I want to list a few domains on there, but use services for them too (such as email etc) so don't want to chamge the nameservers. I noticed you can use CNAME's, but one of the CNAME's are listed as (blank), what does this mean?

Thanks in advance.

WWW is for the WWW subdomain
Blank is for the root domain (use an @, or leave it blank depending on the DNS manager)
* is for everything else

However if you are using mail etc, i'd be careful with the blank and the wild card as it may conflict with some other CNAME entries, so worth checking what else is there at your DNS.

Thanks Aaron, I'm familiar with DNS records, I just wasn't sure if (blank) meant root, as I can't really use a root CNAME, with a root A record in place.

I think you're right, I don't think it will work will it, with mail and stuff as well as the wildcard CNAME? Bummer.
