hello; i have set up my account to use my own domain (bclodge.co.uk) - instead of a subdomain (jeanmunro.x10hosting.com); i have set up the x10hosting name servers with my domain registrar; `ping' reveals that my requests are arriving at the x10hosting name servers; but then there seems to be a blockage, preventing me from seeing my home page in my browser; there was no trouble in seeing the page before i had set the url to my domain name; please help

Have you change the domain from ACP or park the domain in cpanel???

In ACP select x10hosting subdomain as your main domain. e.g jeanmunro.x10hosting.com

and park your domain in cpanel by clicking on park domain option..

This will work faster

they should work equally fast, in both cases it's a matter of changes to the dns records..

Changes to dns can take up to 48 hours to fully propagate.

I look up on your domains reveals the wrong name servers, they are set as ns.123-reg.co.uk and ns2.123-reg.co.uk, please double check with your registrar. If they are indeed set to ours it may simply be a matter of propagation time.

I saw that you have your main domain set to a .x10hosting.com sub domain, so I'll assume you decided to park it instead?

on boss' advice, i have restored the subdomain and parked my own;

i was aware of the 48-hours dns propagation time, which is why i was curious about the result of `ping bclodge.co.uk'; it was reaching the x10hosting name server, which suggests that i have set things up well; but then the name server is keeping hold of the request, rather than passing it on to the web server (or whatever is supposed to happen next);

as for the 123-reg name servers, they never caused a problem with my previous host; they pointed at the host's name servers and everything was sweet;

thanks for your responses so far; if you have any other ideas, please pass them on
Edit:
having been using the name server ip addresses given at http://support.x10hosting.com/index.php?_m=knowledgebase&_a=viewarticle&kbarticleid=2 until now, i have changed to using the name server dns names given on the same page; perhaps this will help, since the name server dns names no longer correspond to the same ip addresses

http://www.123-reg.co.uk/order?action=whois&page=whois&domain=bclodge.co.uk

Domain name:
bclodge.co.uk


Name servers:
ns.123-reg.co.uk
ns2.123-reg.co.uk

... here is the nslookup result for bclodge.co.uk from server ns.123-reg.co.uk, querytype=ANY :
DNS server handling your query: ns.123-reg.co.uk
DNS server's address: 212.67.202.2#53

Non-authoritative answer:
bclodge.co.uk canonical name = ns2.x10hosting.com.
bclodge.co.uk canonical name = ns1.x10hosting.com.

I think there are a couple of sources of your problem.

having seen descalzo use the `nslookup' tool and then tried it myself, i have managed to see my site using my domain name; i have now set my domain's name servers accordingly; i think the name servers of my previous host must have been configured to handle http requests, whereas these name servers have not;

thanks for all replies
