Filezilla problems

[tawnylewis]

I can not connect using filezilla. What am I doing wrong. Pleas let me know what to put in all fields to make it work. Waiting to retry...
Status: Resolving address of ftp.tawnylewis.com
Status: Connection attempt failed with "EAI_NONAME - Neither nodename nor servname provided, or not known".

Easy solution: tawnylewis.com has not been registered. To use a .com domain you have to buy it from somewhere and set the nameservers to ns1.x10hosting.com and ns2.x10hosting.com, then park it in cpanel or change your main domain to match that address.

That's the problem though - no one's bought that domain, so you can't connect to ftp because the domain doesn't actually exist or point anywhere.

Thank you very much for your help. This has proven to be more difficult than actually building the site. So when I signed up for an account with x10hosting.com and picked out the domain name "for free" it wasn’t really giving me the name? I am so sorry but I am confused and frustrated. I have been troubleshooting this for a few days.

I just bought the domain, so I’m beginning to understand. Thank you so much for you help Hun.
