Wow; that's amazing that will work. When you try to simply change the add-on domains in cpanel, no success; however when using the domain change script, it actually processes the request!! I'm going to begin on this assumption, make an A-Record for the root domain, www, and ftp. Did you need to do this for any other component? I use my own MX records, so that is not an issue. I think I got everything; time to wait lol. Thanks again!
By the way, that's insane (.tk) would do that! Fortunately, I haven't had that issue with them yet, but I'm glad to be using a paid TLD now. Thanks again for the help.
