[Solved] How can I point my domain to Heliohost.org?

Hi, I've setup hosting at Heliohost.org and I want my domain to point to the new place :D

 

My domain registrar is Godaddy. I've change the name servers and deleted the zone file for my old IP address.

 

How can I make http://handmadebyerika.com/ point to the http://handmadebyerika.heliohost.org/ server, yet still look like http://handmadebyerika.com/ ? Sorry for being confusing but basically my cPanel at Heliohost.org says my main domain is http://handmadebyerika.heliohost.org/ . I really need my main domain to be http://handmadebyerika.com/ , and then I need the GoDaddy domain to point here? I don't know I'm really confused :(

 

If I could somehow get an IP address for http://handmadebyerika.heliohost.org/ then I could just point http://handmadebyerika.com/ to that IP address using my zone file? But I can't do that because the IP address only points to Stevie :(

Don't worry - this is a fairly easy process. There is no need to bother about IP stuff, just enter the following nameservers:

ns1.heliohost.org

ns2.heliohost.org

 

Then, in cPanel, go to 'Parked Domains' and add your domain from there.

 

Voila! You're domain will be working in 24 hours! :D

I think Byron already changed my Main address http://www.helionet.org/index/index.php?sh...amp;#entry58992 but I don't see the change yet. I'm not sure if it's been 24 hours, and if it's had time to resolve. My name servers weren't pointing to Heliohost's name servers before he changed my main address.

Sorry my last reply was before I saw anyone else replied. I'll try that. Thanks

 

I added "handmadebyerika.com" to create a new parked domain. Is this correct? Is this what I want?

 

It now looks like this.

Domain    Domain Root    Redirects to    Actions
handmadebyerika.com    /public_html    not redirected    Remove    Manage Redirection

All you needed to do was go to your registrar and change the nameservers to:

 

ns1.heliohost.org

ns2.heliohost.org

 

You do not need to create a parked domain with the same domain name. You should remove daman371designs.com as a Parked Domain.

So eventually in cPanel I will see main domain as "Handmadebyerika.com" ? I'll wait another 12 hours or so before bugging you guys :D

 

Also why is PassThru() blocked in MySQL?

My registrar is now pointing to the right name servers http://handmadebyerika.com/ but when I go to that domain it says " could not find handmadebyerika.com " . Is that normal, and if I change my name servers back to GoDaddy until HelioHost points to handmadebyerika.com, will that be fine?

I'm sorry I quoted the wrong domain name. My post should have said to remove handmadebyerika.com as a Parked Domain.

 

I wouldn't change the nameservers again, it would just prolong the propagation. Just give it another 24 hours and it should be ok.

No problem. I knew what you meant. Thanks for all the help.

Moving to Customer Service, as this is related to HelioHost's services. ;)

 

 

Yeah sorry. I posted all 3 of my topics in the wrong place. I know I'm breaking the rules by apologizing for being a Newb and making a big deal about it. :(
