Hi,

To add your own domain name, you will need to point it to our nameservers. Our nameservers are:
ns1.x10hosting.com
ns2.x10hosting.com

You can then add the domain as a "parked" or "addon" domain in cPanel. ;)

Thank you,

Hi,

Thanks for your response.

As you said, I pointed the domain name to the above nameservers. But, I get this error message when I try to add the domain as parked or addon in cpanel.

Sorry, the domain is already pointed to an IP address that does not appear to use DNS servers associated with this server. Please transfer the domain to this servers nameservers or have your administrator add one of its nameservers to /etc/ips.remotedns and make the proper A entries on that remote nameserver.

Can you give more information on this?

The domain I'm trying to add mynewsfeed.16mb.com
at URL [ http://16mb.com/ ] - I 'see' what could be a issue for you (I.E. domain [ 16mb.com ] is not yours)

"...is the biggest free hosting provider on web and we use domain 16mb.com for our clients websites."

BTW - I have a sub-domain of [ 16mb.com ]

I believe the closest thing you can do is a redirect to X10. I mean the normal domain doesn't even belong here as @bdistler said.

EDIT 1: I took a bit of thought a remembered that someone hooked up tumblr with their sub-domain, so I did a simple Google search and I've found a load of results like https://css-tricks.com/put-a-subdomain-on-a-different-server/. I guess things can certainly become unexpected.


To answer your question, you can either do a nslookup for your site, a whois lookup, or execute $_SERVER['SERVER_ADDR'].


EDIT 2: I've followed what the guide says for the heck of it (though for the domain being used it isn't on GoDaddy). Instead of creating a new DNS file for the sub-domain (as there wasn't such option), I ended up creating A records to the www. and non-www. sub-domains. After attempting to add that sub-domain, I ended up with the exact same error message as you.

when that other host finds a 'hard' redirect - they look at the IP your sub-domain loads with a script - you account (with them) will be deleted

Oh no. Not that type of redirect. I mean a domain one.
