da.ru / other free domains question.

[iGuest 3]

how exactly do you configure the DNS settings ect., for me to get the da.ru domain to work?what i did was i made a new dns record at da.ru and configured two nameserver (NS) dns settings. one named "ns1" to ns1.vaio-hosting.com and one named "ns2" to ns2.vaio-hosting.com, i've been waiting, but still no confirmation and i went to CPanel and went to "Parked Domains" and i still can't add my domain, it says "Parked Domain AdditionsCannot determine nameserver ip for chronix.da.ru. Please make sure that it is registered with a valid domain name register. "did i do something wrong? i'm not too familiar with domain stuff. any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks a lot.if it's because of DA.RU, is there another free domain i can use that works with FNH? Thanks.- Nell Mathew.

da.ru is just a redirection service, you don't have to set a DNS record. Normally, when you get the account, you have to specify the base URL, ie: the real address of your host and that's all. Btw, da.ru looks very crappy.. there are many free redirection services, the best IMHO is dot.tk

yeah but i thought you could use it like uni.cc as a domain name with the dns settings, ect., anyone know any other services that offer this and how to go about doin it?

Check out http://freedns.afraid.org/ This will offer you a lot of cool subdomains and you can use DNS or redirection, whatever you like.

I've tried using http://freedns.afraid.org/, and tried setting up the DNS stuff, but had no idea how to do it . Any chance of a tutorial?

[iGuest 3]

I am using http://freedns.afraid.org/ for my FNH account.

You have to: add a NS type subdomain and point the DNS to ns1.vaio-hosting.com ( put ns1.vaio-hosting.com in the address field) then save.

 

then go to fnh cp > addon domains and complete with you subdomaind saved before. that should be all.
