Hi, I just purchased a site with you guys for my existing domain registered at one.com - berecursive.com. I already have a site hosted there and am happy with that, but was keen to get some .NET hosting so I chose a site from you guys My problem, however, is trying to set up the DNS properly. Want I want to do is forward a subdomain from one.com to point to my hosting space here. I have pointed both a CNAME record as well as a 'Web Alias' (another setting they have) but neither seem to work properly. The CNAME does not work at all, it displays a page that says: Code: Web Page is Unavailable We are very sorry. The web page you are trying to reach is unavailable. Please contact the Website Administrator. We apologize for the inconvenience. I have pointed the CNAME to my secondary URL berecurs.w04.Winhost.com. The 'Web Alias' does work, however the site is hosted within a frame for some reason. When I click view source I see that it is in fact wrapped within a frame which I do not want to happen! Any ideas how I can get the CNAME working or get rid of that pesky framing of my site? Cheers
You will need to setup the subdomain as a domain pointer. This will create the host header for that subdomain name.
If i try and set up a domain pointer in my control panel to subdomain.berecursive.com it says domain name is invalid?
Not that I can see, if I select 'create' then it comes up with "Domain name is invalid." and no other message or prompt appears. If I click create again then the same things happens. I've tried this in both IE and Chrome and haven't had any success?
Since berecursive.com is an a domain name associated to an account try using the subdomain button instead of the domain pointer button.
