darkstar Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 Hi! I am new to these forums.I joined yesterday while searching for free host.My website address is darkstar.heliohost.org (Currently Under Construction) I am adding a Web Forwarding using some other web site which provides two method 1)NS (For external name servers) 2)"A" and "MX" (at UNI.CC' DNS) Which one should I use and How do I configure them. The first one requires Nameserver #1 and Nameserver #2 while second option ask for Main server IP address: and Mailserver name. If I configure correctly I will be able to access my website using dstar.uni.cc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Byron Posted July 16, 2009 Share Posted July 16, 2009 Thanks for replying.Can you tell me step by step process about How you configured your own First you need to go sign up for your domain name at http://www.uni.cc before you go to cpanel. And I'm assuming you want this to be a Parked Domain and not an Addon Domain, right? The difference is that an Addon Domain is a sub directory on your site and a Parked Domain is your site.

I have my website address darkstar.heliohost.org Now I log unto uni.cc and sign up.Sign up is free.Then I type dstar to check If it is available.Now in Domain Configuration of uni.cc it asks for Record Type and give me 3 options 1) NS (For external name servers) 2)"A" and "MX" (at UNI.CC' DNS) 3)Google Apps/Google sites It's clear that I can not use the third option so I have to choose from first 2 which i do not know how to configure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK, you want to choose the first option: 1) NS (For external name servers) so click the radio button for that option and then fill out the 2 name server fields with: ns1.heliohost.org ns2.heliohost.org and then click "Continue" or whatever to proceed. Basically just give then the information they ask for like a valid email address and a username. Should be basic stuff. That's really all you need to get a domain name. I think they will probably send you a confirmation email. Let me know when you've gotten your domain name and I'll tell you what to do at your cpanel.

darkstar Posted July 17, 2009 Author Share Posted July 17, 2009 Now what should I enter in Main server IP address: Mailserver name: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Byron Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Now what should I enter in Main server IP address: Mailserver name: You won't be using those fields with the NS option. All you need to enter is the name servers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All you need to enter is the name servers. So that's It........ After clicking save it says "DNS changes may take up to 24 hours to be propagated " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Byron Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 So that's It........ After clicking save it says "DNS changes may take up to 24 hours to be propagated " No you have one more step. You need login to your cpanel and click onto the link that says "Parked Domains" and then where it says "Create A New Parked Domain" you enter: dstar.uni.cc into the text field and click "Add Domain" and by this time tomorrow you should be good to go.

Byron Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 If your wondering why your domain name (dstar.uni.cc) isn't working, it's because it's not showing any NS records right now. Something must have went wrong so go back to http://www.uni.cc and enter these name servers again for your domain: ns1.heliohost.org ns2.heliohost.org and click save. That should fix it.
