domain query

[xploitedmedia]

i have registered via your hosting as xploitedmedia.heliohost.org

 

i currently own xploitedmedia.co.uk and want that as the web address. i have currently set it as a parked domain so you type it in and it redirects to the heliohost one.

 

how can i set it so its just xploitedmedia.co.uk rather than the heliohost one?

Go to your cpanel "Parked Domains" and disable the redirection and that should take care of it since that domain is pointed to our nameservers.

 

 

[xploitedmedia]

thank you. i have done that now. it still comes up when i type in xploitedmedia.co.uk with xploitedmedia.heliohost.org. so im assuming it takes a while to work?

[Byron]

Evidently it takes 24 hours but when I try going here this morning:

 

http://xploitedmedia.co.uk

 

I'm getting like a 503 error. Did you change anything else besides the redirection at cpanel?

 

[xploitedmedia]

i havent changed anything other than the nameservers like it said to do. any idea what ive done wrong?

[Byron]

Where did you change the nameservers? Did you go to Parked Domains and remove the redirection?

 

[xploitedmedia]

I have removed the parked domain as you said via cpanel.

Regarding nameservers I am registered the account via fasthosts and have set it on their settings to your nameservers.

I don't know what settings I need to do this end?

[Byron]

I didn't want you to completely remove the domain, just remove the redirection, but that's ok. Just go back to "Parked Domains" at your cpanel and add xploitedmedia.co.uk as a parked domain again BUT don't add any redirection. Just click Add and that's it. After about 24 hours you should be able to see your domain without it being redirected.

 

Also look inside your root .htaccess file and tell me if you see something like this:

 

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^xploitedmedia.co.uk$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.xploitedmedia.co.uk$
RewriteRule ^/?$ "http\:\/\/xploitedmedia\.heliohost\.org" [R=301,L]

[xploitedmedia]

sorry i misunderstood what you meant. i have now added the parked domain and disabled the redirection as you said. i also looked in the .htaccess file and this is all that appears

 

# -FrontPage-

IndexIgnore .htaccess */.??* *~ *# */HEADER* */README* */_vti*

<Limit GET POST>

[Byron]

Yeah what you have in your .htaccess file is fine. I just wanted to make sure the redirection got removed. Looks like your site is up and working now.
