rkysh Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 I have a domain registered at godaddy [www.example.com]. And i have a free hosting at Heliohost I want to point my domain to Heliohost's FTP server where my pages are hosted. I googled this and I was instructed to change my nameservers of godaddy to Heliohost's nameserver, then add the FTP IP in the A-Record. But I, without changing the nameservers, Added the A-Record to point to Heliohost's and added a custom domain at Heliohost's [www.example.com to point to public_html] and its working. I'm currently using my original nameserver. Then why is it instructed to change nameservers everywhere. Is it mandatory ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anush Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 If you change the name server, you don't need to worry about rest of things but changing with A records is not advisable to every as it can have problems if not properly configured Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
