    MX Records, email questions

    My name server settings with godaddy point to ns1 and ns2.x10hosting.com. My site comes up, I'm assuming the default cpanel settings for the rest will allow me to receive email, but its not working. Cpanel shows the following under advanced dns: computerfabricators.com. 14400 IN A 198.91.80.2...

    MX Records, email questions

    I have a paid host account with x10(infinity). What x10hosting domain do I point my MX records to so I can use their mail server?

    MX Records, email questions

    I need to know how to setup mail with my hosting plan. I have the 'infinity' service. i've heard some people have blacklisting issues, is this still the case or is it a common problem with this service? I read something about google aps for mail http://x10hosting.com/wiki/Setting_up_Google_Apps...

    Setting name servers for hosting account

    I guess its still propagating. I have it set with A record in 'named' service config. If i put it in the Cname, isn't that technically a redirect?

    Setting name servers for hosting account

    i resolved part of the issue. I am now able to see my server if I omit the www. Trying to figure out why it will only load without www. Any ideas anyone?

    Setting name servers for hosting account

    cool deal, it was flopping around a lot between the two for me, but hopefully it just needed time to stabilize or whatever... Let me ask another question. I got a fresh domain, kicknchicken.net and pointed it to my vps using ns1.kicknchicken.net and ns2. I set the ip in my goddady host name...

    Setting name servers for hosting account

    I tried to explain it the best I could. I know it takes a bit for propogation which is exactly why I want to be clear on how to set this up. So i'm not waiting the max 48 hours to find something isnt right. Basically I have two services now with x10. I have a vps service which I am using to...

    Setting name servers for hosting account

    I have an x10hosting account i need to verify everything is correct with name servers, dns all that stuff. When I first set up the service it asked if I wanted to use a domain I already own, which i did, but it seems like it pulled the name servers from record, which were not correct. I need to...

    Help with FTP/HTTP folders and basic setup

    I did a fresh install on my vps a few days ago. Installed centos5x64. Followed this tutorial on installing LAMP through ssh. Set up bind using the next tutorial successfully with my domain name. I am now seeing the default page. So all is good so far... Unfortunately the tutorials kinda stopped...

    vps setup questions

    Thank you, I should have realized that webmin was looking for .conf file in /etc/ folder but that isn't necessarily where vps may have defaulted it too... It was actually in /etc/vsftpd/vsftpd.conf So I just told webmin where to find it and it was happy. Thanks everyone for the help, so far...

    vps setup questions

    Thanks, the only thing that eludes me, maybe I don't understand exactly how it works, is the ftp. If I have site A pointed to public_html/siteA/ and Site B pointed to public_html/siteB/ how can I create ftp users to loginto those locations? I see appache is running in my services for webmin, but...

    Domain registrars

    I usually use godaddy to register all my domains, but I'm really getting sick of all the hoops and hurtles you have to crawl through to renew and register. I would like to find an equivalent service that is less ad crazy. Something down to earth, quick, simple, and just does one thing...
