I’m in no way a website designer or developer. All I wanted to do is create a simple landing page for an advertisement (using the website builder on the site) and publish it and it should be live.
This is now the 2nd free hosting service where it does not upload or publish the site I build and when I look for help, everyone is talking about uploading the website via FTP.
What website must I upload using FTP? I just created one using the built in website builder and as the service states: build your website and publish it and you’re done.
So whats the deal with having to upload files to FTP. What files? I created the site online?
PLEASE help needed to have this up 2 days ago already.
PS: when I go to http://www.airmauritiusnews.000webhostapp.com/ it still shows nothing. I noticed a directory with the same name as the site builder and in there there was alot of files and stuff (and index.php).
So I even tried moving them to the root of public_html but still nothing. What am I doing wrong help please
However, you have set your website to redirect to www, which is not possible. Please remove the redirect to www, access airmauritiusnews.000webhostapp.com and your website should load fine
UPDATE: I have corrected the redirect. Your website is loading fine now.
OK - so now I have an issue with DNS from my domain provider - THEY say this:
As the nameservers are pointing to remote, you need to contact the remote nameserver end to update DNS records. Please note that, even you are updating the DNS records via clientzone, it won’t be updated.
Which in my eyes is bull. I’ve done DNS myself plenty of times as we host multiple sites and the DNS records (A, CNAME and NS) need to point to YOU guys.
If I go to www.airmauritiusnews.co.za, it defaults to the incorrect www one…how can I fix this? I’ve got a CNAME record that says www.airmauritiusnews.co.za must point to http://airmauritiusnews.000webhostapp.com
JUST did that though so maybe I’m a bit hasty…it should work like that hey?
Interesting - our full websites hosted at Wix require all 3 (A record, NS and CNAME)?
Then I just a pointer to the MX record back to my domain hosting side for mails and they work.
@NGiNX Naked @ domain? like airmauritiusnews.co.za to the webhost address? I’ve got CNAME for that too but pointing so Mailchimp could authorise the domain
Anyway. It all seems to work OK, just when I put in www.airmauritiusnews.co.za then it comes up with the “there’s nothing there yet” page again
Where should the CNAME point? both from airmauritiusnews.co.za and www.air… to my webhost page addres right?
Waat. Now the redirect is back again (to http://www.airmauritiusnews.000webhostapp.com/
DNS propagation time can take up to 24 hours. Do a setting and just wait.
What must the A records point to (address)?
A record is taken from NSs. You don’t have to care about it.
Just go to your registrar cPanel and use NS01.000WEBHOST.COM and NS02.000WEBHOST.COM as Name Servers.
Then go to 000webhost cPanel > Set web address > Add domain > park domain > input your domain name
We checked and we failed to find any NS records for airmauritiusnews.co.za at the server -->ns01.000webhost.com<-- Please double check that you have entered the correct name server and you have correctly configured the server with for your domain
