Title: domain help again please
Post by: shell on April 23, 2013, 11:25:29 am
this is from the hlep i am getting with CSS about domain name
What they should have done is to rename your virtual host, which is still autismandaspergersinthefa.createaforum.com, and provide for a mod rewrite to redirect to your current name.
You don't really need to know any of the details, but you should contact your host and ask them to make the changes. They are using the Apache web server, so it should be a trivial task; much simpler, really, than doing the frameset rigamarole.
Until you can get that done, or find that they won't do it, we won't know where to start.
cheers,
can you help with this

hi
both me and godaddy could not get it to work,in the end godaddy had to mask it
i sent godaddy this guide and they said it was wrong
and just to add godaddys nameserver option does not ask for host ip,i think they may have changed it since this guide was done
