Domain name not working properly
Hi, I followed the instructuions below, but I've got a problem. When I type in my domain name I get the first page of my forum, but when I try to log in or look at the forum as a guest it refresh with the error message;
"Can't find web site "xxxx.x10hosting.com"
Why does it do this? It seems to be looking for the rest of my "pages/forum" on my x10hosting site?????
What I used to link my domain name to my x10hosting domain
OK, most of you know DNS pretty good. But I see a lot of "DNS?" in the support requests. It's very simple.
Step 1-Find a domain
I am just going to brief.
You can get free DNS-enhanced domains from co.cc.
If you see a "premium domain for free" listing on google, forget it.
They are a waste of time.
For a good premium domain, go to Google and search for "domain Provider"
I can't post any names because most of them are webhosts.
Step 2-x10hosting
Register your domain, then go into the x10hosting account panel. NOT cPanel!
Go down to account details, and check "check if using your own domain".
Type in your domain in without "www" or "http://".
Step 3-Nameservers
Go to your domain provider, and log in. (DUH!) Find the DNS setup, or Nameservers.
Set NS1 or NameServer 1 to "ns1.x10hosting.com".
Set NS2 or NameServer 2 to "ns2.x10hosting.com".
This may take up to 48 hours to update.
You're done!
