khallows Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 Hi, I've setup hosting at Heliohost.org and I want my domain to point to the new place My domain registrar is Godaddy. I've change the name servers and deleted the zone file for my old IP address. How can I make http://handmadebyerika.com/ point to the http://handmadebyerika.heliohost.org/ server, yet still look like http://handmadebyerika.com/ ? Sorry for being confusing but basically my cPanel at Heliohost.org says my main domain is http://handmadebyerika.heliohost.org/ . I really need my main domain to be http://handmadebyerika.com/ , and then I need the GoDaddy domain to point here? I don't know I'm really confused If I could somehow get an IP address for http://handmadebyerika.heliohost.org/ then I could just point http://handmadebyerika.com/ to that IP address using my zone file? But I can't do that because the IP address only points to Stevie
jje Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 Don't worry - this is a fairly easy process. There is no need to bother about IP stuff, just enter the following nameservers: ns1.heliohost.org ns2.heliohost.org Then, in cPanel, go to 'Parked Domains' and add your domain from there. Voila! You're domain will be working in 24 hours! 1
khallows Posted February 25, 2011 Author Posted February 25, 2011 I think Byron already changed my Main address http://www.helionet.org/index/index.php?sh...amp;#entry58992 but I don't see the change yet. I'm not sure if it's been 24 hours, and if it's had time to resolve. My name servers weren't pointing to Heliohost's name servers before he changed my main address.

Is this correct? Is this what I want? It now looks like this. Domain Domain Root Redirects to Actions handmadebyerika.com /public_html not redirected Remove Manage Redirection
Byron Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 It now looks like this. Domain Domain Root Redirects to Actions handmadebyerika.com /public_html not redirected Remove Manage Redirection All you needed to do was go to your registrar and change the nameservers to: ns1.heliohost.org ns2.heliohost.org You do not need to create a parked domain with the same domain name. You should remove daman371designs.com as a Parked Domain.

You should remove daman371designs.com as a Parked Domain. So eventually in cPanel I will see main domain as "Handmadebyerika.com" ? I'll wait another 12 hours or so before bugging you guys Also why is PassThru() blocked in MySQL? It now looks like this.

You should remove daman371designs.com as a Parked Domain. My registrar is now pointing to the right name servers http://handmadebyerika.com/ but when I go to that domain it says " could not find handmadebyerika.com " . Is that normal, and if I change my name servers back to GoDaddy until HelioHost points to handmadebyerika.com, will that be fine?
Byron Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 I'm sorry I quoted the wrong domain name. My post should have said to remove handmadebyerika.com as a Parked Domain. I wouldn't change the nameservers again, it would just prolong the propagation. Just give it another 24 hours and it should be ok.

jje Posted February 25, 2011 Posted February 25, 2011 Ooops sorry - didn't realize Byron had changed your main domain. Glad your question got answered.
