Pointing My Domain To My X10Hosting Page...

Hey! First of all, a major hats off to X10Hosting for a great free hosting solution. You're the good guys for sure.

Second of all I just registered a domain name with http://www.names.co.uk for the first time and am having trouble maneuvering the options to point my domain name (www.mydomain.com) to my X10Hosting page (myusername.x10hosting.com).

I've changed primary nameserver to ns1.x10hosting.com and secondary nameserver to ns2.x10hosting.com in my domain name's control panel, and in my x10Hosting cPanel's Parked Domain settings I've set Domain to "mydomain.com" and Redirects To to "http://myusername.x10hosting.com".
However, visiting www.mydomain.com takes me to a "Default Web Site Page" rather than my X10Hosting page. Anyone know where I've gone wrong or what I've missed out...?

Thanks!

The domain senzafineuk.com is giving me Server not found error.Also nameserver seems to be different(ns0.phase8.net and not ns1.x10hosting.com)
If you set the nameserver just now then the nameserver propagation may take upto 24-48 hrs

Hmm... That's odd, because going to www.mydomain.com redirects me to www.mydomain.com/cgi-sys/defaultwebpage.cgi (even after flushing DNS). Regardless, it hasn't been 24 hours since I set the nameserver yet so I'll wait it out in case that's my problem.

Should I also have to change my DNS Settings at any point? Attached are the default DNS Settings for my server, which I haven't yet modified or anything. Note that the top "A"-type record, with a blank name, points to an IP number. The two at the bottom are just blank. Should I add a "www"?

I just ping senzafineuk.com and still its showing some other IP . Are you sure that you had pointed nameservers to ns1.x10hosting.com and ns2.x10hosting.com

 

[loosecannonjc]

Absolutely positive! It hasn't been 24 hours yet, though.

Like I said earlier, in my DNS settings (which I attached a screenshot of earlier) the first "A"-type record points to an IP address - do I need to change this?

mydomain.com now works PERFECTLY, but www.mydomain.com is still redirecting to www.mydomain.com/cgi-sys/defaultwebpage.cgi which doesn't work - anyone have any ideas what I need to do to get "www." to work?

EDIT: Never mind, I just had to add a DNS setting for host name "www." pointing to "ns1.x10hosting.com". That seems to have done the trick. Now to figure out my webmail...!
