Change from external to Helio Host Domain Name

[abercard]

I have purchased a domain name with another provider,

and registered and uploaded files with HelioHost using this domain

(lisaoconnor.co.uk).

 

However, I would like to use a (free?) Helio Host domain name instead :

 

lisaoconnor.heliohost.org

 

How would I do this? I have managed to change my domain name

to lisaoconnorart.co.uk (not the name I want though),

but can't find where I did this.

 

Also: Am I correct in thinking that HelioHost handles the registration

of the domain if of the form '...heliohost.org' (and name resolution etc)

 

Excuse my ignorance, am new to Web Site Design

You can change your main domain using the script available at:

Also: Am I correct in thinking that HelioHost handles the registration

of the domain if of the form '...heliohost.org' (and name resolution etc)

I am not sure if I understand. Could you explain it a little clearer, possibly with an example?

Yes, we do handle the registration of .heliohost.org domains.

Here is some further explanation of my question about domain registration etc.

 

When I have purchased a domain name from another registrar, I believe I must

inform them of the helio host name servers :

 

eg. with 'lisaoconnor.co.uk' I must tell my Registrar of the Helio Host name servers :

 

ns1.heliohost.org &

ns2.heliohost.org

 

However I want to use a Helio Host registered domain name, ie.:

 

'lisaoconnor.heliohost.org'

 

Will you set up the name servers to resolve this name, or do I need to do this myself, and how?

 

Apologies for the basicness of this question.

Thanks,

Luke

There is no need to setup nameservers with .heliohost.org domains - we do it for you.

This process is automated: your domain will be set up when your account is created.

Thank you for your help, I've successfully set up my new domain name on Johnny.

 

I know that it's up and running, as I can display a simple html page.

 

I've developed a site in ASP.Net, and the web pages have the suffix .aspx

but I can't seem to view these, I get the following error message :

 

'Internet Explorer Cannot Display the WebPage'

 

I've uploaded all the required Image Files, Styles and Scripts, along with a bin, directory,

and associated .dll and .pdb files.

 

Is there any more configuration that I need to do?

 

Any help would be much appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Luke
