Dummies guide needed!

[It Takes The Biscuit]

I have registered & payed for another domain name, I have gone to VBS & added the servers ns15.vodahost.com & ns16.vodahost.com to the DNS section,

Please can you tell me what my next step is? please bear in mind I am new to PC's & Vodahost!

Re: Dummies guide needed!

go control panel, subdomain, then setup re direction done
also remeber it can take a few hours for the servers to be redirected to you voda host ones

Re: Dummies guide needed!

I've got to the sub domain maintenance page but its not right!
on the first section it has three sites listed
ittakesthebiscuit which is my first domain
scottywebdesign which is the domain I have just paid for
scottywebdesign.ittakesthebiscuit underneath! don't understand this one!

Select Add On Domain, not Sub Domain, but yes, it can take some time for the DNS to propagate. This isn't a VodaHost thing, it's an internet thing. Most times, it will happen very quickly, but there are times it can take several hours.

Ok, the addons page now has "current addon domains"
scottywebdesigns.co.uk (scottywebdesigns)

what should the boxes at the bottom read?

Re: Dummies guide needed!

I've just typed in the web addy (on the net) & it comes up with internal server error 500 can't find website, I assume this is normal at the moment?

Re: Dummies guide needed!

Yes. You can go ahead and publish pages to it, it'll be up soon. (Make sure the first page you publish to it is saved as 'index', just like on your original domain.)

Next issue!

When you publish a page on my new domain, I click publish in the file drop down menu, I assume I have to change something in the publish box as I have just tried to publish a coming soon index page & its wiped off my original index page off of my other site! I've sorted that by republishing it but how do I publish this new one?

[allstarfaces]

Re: Dummies guide needed!

when you publish like this yoursite/newsitesindex

[allstarfaces]

Re: Dummies guide needed!

so allstarfaces/thatgoodsite have you got it?

[It Takes The Biscuit]

Re: Dummies guide needed!

Not really!

in the publish box it has
username
password
ip address etc

then at the bottom it says public-HTML
