How To Use Custom Dns Provider (Dns.he.net) With Heliohost?

[RX14]

Changing my domain name servers is a huge pain in the butt, and TBH I don't trust your name servers, my MX records are on that DNS and my current nameserver hasn't let me down in 1.5 years of service. I would like to add a simple A record to redirect traffic to the heliohost servers because I have had good service with you before.

 

I'll cut right to it: don't get me to change my nameservers, i'm not doing it.

Set your domain as your main domain using this script, then add an A record to the server's shared IP address (normally 216.218.192.170 for Stevie, 64.62.211.131 for Johnny).

 

Note though that if you need more than one domain on your account, we require you to use our nameservers.

Thanks, this works. Why the limitation on more than one domain?

[wolstech]

It is because your account can only have one main domain at a time. The ways of adding additional domains all require the nameservers be set first in order to add the domain.

 

I suppose if you really wanted though, you could change the nameservers, add the domains, then change back to whatever you were using and add A records.
