Hello,

To use your own domain, either add it as a Parked or Addon Domain in your cPanel.

Use a Parked Domain if you want to access your main website via another name, or
Use an Addon Domain if you want to have a second website accessible via that name

Please be sure the domain's nameservers are set as followed:
ns1.x10hosting.com
ns2.x10hosting.com

*We do not support changing your account's main domain.*

For more information, please see http://x10hosting.com/wiki/How_to_Use_Your_Own_Domain

You can also us an x10.mx or x10.bz, etc, domain as a parked or add-on domain. You do not have to go out and buy your own.

1. If you have a problem, you should start your own thread

2. I do not see any Free Hosting account linked to this Forum account. You should post using the forum account that actually own the hosting account.

Ok. I can see your main domain name now, but not the parked domain? What is the parked domain?

Never mind. I figured the name out. Will be back.

Go to cPanel --> FileManager ( or use your favorite FTP client )

find .htaccess file in public_html

see if you can find the redirect or post the contents here.

Try going to the Dolphin (if that is the script you are using) admin area. There should be somewhere to put the "site URL". Change that to your new domain name.

first of all thank you for your help. i think this is not what i want to...my problem is why my own domain "www.btechlife.com" is not showing in address bar of browser instead of "lipak.x10.mx" ??

--> www.btechlife.com is now PARKED DOMAIN in cpanel.

-->i already clear my browser cache and flush DNS.

--> still the main domain "lipak.x10.mx" is showing in the address bar when i am trying to go my own domain "btechlife.com"

Hello,

The domain set in your parked domains section is not redirecting to any other URLs and does appear to be displaying the same website as your main domain (Except with mydomain.com in the URL bar instead of mydomain.x10.mx)
