How do I setup / modify my Bottle Direct service?
 - Log in to your Domain Management area at www.bottledomains.com.au/manage.
- Select the domain you wish to update from the drop down menu (if you only have one it will already be selected).
- Click the Edit Domain Info button.
- Click Bottle Direct.
- Click Click here to add/edit Mail Forwarding or Click here to add/edit Web Forwarding (you may be prompted to enter your username and password again).
--- Mail Forwarding --- Please select 'MailForward' and enter the email address you would like, and the address you wish it to be forwarded to (eg user@yourdomain forwarding to user@bigpond.com).
You may enter as many new accounts as you wish, and they may forward to the same or different address.
To set up a catch-all account setup the account *@yourdomain.
--- Web Forwarding and Subdomains ---
To forward your domain to an external URL, please click on 'WebForward', this will prompt you to enter the URL you would like your domain forwarded to (eg www.yourdomain forwarding to http://www.bigpond.com/members/~username).
For sub domains, please follow the same steps, however this time put the sub domain you're after in the first field.
--- IP Forwarding ---
You can use an IP address (A) record instead of a Web Forward if you are running your own web server, and can configure it to respond to the domain names "yourdomain" and "www.yourdomain", or you have hired an ISP to host your web site, and their web server is configured to respond to "yourdomain" and "www.yourdomain".
If you do not have this level of control over the web server (if you got a free web site from your ISP, then this would apply to you) then you must use a Web Forward. Adding a Web Forward will allow you to specify the exact URL you want your visitors to see when they visit "yourdomain" or "www.yourdomain".
