I got some of those free .info domains from 1&1, and want to set it up for use with my hosting account. I already pointed the domains to the Trap17 nameservers (ns1.trap17.com and ns2.trap17.com - are these correct?) and will use one of them as an addon domain. I understand I either have to request a domain change, or spend an additional 5 credits to do this instantly, while in the meantime, the domains aren't even registered, so I don't want to lose acces to my site while they wait for registration. Does anyone have a step-by-step guide to changing domains, as well as using the addon domain feature in cPanel?
Here's what I currently see (at 7:54 PM; the confirmation email was recieved at 5:48 PM):
Edit: I have more than enough credits to complete this.
Just add a parked domain, and the domain will be pointed at your site, meaning you can send mail with it etc. Just click on "Parked Domains" in Cpanel, and add them.
I did that last night (within a few hours of getting the domains) for one of them, and it worked like a charm. Now I need to do the other domain, which is my real domain. I will submit a request (not goo ahead and do it immediatley) so that I can have a chance at saving 5 credits.
Grrrr, I changed my domain, and now my whole site is screwed up. If you go to my blog (www.nyceducated.info/blog), you will see my blog, but no template. If you try to click a link in the blog, the URL it will go to is under my old subdomain (busstop.trap17.com, which no longer exists), and you will get a host unresolved error from your browser. Where does WordPress keep that info (aside from the wp_options table in the database, if any other location)? I edited the records in the wp_options table, and I still don't have proper display. Everything is being referenced by my subdomain, which is incorrect and doesn't exist. I need a solution and fast, before Goolgebot gets to my site!! Edit: I should have made the new domain an addon domain; this would have saved a million hours worth of headaches.
Notice from BuffaloHELP:
Merging. Please do not double post. That's the first reason why the new edit feature was added.
This is not the Vent section nor is related to this topic.
However, you have to manually go back and change or adjust those links since you initially placed as busstop.trap17.com. It is something you have to labor instead of wishing that it changes automatically It's a simple URL link edit. Don't fret it.
All your table and format will return to normal once you replace busstop.trap17.com with your current URL OR just use the / or ../ or folder/ etc.

WordPress keeps all of this in the MySQL database. I can't simply change the link locations to my new domain. I tried replacing busstop.trap17.com with my new domain in the database (in the wp_options table). However, I still see the plain look on my blog, and the links still reflect that of my subdomain. Would my best try be to switch back to my subdomain and use nyceducated.info as an adon domain, in whcih case everything should work? Update: For some weird reason, after I looked at my blog, everything was looking mighty fine. All I had to do was change .htaccess1 back to .htaccess (I renamed it while I spent a few hours trying to figure out how I could fix it) and the permalinks worked properly.
Hi, I am having some serious problems with my sub domains. I registered a site with trap17 named
http://zoebelkin.co.cc . Then I made 2 sub domains for the site. One is for the forums section
and the other is for the gallery section. 1> forums.zoebelkin.co.cc 2> gallery.zoebelkin.co.cc
Whenever I type these in the browser adress bar the browser gives an output that it cannot find the
web sites. But they are complete and should show something. Also using www. in front of the sub
domains didn't help. Is www. needed in front of the sub domains. Could you just...

Ok guys so im thinking about purchasing a domain, Im know that Trap17 does support the use of our
own domains but I have never set one up before. I was wonder if anyone knew where to get the
cheapest and most reliable domains from? and if I were to purchase one could somebody possibly help
set it up or something because I had a look through the cpanel but I couldn't really figure out
what to do. Thanks....
How can I set up addon domains on my trap17 account? The notice says this: QUOTE Note: This
feature must be enabled for your account before you can use it. Addon Domains will not be functional
unless the domain name is registered with a valid registrar and configured to point to our DNS
servers. Does this mean you do not allow addon domains on trap17? Or does it mean I have to do
something special in order for it to work?...

HI, I was about to add an addon domain called "skyclansite.com" to my site but I get this error:

Hi guys, I need your openion on how best to host 6 domains in my trap17 account. Currently, I have
a forum and Mambo site hosted on the trap17 subdomain lawmatchmaker.Trap17.com. I purchased a new

Okay guys, I'm having a bit of a problem regarding my website and domains. Basically, I have
about 6 domains...I want 3 or 4 of them to go to my main site (a blog), and the other 2 to go to
another directory of the site (a graphics forum), so I've been trying to set up my cpanel to be
able to do this. The current setup is like this: plusone.trap17.com -- my blog
plusone.trap17.com/forums or forums.plusone.trap17.com-- graphics forum As an example, I have these
two domains registered: jrockett.info plusoneconcepts.info and I want them to direct like this: j...
I was wondering if it is possible to have two domains for one hosting account, top level domains.
Like www.something.com and www.something2.com for the same hosting account. And my other question is
what are parked domains? thanks....
I currently have one addon domain in use. If I look in cPanel, I don't see any addon domains
listed in the Addon domains page, even though I really have one. My account's main domain is
nyceducated.info, and my addon domain is mesivtaofroslyn.info. Why isn't mesivtaofroslyn.info
showing up as an addon domain?...
I have #####.com hosted with trap17. It all works Fine. Can I park a #####.com.au on my trap17

I've never seen a froum like AstaHost before. I was feeling bored today, so I lokked around on
AstaHost, and discovered just how great it is. They have more organized categories, better posts,
less moderators (no offense guys). I know that I can switch pretty easily because I can just
download a cPanel backup and restore it on AstaHost. I like AstaHost because the posts are better
quality (here we have tons of one liners, double posts - being eliminated, and broken English,
without mentioning any names), and I would be supporting the same company anyways. So everyone...
Can I buy a domain and add it as new domain and power to have two domains without having to change
the dns and to transfer domains? but simply add another domain and that one can enter in my web for
anyone of both, as if the second and new domain was a link or a redirection.Thanks very much...
hi i was wondering, i registred a domain (www.armaniii.be) and i want to have this as a domain...
but i want more then just 1... so lets say i have 1234.be 4321.be blabla.be wassie.be and i want
them all to redirect to my site. so when you go to 1234.be you go to www.wassie.trap17.com same with
the others. But i also want to be able just to go to www.wassie.trap17.com. the domains (.be) must
also be able to do this: when i make a new directory at www.wassie.trap17.com lets say its
www.wassie.trap17.com/map/, the domains must also be able to acces it like www.1234.be/...
Under cPanel > Site Management Tools > Addon Domains Three input fields: New Domain Name:
Username/SubDomain Name: Password: Then there's: Setup(/Remove) Redirection

current subdomain? Thanks for the help....

I have a domain, but it's not exactly a TLD, uni.cc, but since I have a domain in Trap17, I have
an option to having subdomains like subdomain.domain.uni.cc. Here's my question. I want to
make some guys use a subdomain of mine. Is this allowed? It's not like I'm charging them or
anything. It's a bit like hosting them I suppose... Don't worry, their site isn't
illegal in anyway. /happy.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='happy.gif' /> I just

I will be getting a .com domain soon (whenever i am kinda free)... i would like to know certain
stuff... like, i have parked domains in hosts before.. but not in a free one, so yea.. the .com

this is what my domain registrar offers: URL forwarding Domain name parking now i know URL
forwarding is going to take a while to get to my site... so i am avoiding that, but how do you guyz
go about doing the parking thing??? so what are the steps i need to take after registering...
