QUOTE(Dooga @ Jan 25 2008, 09:33 AM)  Great update! I'm sure that this will increase the speeds of our website propagating as well.. A little small problem I had was changing the nameservers. With a lot of domain registrants you can't have IP nameservers. This includes xidomain.com How do we work around it? IP address is required by very hosts. They operate through NS Name itself. So, with registrars like XiDomains, ignore IP. You need not enter it. QUOTE(sheepdog @ Jan 25 2008, 09:58 AM) Ok, please help. I have no idea what this all means. I'm about to panic. Please tell my my web site is not going to crash/dissapear/vanish off the face of the web. I went into free domain control panel, when I tried to log in I couldn't get logged in. I tried to get my password and was told I was not registered user. update I went to Network Solutions and tried to change it and got this Host name invalid. Invalid character(s) or format entered. Use only alphanumeric and dash (-) between dots Name Server 1: Select from existing name servers:NS1.TRAP17.COM NS2.TRAP17.COM Host name invalid. Invalid character(s) or format entered. Use only alphanumeric and dash (-) between dots Name Server 2: Select from existing name servers:NS1.TRAP17.COM NS2.TRAP17.COM I had changed the NS1.trap17.com to NS.COMPUTINGHOST.COM => 67.19.253.52 and the second to NS2.COMPUTINGHOST.COM => 64.69.35.177 What am I doing wrong????? Just enter :- ns.computinghost.com ns2.computinghost.com If it does not accept, Try again now.  QUOTE(Galahad @ Jan 25 2008, 01:50 PM) This is great! As always, OpaQue and Trap17 keep bringing us great stuff every once in a while... This is just great... I have one question though (and it may be stupid and retarded): I have a TLD (.net), and I used "Change domain" option here on Trap17 (www.trap17.com/manage) (actuallt BuffaloHELP helped me with that, thanks!)... Now, how do I change nameservers? Is there some section here on Trap17 management system, that will let me edit my DNS records? I registered through a reseller (my ISP actualy), and they don't provide control panel for domains, that are not hosted with them, they say I must edit my records here, on Trap17, but I haven't seen such an option... Can someone help? How DO I change my name servers for the domain I own/ "I registered through a reseller" => Ask this reseller to change your nameservers to :- ns.computinghost.com ns2.computinghost.com |

I have a few questions; how long do we actually have to change this?
If we do not change this, then will our sites stop working? It's good that trap17 are still continuing to improve their services and are devoted to us. |

I have Plan 3S with ComputingHost. I do not know where I am supposed to go to update my nameservers. I the Client Login, I can check and see what these are currently, but I have no option to change this. Is this in CPanel? Is there another administration area that I am not aware of?

Nameserver Changes need to be done at the spot where you Purchased or Registered your Domain Name.
Example: GoDaddy, Yahoo, Xidomains, etc. There * should * be a place to unlock the Domain and modify the Nameserver Information. Change the information as per above. |

darn!
 i am using a uni.cc "domain" (well, it's technically a subdomain but with DNS features), which i acquired 4 years ago using now-defunct email addresses (a yahoo primary address and a lycos.co.uk secondary address, both of which had since ceased to exist since i didn't regularly check them after moving on to gmail). this advisory was a regal shocker since i now have no idea what my uni.cc login details are, and a lost password retrieval option is out of the question, not with dead email addresses!!! since i didn't keep track of my uni.cc login details, i have to do several trial and errors to remember my login and password. i'll keep my fingers crossed that i will be able to shake my gray brain cells and succeed in remembering a lost 4-year old uni.cc-related memory, and subsequently make the nameserver changes in time.... speaking of time, when will the old nameservers (ns1.trap17.com and ns2.trap17.com) cease to function??? kindly give us a timetable opaque/velma. thanks! i will post an update by the time i can crack my head open with regards to my uni.cc problem. --- update: i finally figured out my uni.cc login details, and successfully implemented the nameserver changes on my end. phew! that was a close call i was beginning to dread the possibility i had to change domains altogether.  anyway, i think the question on the timetable i posited above is still a valid question/concern for all others who are still to make their own DNS changes.

Either I just swallowed a placebo or my website is loading faster after initiating the namesaver change to computinghost. What I'm trying to say is, my readers and I appreciate the effect this upgrade has already had on my site. And I c |
