Josso Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Hey! Is it possible to use another nameserver, in which I can enter the IP address for domains and subdomains etc. The reason is that the registrator of the Danish TLD (.dk) only accept "confirmed" nameservers. I already have a nameserver (which is confirmed) and I were wondering whether I could use that. I would then point my domain to the IP address of the server.

Krydos Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Yes it is possible to use an external DNS and people have done exactly that in the past which can sometimes provide better uptime and stability. Another option would be to escalate this request to our root admin and he can take steps to get our DNS setup so you and other users of .dk domain names could use our DNS services. Let us know which option you would like to pursue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have set the nameserver up to use the IP of Stevie (65.19.143.3) but I'm getting the "HELIOHOST ACCOUNT QUEUED" page. It's been a week or so, since I registered. Anything I need to get done?

It's been a week or so, since I registered. Anything I need to get done? It takes about 24 hours after you get the DNS set up for the queued page to go away, sometimes longer. Have you had the DNS set to it's current settings since July 30th or have you recently changed it? ----- Post #300 for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Geoff Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 I have set the nameserver up to use the IP of Stevie You need to use the IP of your site, not the generic IP. To find out your site's IP, go to http://www.kloth.net/services/nslookup.php , then enter ns1.heliohost.org in the server box, then your domain in the domain box.

Guest Geoff Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Is it working now? If not, can you PM me or post your domain? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krydos Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 Looks like it's working. Site says "Site is up and running!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josso Posted August 9, 2011 Author Share Posted August 9, 2011 Is it working now? If not, can you PM me or post your domain? The domain is [domain] Going to / makes a redirect to /cgi-sys/defaultwebpage.cgi with the "HELIOHOST ACCOUNT QUEUED"-message. Going directly to a file, like /index.html shows the file as it should. :/ EDIT: Apparantly that's my cache. Everything is working. Thanks for the help.
