[Solved] Changing Domain Name Unchanged 2 Weeks So Far

[mandytw]

Hi there,

 

I've changed my domain name from mandytw.co.cc to mandytw using the scripts provided by helionet but for some reason, the old domain name seems still to be registered. Can anyone at support do a quick check for me and tell me what the problem is?

 

Thanks

"mandytw" isn't a valid domain. Do you mean mandytw.heliohost.org, mandytw.tk, mandytw.cu.cc, mandytw.com, or what?

[mandytw]

mandytw.com. My cpanel only ever refers to mandytw.co.cc. I tried to change the domain name from mandytw.co.cc to mandytw.com using the script (http://www.heliohost.org/home/support/scripts/domain). I also changed the nameservers at my domain name registrar (Godaddy) but nothing seems to have worked.

There seems to be no A record associated with this domain. No worries, your nameservers are set correctly. Another user seems to have the same issue (http://www.helionet.org/index/topic/14501-domain-issue/). I wonder how many are experiencing this...

[Krydos]

Ok, it looks like you tried to change your domain to "http://www.mandytw.com" Can you try using http://www.heliohost.org/home/support/scripts/domain again and this time type "mandytw.com" as your domain. Cpanel automatically creates a CNAME record for www. and http:// isn't actually part of your domain name; it's just the protocol. Let us know if you're still having issues changing your main domain.

Hi thanks for the replies. I've just done as you said and tried changing the domain name using the script AND "mandytw.com" as the name change result rather than "http://www.mandytw.com." Let's see if that works. I'll wait the 48 hours required and hope it pans out. Cheers.
