Domain Pointing

Community support
#1

Just pointed my domain to my free web site. I am getting nowhere meaningful. The link is this:

http://mytechhelp.co.uk

It should point to my site at:

http://mytechhelp.site90.com/

Do I need to do anything in my cPanel? How will o0owebhost know where to go to?

Thanks.

Have you updated the nameservers? If yes give it time it can take up to 72 hours to fully “point” to your site.

#3

Yes I have. In my account there is only one server name so I created others as follows:

server17.000webhost.com
server16.000webhost.com
server15.000webhost.com
server14.000webhost.com

The first one is from my account details; others I have just made them up.

I hope this is OK.

000webhost nameservers:

Hint: none of the nameservers start with “server” :slight_smile:

#5

Now what does this mean?

I am sure there is something simple I am missing here. My servers are all OK
according to this record:

<http://webwhois.nic.uk/cgi-bin/webwhois.cgi?wvw7yesk=3hryr4hby3&wquery=mytechhelp.co.uk&submit=Lookup>

Surely, by just entering the server names, it is not going to find my website unless I also enter my domain name on the server.

You updated the nameservers today? Just a case of waiting for propagation around the www
That’s all that’s needed to find your site on the server.

Hello,

In addition to setting up your domain to point to 000webhost nameservers, you must associate your external domain to your subdomain within 000webhost.

This can be done from your Control Panel in 000webhost subdomain, option “Parked Domains”

Thank you. this is exactly what I wanted to know. Simply entering the name servers wouldn’t have worked because thousands of people are using the same servers and so associating one sub domain to the domain is also essential!!!.

Thank you and this should now work because 000webhost knows my [URL=“http://mytechhelp.site90.com”]sub-domain and my top-level domain.

HI There

I am unable to find the subdomain section or the area in order for me to set my external domain to. I can log into godaddy and set the dns however I dont see any area within the control panel that will allow me to set the domain up on this end

thanks for the help

#11

Have you parked your domain from the control panel? If not you need it first:

#12

Hi there.

My control panel does not have that setting available to me. I dont have a domains section, I have tried to find it an unable to/

Thanks

Can you post a screenshot of your Control Panel for us to see it. It looks like that your control Panel is different from mine or that new users are not allowed to attach a domain. Post a screenshot so that we can move forward from there.

Here is the screenshot.

i’m trying to update the A record on godaddy to point to the correct ip for the naked domain, but the new GUI doesn’t show it anywhere! i got desperate and used the ip from running the ping command on my server - that wasn’t helpful at all. any suggestions?

#17

New GUI does not have IP address because there is no IP address. Now 000webhost is using load balancers and you need to point CNAME record to your website. You can follow this tutorial to get this started.

thanks, andrius, but i’ve done all that and www.domain-name.com works perfectly. that’s why i specified that i need help with the naked domain, ie http://domain-name.com .

Hi Andrius. I have my domain with namecheap and I followed the steps in your tutorial.
if I type www.pavelralev.com in my browser it takes me to the correct website but the url changes to https://pavelralev.000webhostapp.com/. Is there any way i can prevent that?

#21

make sure your php code does not do that redirect. because i am pretty sura that this redirect is doen by your website itself

Thank you for pointing that out, that was the source of the problem and is now solved by adding define(‘WP_HOME’,‘http://www.pavelralev.com’);
define(‘WP_SITEURL’,‘http://www.pavelralev.com’);

in the index.php file.
