Need Help With Masking A Website

Recommended Posts

Ok, so I'm having a problem with my website and several hours of scouring Google has done me no good towards finding a solution. So, on to my problem.I got hosting here, thus http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ was created. I then bought a domain from GoDaddy, and had it so that it was masked to http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ problem however is that no matter WHERE you are on the website, "http://maliciousintent.net/; still shows in the address bar. This makes it difficult for people to link directly to content, and I feel that would be a huge hindrance once it picks up. Can anyone help or direct me in the ways of getting my website to show http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ etc etc?Thank you.PS - I tried posting this twice in technology but it wasn't showing up....at all. So sorry if they magically show up or something. And Again, Thank you.

Is the Domain Name "Parked" or "Add-on"?If you want the dot net to appear on the user's browser, then "Park" the Domain onto the Xisto sub-domain.

I attempted to park "http://maliciousintent.net/; in my Control Panel and it gave me this....

Error from park wrapper: Using nameservers with the following IPs: 64.202.165.107,208.109.255.12 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.

Thank you.

That's what he will need to do, but first, he needs to release the Domain from another set of Name Servers.

Thanks, I'll do that later but the last few days have been busy as I've seen a friend off to Iraq and have been in the process of moving.As always, thanks much for the help. This is the first time I've owned a domain and the help is appreciated.

Ok, I went over to where I purchased my domain and changed the name servers over to the Xisto Nameservers.What is the next step in getting my site to show up as I want. Will I have to copy my entire website database in to a new folder? Thanks

Okay, now you should 'Park" the doman onto your Xisto sub-domain. Allow 48 to 72 hours for the new name-server information to propagate and then people can begin finding your site using the domain name. Parked domains do not require any content moves at all. Parked Domains go straight to the Root Directory of your account.Add-on Domains go to a sub-folder of your account. Creating an add-on account will also create a sub-folder with the same name, and an ftp user of the same name, too.

I parked the domain, but now when I type in

http://maliciousintent.net/

in to the URL Address Bar, the page loads and then the address changes back to

http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/

I may not have turned of the forwarding and masking over at Godaddy....so let me do that now and report back.




Thanks again.


EDIT - Nope, that's not the issue. I'm lost. The nameservers are changed correctly at my registrar and I have maliciousintent.net parked. Am I missing something?

I went into my CPanel and removed the forwarding service I had which was set to

http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ ===> http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/

I went in and removed it and then entered in maliciousintent.net into the address bar and it worked fine. I was in my directory but I navigated to my forum and it showed up as

http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ precisely how I wanted it to. I've come to believe that the forwarding service is nixing with the system somehow. I need to get my landing page finished and get it in there.

Thanks


EDIT - Issue resolved. Thank you jlhaslip for all the help, it was appreciated.
