Hey everyone, What are the A DNS records for the Johnny server? Thanks! Curtis

Hi – I am trying to create an addon domain for an existing website and have run into an issue. After entering the necessary info on the CPanel Addon Domains page, I get the following error message: Error from park wrapper: Using nameservers with the following IPs: 208.109.255.42,216.69.185.42 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. I already realize that the domain in question (pabwebsolutions.com) does not currently point to one of your web servers. As this is an existing site, my plan was create the add-on domain, create a subdomain for that site, and then replicate the website on that new subdomain. That way, I could confirm things were working correctly before officially moving the main website. This domain already has multiple subdomains on multiple web hosts and I control where they are hosted via A records on the registrar (GoDaddy). I would prefer to continue using GoDaddy’s name servers for this domain and not change to your name servers. (As an experiment, I did add your name servers as NS records on the remote chance this would satisfy your automated system check – it didn’t.) Checking previous posts, I found an individual with a very similar problem: http://www.helionet....n-to-heliohost/ The following entry summarizes that resolution - “The system prevents domains that aren't pointed at our servers from being added for security reasons. An admin can override this protection though and add the domain for you.” Please advise if there is an alternate approach to add “pabwebsolutions.com” as an add-on domain while still retaining GoDaddy nameservers. Otherwise, I would request an admin add “pabwebsolutions.com” as an add-on domain to my main domain pab49162.heliohost.org. Thanks in advance for your assistance - Paul

Hi I setup an account couple of days back and can access my setup thru cPanel.(from heliohost.org home page) However, I cant browse into my domain from browser with http://<name>.heliohost.org (http://<name>.heliohost.org/cpanel is no go, ping <name>.heliohost.org is no go as well) Do I need to setup DNS records for my domain myself ? or is it done automatically ? Any pointers ? regards SK

Trying not to ask a dumb question. I have set my DNS servers but I am not sure what to set my "A record" or Host IP address to. I have seen questions about DNS and NS but not @ or A records. Please advise. 360degreenetworking.com John Carlisle After further looking it seems that I can either use 64.62.211.131 or johnny.heliohost.org
