Edit: Ok I think maybe my account does not have a function to change the primary domain.. Is this true?? I have the free hosting with out adds. If this is the case what do I need to upgrade to and with the add sites are the banners vertical or horizontal??

Ok I did search the forums but I'm still alittle confused here.

I have a domain name registered at Bluehost.com and I was using Awardspace's free hosting and they let me use my own Domain name so when I uploaded my files and everything it showed as my domain name ( furnaps.com ) and I didnt have to do anything with parked or ad on domains that I know of ( Unless it didnt mention it ) all I did was add my Domain name into a box and update my nameservers and it used my domain name.

My question Is How do I do that here?? I tried using the parked domain thing and changing my nameservers but I think it takes 48 hours to update if that is what I was supposed to do... And I added phpbb to my own domain with the control panel instead of furnaps.exofire.net.... Im not sure if this is what I wanted to do or not I want furnaps.com My domain to be my main domain.

I basically just want to use my domain name and host my site here without using any subdomains or anything..

So is that was I was supposed to do?? and if not what am I supposed to do? Is there an option I overlooked on the Cp or something??

I really dont understand parked domains or what they are.. I just know when I was using award space I could use my own Domain name and upload everything to furnaps.com...Thats the only thing I liked about that place because I keept getting 404 errors there. So I hope I can figure thins out I really like your service so far and If I can do what I am hoping to do I would say you guys are the best for sure from what I see.

Thanks.

Yes, you can use your own domain with x10hosting.
First point your domain to x10hosting nameservers: ns1.x10hosting.com & ns2.x10hosting.com
Make sure you have removed the domain from Parked or Addon domains and go to: http://x10hosting.com/account , and you'll be able to change your main domain there. Make sure you put it WITHOUT the "www.".

Let us know if you were able to change it or if you had any problem.
