Domain Linking Problem I cant link the domain name to my hosting account

[Nameless_ 1]

Hi people... I have purchased my domain!!!

 

Unfortunately however, I can't seem to park my domain over there... the company says that it is best to get a subdomain first and then link the domain over there so in case my domain expires or something like that, I will have something to fall back on. Their tutorial tells me to add my domain as a new "parked" domain, so I have tried to do that.

 

This was their error message (on cPanel):

 

Error from park wrapper: Sorry, cannot determine nameserver IPs. Please make sure that the domain is registered with a valid domain registrar.

I know that Xisto is a valid domain registrar, so I don't know what's wrong with anything. Did I do something wrong with nameservers? The transaction of buying the domain went smoothly though. I know that because I can see my newly bought domain in the "My domains" tab and the $10USD deduction in my account. So... I know that it is now registered (by me), but I can't link the domain to my hosting account at all!!!

 

I have sent in a support ticket, but they haven't replied yet so I thought I would start a thread here for help. (I knew something bad would happen - it always does for someone like me).

First it takes more than 24 hours for domain registration-update and DNS update. Also it will take 24 hours for nameserver to update. It's not that you can register in morning and get site up and running in afternoon-evening. It's not 1 minute thing in case of domain and hosting. and as far as replies are concerned from support side, today is saturday in india. Likely to be holiday for 2 days, let's see if there is any support person comes in weekend. And i think there is something wrong with tutorial. If i'm not mistaken if we want to host our site with domain from another registrar we've to add-on domain. Not to park it. I already created thread for this. You can go through that therad, also there is good tutorial on cpanel site for add-on domain. Check that video.

Yeah, I always thought "parking" was like where you pretty much wildcard the site so everything goes to that domain regardless of what was typed, like http://ww2.yourname.com/ would still lead to your main site.

As mahesh said, the name servers will take some time to propagate through out the internet, so it will take some time to park your domain. But don't worry, since you've submitted a support ticket, a support person will Park your domain for you. Just wait for some time. Nothing bad happened to you, that type of errors are common. I have also faced that problem

OK, thanks people.Yes, the support was rather fast and efficient (less than one day's time) even when I set it to low, and the person was very nice (for some strange reason it is always the same person replying to my tickets). However, the main problem was this. Apparently the IP address of my computer is not from the same country as I have put down where I live in my account details. Therefore, it is listed as a fraud domain."Status: Fraud"Which is true because I got my computer from another country and then migrated to a new country and am using it there. The thing is that I didn't know that IP addresses of computers have actual addresses from the global map. But anyway, the $10 USD was refunded, my invoice was "said" to be cancelled and I was told to send in a new order but when I tried to again with the address of the other country where I bought my computer from the domain is already said to be registered by me through the Xisto Corporation.So the order wasn't cancelled, though I have my refund back. I don't know what's wrong with the company, but everything seems like a wreck these days with the myCENTS going beserk, though I have to admit that I am the main problem of the whole domain problem thing. But anyway... yeah, the person was very nice so I hope all this will be over and done with soon...

Your IP gives your ISP's location. Using people skills you can then obtain the address, name, and phone number of the client as well.

You would be amazed at what all you can do with just an IP address, as well as how easy they are to obtain.

What??? I never knew that. I might use a proxy from now on... But I don't think they'll let me buy a domain in that case. Great, so I can't hide either my address, name or my phone number. Well, I gave real detail for my address. Just not the door number or anything like that. And I put in a fakish phone number because my mum wanted me to, though I might change that. I don't see the difference though. And I gave my name through the buying of the domain name, so that doesn't really matter.Well... OK, that means that it isn't the IP addresses problem, but it is the ISP's problem. And the problem is that I am now overseas, so my ISP will change accordingly to where I am. I will be going back to where I normally live in a week... so my ISP will change in a week... Argh!!! Does that means that even if I provide real information at where I live right now it will be labelled as "fraud: when I go back in a weeks time?Or does it really doesn't matter? What if I don't come to this country for my school holidays the next year when my domain expires? Will the information update by itself accordingly or will it be labelled as fraud again and hence become unusable. God... why did I come here in the first place? I should have done it ages ago or after I go back on the plane.
