Hello,

I have a domain name through an external provider that I'd like routed to my account.

Username:
efinn
Domain:
efinn.helioho.st
DNS Records to add:
A and AAAA for:

  • efinn.net
  • www.efinn.net

Additionally, I'd like "efinn.net" to be the main address for the website. This is a pretty fresh setup and I've saved the content elsewhere, so I don't need a backup made of anything.

As a note, I've only set up the A and AAAA records to match the IP addresses from the efinn.helioho.st records, since I'm assuming the server has a static IP address and wish to use other subdomains (and possibly other records on the root domain) for other purposes. Please feel free to let me know if this is particularly fragile (since I think using Namecheap's ALIAS pseudo-record will still get me what I want).

Thank you!

I've changed the main domain on your account for you. Please note that it may take up to 2 hours for the domain change to take effect, and it will not work until you set up your DNS with your domain registrar.

To configure your DNS, please see the steps provided on our Wiki to either set NS records pointed at the HelioHost nameservers, or create A/AAAA records and point them to your server's IPv4/IPv6 address: https://wiki.helionet.org/Changing_Your_Main_Domain#Custom_DomainsΒ 

If after a full 2 hours it doesn't work on your side, please make sure you clear your web browser cache: https://wiki.helionet.org/Clear_Your_CacheΒ 

Since there is a risk of data loss when main domains are changed, I made a full account backup for you before I made the changes, in case you need any files from the old domain. You can download the backup here: https://heliohost.org/backupΒ 
If you're not sure how to extract the backup files, please follow our how-to guide here: https://wiki.helionet.org/Account_Backups
