Set Nameservers?

hey! ..i jus registered a domain name with www.ueuo.com ..my domain name is www.sindhu.com.. i uploaded the files index.html, my stylesheet and some images in the img folder. but yet when i type in www.sindhu.com, some irrelevant site appears.

the activation email said this at the end

<quote>You will Set Nameservers to the following:
Primary Nameserver: ns1.ueuo.com [72.232.193.162]
Secondary Nameserver: ns2.ueuo.com [72.232.193.163]

Changes to Name Servers may take up to 48 hours to take effect.

and the account activation mail said i need to set nameservers myself. and it gave me links with primary name servers and secondary nameservers. i've no idea how to do this. please help

please help, am desperate

You should go back to the place the Domain name is registered and set the new nameservers accordingly. The information should be according to the information above. Try that and post back here if you need more assistance. It may take as long as 72 hrs to affect your account, so be prepared for a delay of at least 48 hrs as suggested. In order to access the account from your own computer before the nameserver change takes effect, there is information in the Trap17 readme file to allow for altering the HOSTS file on your machine.

i have not quite understood, but i know what you have said is right. but please make the language in laymen's terms...i mean simpler. am totally new to this.thankx for the reply, i appreciate that:)

and recently on the www.ueuo.com (my domain name provider) has put up this notice on their site

" Attention!!! There is a new ip for ueuo.com accounts, 72.232.193.165. Use it for ftp access. "

please tell me how to go about this

From http://www.freewebhostingarea.com/free-domain-hosting.html, the FAQ for www.ueuo.com

It sounds like their wording is very ambiguous or confusing. As far as I can tell, they do not provide domain names. You need to buy a domain name from a company (such as www.GoDaddy.com) for anywhere between $3 and $10. Then you can follow their frequently asked questions or their tech support to set up your domain name servers.

Currently http://www.sindhu.com/ seems to be registered through http://www.moniker.com/. If you've indeed registered it with moniker, contact them about setting up your domain name servers. Otherwise, you need to register and pay for a different domain name.

i registered my name through this link for free http://www.ueuo.com/cgi-bin/domreg.cgi it never asked me to pay or giver any details about payment.

I followed your link, filled in information, and got the following:

Although I'd love to own www.google.com, the likelihood of me getting it is pretty small. It's their fault that their site is misleading (although they do directly state the caution that I've highlighted in bold). You really do have to pay for a domain name -- there's not really any way around it.

hello buddy!...well i dont want to upset you, when i first registered my domain... was looking for a free web hosting...i got where you got...but you are forced to put ads and those sort of things...what i recomend you to do is to "add-on" your new domain in your trap17.com account that is for sure even better....

thanx to the guys of trap17!

thank you so much guys, for a moment i was mislead by the whole free domain thing. now i know nothing is completly free, it is it always comes with a catch....

thank you so much people for helping out, its been a great experience posting here, forums are so helpful. keep the good work going !!!!
