Using My Domain Name [resolved] - Letting my domain point to my trap17 web space

mrdee
Hi folks,
my trap17 subdomain is vlaanderen-flanders.trap17.com.
I have now bought the domain name vlaanderen-flanders.org.uk, how can I make that name point to my trap17 subdomain?
I tried using "Addon domain", but the login is really confusing: In the first box it asks you for your domain, that's simple enough, however, in the second one, it asks you for Username/Subdomain, a blank box followed by.vlaanderen-flanders.trap 17.com. I don't know what to fill in in that box, it doesn't work when I dill in my username to access the control panel, nor does it work when I enter the 1st part of my subdomain (the bit before .trap17.com).
However, I have set up domain forwarding with the company who sold me the domain, pointing my domain at my trap17 subdomain webspace, will that do any good?

I really hope someone can help me out here.

Thanks in advance,
Mr. Dee.

First of all, go to your registrar (where you bought the Domain) and change the Name servers to the Trap17 Nameservers ( ns1.trap17.com and ns2.trap17.com).

To 'add-on' a domain, the second field should be the name of the sub-directory you want the domain to point to. example, if the files for the domain are stored in your account folder named 'Forum', then Forum should be placed in the second field.

In order to have the domain name point to your Trap17 account public_html folder, use a 'Parked' domain.

The second box refers to the "folder" name that which your addon domain will reside. This can be anything in alphanumeral except for special characters and spaces.

Let's say you name the second box as HOME. Your new addon domain files should go under HOME folder but whenever URL vlaandern-flanders.org.uk is entered anyone will not know the difference. Addon creates subdomain with your hosting such that when you enter home.vlaanderen-flanders.trap17.com you will see the same index page.

The third box is a password for that folder "HOME." If you're going to be the only manager of the folder it really doesn't matter what password you give. However, please be sure that it's long and complicated enough that it cannot be guessed or hacked.

If you have your own domain try not to use forwarding service. It looks bad for SEO. The reason domain registrars provide domain forwarding is that some hosting companies would not allow you to add or park your own domain name. This is not the case with Trap17 Free Web Hosting, No Ads. We give you the full control over your hosting at a price of *FREE* smile.gif

I have pointed the domain at the trap17 servers, but when trying to park the domain I get this:

"Error from park wrapper: Using nameservers with the following IPs: 64.69.35.177,64.69.35.170 Sorry, the domain is already pointed to an IP address that does not appear to use DNS servers associated with this server. Please transfer the domain to this servers nameservers or have your administrator add one of its nameservers to /etc/ip.remotedns and make the proper A entries on that remote nameserver."

Yet the IP adresses that are mentioned are the correct ones, ie. ns1.trap17.com and ns2.trap17.com.
Why is it not accepting those?

I'm afraid it won't let me do that either.

Thanks to everyone for their excellent advice.
Everything works good as gold now.
I can now nicely surf to http://www.vlaanderen-flanders.org.uk and send and receive email.

the reason why it would not work was most pobably the propagation (or lack thereof).


Thanks again,
Mr. Dee.

  15. My Opinions On Trap17 - Trap17 is more navigatable and has a cooler cPanel than computinghost. (1)
    Trap17 is more navigatable and has a cooler cPanel than computinghost... This may be opinion, but
    the HTML editor on computinghost is long gone. The cPanel is the newer version but as always newer
    isn't always better. So what if they have a new cpanel (ensim did the same thing)…the fact is
    they left old software on for years when much newer and more secure versions are ready. Hell, php6
    is about to come out. So in two years plesk, cpanel and ensim will finally go to php6 when php 8 is
    available. Just the inablilty to apply security patches alone is enough to nev...
