anyone who reads this and/or answers - I'm sure you all have better things to do

Add an 'A' record for "thesoulsavers.com" and "www.thesoulsavers.com". Use the same IP as you did to access the FTP server.

Thanks very much SilentRage.

The FTP details I was given was for webhost6.pipemedia.net - I pinged this and used the IP I got back.

I will give it some time to update and report back.

Thanks again for helping a novice.
