Hey.

I'm trying to forward a domain from my Client Area to my subdomain here..and well...it's giving me issues. I've submitted a ticket like 20 or so minutes ago, and have doubts that the ticket will get a response quickly...most likely get a reply in like 4 days.

Seriously. OQ, Submitting Support Tickets is longer than getting support directly from here. And AstaHost is inactive.

Basically what's wrong is, I've parked my domain "thespiritualportal.com" onto "thespiritualportal.trap17.com" but the .COM domain directs to the home of .trap17.com. I don't want the .com domain having any relations with the subdomain by showing it. I want it to have JUST "thespiritualportal.com/forums" etc.

Help here would be much much appreciated than Support Tickets, where it takes 2-3 and a half days to get a single reply.

Thanks

Check to see if you have any Domain Forwarders on (in your CPanel). If you park a domain but don't have a forwarder then it should take over the site on its own (using the new domain). That's how mine all worked.

However, with forwarders it will still use the old domain.

first of all, you shouldn't be parking your domain. you need to ADD that domain. so just add a new domain through your cpanel and make sure your domain settings are ok. from there, just forward your .com domain to thespiritualportal.com/forums or wherever you want.

So, like an addon domain? Alright, I'll try it, thanks rpg and anwii.

[anwiii]

exactly. an addon domain because any parked domain will automatically be forwarded to you sub domain.

What are the nameservers? (ns.computinghost.com or ns1.computinghost.com)? I know the ns2 nameserver, but not sure about the first one.

And I used my thegtasector.com domain as a parked domain, I don't understand why it's not working here.

[rpgsearcherz]

The nameservers are ns1.computinghost.com and ns2.computinghost.com

I just set mine up yesterday.

My domain still redirects to .trap17.com....even after following anwii's post.

ummm you might want to double check your name servers then rpg. the correct name servers are:

ns.computinghost.com
ns2.computinghost.com

sky- you need to wait for everything to propogate. it takes a few hours to a couple days. also, please tell me you unparked your domain

I did. I've tried everything, but when I enter "ns.computinghost.com" it changes it to "ns2.computinghost.com".
