Title: Domain parking
Post by: Erik on April 10, 2013, 04:32:37 pm

Hi,

Trying to change my domain and not sure if I've done something wrong. I'm using dot.tk's free DNS service for now until my site gets going.

I've set them to:
ns1.bcpc.tk - 184.171.171.98
ns2.bcpc.tk - 184.171.171.98
I haven't done this in a few years, have I done something wrong since now it's redirecting to the Create a Forum page that says "Hmmm, we can not find a forum with that address."
Should I have made the nameservers "bcpc.tk" and "www.bcpc.tk (http://www.bcpc.tk)" or is ns1 and ns2 what I'm supposed to put there? Thanks

On the domain manager page I set it to bcpc.tk
On dot.tk's website using A Record, I have as I posted above


ns1.bcpc.tk 184.171.171.98
ns2.bcpc.tk 184.171.171.98


Have I typed the correct thing and just need to wait?

http://bcpc.tk is returning a server not found result, and http://ns1.bcpc.tk and http://ns2.bcpc.tk is resulting in the Createaforum forum not found page. Just needs more time or am I setting something up wrong?

Doesn't seem pointed right
http://intodns.com/bcpc.tk

The domain needs to be to ns1.bcpc.tk and ns2.bcpc.tk

That's what I set them to.. I'm wondering if it might just take some more time. I can't log into dot.tk atm, they might be having some server issues or maintenance atm. I'll try again a little later.

Looks like you are missing the ip
http://intodns.com/thegamesco.tk
It says ns1 and ns2  but not ip for those nameservers!

You don't want to make a records but NS records check also custom dns in .tk

it will not let me get to my createaforum domain admin panel as it tried to go to the .tk address which isn't properly configured.
 the dot.tk admin panel says everything is properly configured. so i don't know what the problem is
