abercard Posted May 6, 2011 Posted May 6, 2011 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 Luke Quote
jje Posted May 6, 2011 Posted May 6, 2011 You can change your main domain using the script available at: http://www.heliohost.org/home/support/scripts/domain 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? Quote
Guest Geoff Posted May 6, 2011 Posted May 6, 2011 Yes, we do handle the registration of .heliohost.org domains. Quote
abercard Posted May 7, 2011 Author Posted May 7, 2011 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 Quote
jje Posted May 7, 2011 Posted May 7, 2011 There is no need to setup nameservers with .heliohost.org domains - we do it for you. Quote
Guest Geoff Posted May 7, 2011 Posted May 7, 2011 This process is automated: your domain will be set up when your account is created. Quote
abercard Posted May 8, 2011 Author Posted May 8, 2011 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 Quote
