aynil Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 As you may know I had problems to register with the domain aynil.co.cc: http://www.helionet.org/index/index.php?showtopic=9408 I now have a working hosting account on stevie with the domain: aynil.heliohost.org I wonder if the admins can change my default domain. If not, can you please give me an advise how to setup my co.cc domain to point to the current domain. It would be nice if the adress of the site in the browser would be the co.cc adress, but if I just redirect the domain it shows "... - Powered by co.cc", which I dislike ;o) Hope you can understand my messy explanation ;o) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuloto Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Use Parked Domains option in your Control Panel and set DNS servers of your co.cc domain to ns1.heliohost.org and ns2.heliohost.org. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cl58 Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 To change your default domain, go to http://www.heliohost.org/home/support/scripts/domain To set up the domain, in your co.cc account domain setup, choose the nameserver option and set the name servers as ns1.heliohost.org and ns2.heliohost.org It could take 24-48 hours for the changes to take effect. Edit: Using parked domains as Kuloto said would work, but the domain would not be your default one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krydos Posted May 26, 2011 Share Posted May 26, 2011 To change your default domain, go to http://www.heliohost.org/home/support/scripts/domain To set up the domain, in your co.cc account domain setup, choose the nameserver option and set the name servers as ns1.heliohost.org and ns2.heliohost.org It could take 24-48 hours for the changes to take effect. Edit: Using parked domains as Kuloto said would work, but the domain would not be your default one. Personally, I prefer to have my username.heliohost.org as my main domain, and then use parked and addon domains. I agree that redirection is messy and having something forcibly tacked onto your title of each page is annoying. Just because your main domain is a .heliohost.org domain doesn't mean that anyone ever has to see it, and if there are problems accessing your website at any point it gives an extra level of troubleshooting. For instance if aynil.heliohost.org works, but aynil.co.cc doesn't work you can almost immediately know where the problem is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aynil Posted May 26, 2011 Author Share Posted May 26, 2011 Many thanks for this advises. Krydos has a got point in his view but I think I will change my domain, because I already configured wordpress on this domain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
