mattlg1 Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 I have registered for an account to transfer my domain to heliohost, but I want to check it all works before changing the DNS entry. What's the hard-URL to my webspace? I've tried guessing allsorts. Cheers MattLG PS. For some reason, I just can't post with the "mattlg" account, so I've created this new one. Any ideas? It says it's been activated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wizard Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Can't you just change teh DNS entry back if you're unsatisfied? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattlg1 Posted November 13, 2008 Author Share Posted November 13, 2008 Can't you just change teh DNS entry back if you're unsatisfied? Well I could, but it takes several hours for it to take effect, then several hours to change it back. It would just be a whole lot easier to look at the webspace directly. Is there any reason I'm not allowed to know it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashoat Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 We've disabled the hard URL, as it enables people to skirt around bandwidth restrictions. I suggest adding a .heliohost.org parked domain, and checking through there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it would need to be enabled by an administrator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashoat Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Honestly, I suggest just taking the plunge. There's little that can go wrong at this level Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattlg1 Posted November 16, 2008 Author Share Posted November 16, 2008 I'm trying to create an email account but I'm getting the error: Sorry, you do not have access to the domain ....... I don't really understand that. There's only one domain on the account. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashoat Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 That domain is not pointed to HelioHost. Set its nameservers to: ns1.heliohost.org ns2.heliohost.org Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattlg1 Posted November 17, 2008 Author Share Posted November 17, 2008 OK, could I have a .heliohost.org subdomain temporarily while I test everything and then get it switched back to the full domain when I'm happy. Any random set of characters will suffice. I don't want to be annoying but I learned a long time ago not to take any risks with computers. It just not worth it, it's so easy to cover your back, you're a fool not to. Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashoat Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 Wait, try to create that email again. It might work now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
