Well that would explain all the flags because of the domain, but why would your google applications not work if they are connected to your email? YOu comparing apples and oranges with that, and as for DNS management the closes you have in a trap account is add-on domains and parked domains. What Rvalkass is trying to say is that you need to add the NS1 servers to your domain name and then park it on your trap account, which you have. If your google applications like web analytics or adsense all your doing is just adding the code snippets to them on your site and thats it.

Like buff mention I can't believe I missed it either, but before you used a purchased domain make sure its not connected to anything, but not that your domain is set to the right servers, you can connect to the cpanel, and no it was never down as I was able to access it all week; nonetheless I think most of your problems are solved which is a good thing.

By the way trap17 is reliable but they do suffer downtimes like everyone else, and so before making that claim make sure it wasn't user error first.

I didnt mean analytics or adsense when I said google apps. Google apps gives users Gmail, Google Calendar and Google Talk accounts that use your own custom domain. To learn more about google apps go to http://www.google.com/a


I beleive you that trap17 is reliable, otherwise they wouldnt have all these users. But I did make sure that the problem wasnt from me by using http://www.alertra.com they check your website from different location around the world to see if it's working. btw in Cpanel it says the server last rebooted 160 days ago, so maybe there was a problem with the datacenter's network ??

acctually the closest was Modify Mail Exchanger (MX Entry) because it allows you to set the MX records for your domain. add-on domains and parked domains do not allow you to set A records or CNAME records.


This is the default setup for a trap17 account: user points domain to ns1.trap17.com and ns2.trap17.com and the dns service and email and web hosting are all hosted at trap17.

This is what I want to do: point my domain to zoneedit, from zoneedit I will point my email to google and point the webhosting to trap17. ( I already tried this and it works see omarali.us without the www, its hosted at trap17, but if you go to www.omarali.us with the www it's still hosted at previous host. The problem that arises right now is that trap17's dns server has wrong information about my domain. does anyone know how do I disable the dns part from my hosting account or at least change it?
