I have no idea what I am supposed to do with this.

I have entered into an agreement with HIBU (Yellow Book) for them to set up a web site for me. They are asking me to do something and I have no idea what it is I'm supposed to do.

Here's the e-mail they sent:

=========================
Repoint your domain by updating the domain settings below:


A Record:
yourdomain.com [root] 205.147.88.159

CNAME:
www.yourdomain.com[www] live.websites.hibu.com
=========================

What does this mean?

Hello Alex,

If FutureQuest manages the DNS for the domain in question (using the FutureQuest Name Servers) then you would access your CNC DNS Manager.

You would use the Add button and in the first field "Entry" type in www then select CNAME for Type and then In the Address/Label field, type in live.websites.hibu.com

Then you need to send an email to the Service Desk from the primary email address listed for your account requesting that we "Update the A record for (domain) to 205.147.88.159"
Service@FutureQuest.net
