OneRedLT4 Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 Ok, I did a search and didn't see this question asked yet. My uncle has three parked domain names here and would like them forward to his existing site hosted somewhere else. I purchased the names for him, so they're in my domain manager. When trying to set up the forwarding, it says I don't have any credits. Where do I purchase these credits? I need to weigh the cost of the credits and compare it to the cost of upgrading his hosting plan (not as good as TCH!) and advise accordingly. Thanks.

btrfld Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 On the TCH Domain Manager site, right under the sun, hover over My Domains. At the bottom of the drop-down list it says 'Forwarding and Masking'. Click on that and all will be revealed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneRedLT4 Posted March 21, 2006 Author Share Posted March 21, 2006 So simple yet... I'm assuming since it has a "quantity" text box, that one purchase allows forwarding for one domain? Thanks for the "redirect" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneRedLT4 Posted March 25, 2006 Author Share Posted March 25, 2006 (edited) So, I know that it hasn't been 24 hours, but just in case, I thought I'd ask. The names were purchased and parked. Then, while trying to get the names going to this site, I went to them (the other hosting company) and got the information as to what DNS information to put in my domain manager. I did it, researched it, and now realize that it's more frugal to go throught TCH (duh!) and purchase the forwarding credits. I did that, but I had changed the DNS info. I changed them to the "Default Parked Name Servers." Is this correct? thanks Jim Edited March 25, 2006 by OneRedLT4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCH-Andy Posted March 25, 2006 Share Posted March 25, 2006 If I understand what you've done, then yes, that's the correct way to set it with the forward and the "Default Parked Name Servers". The alternative would be a reseller plan, then you can host them all here easily Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneRedLT4 Posted March 25, 2006 Author Share Posted March 25, 2006 Thanks, the info in the three server text boxes, look different from when the names were purchased. As of now, they still don't forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneRedLT4 Posted March 27, 2006 Author Share Posted March 27, 2006 So, what have I done wrong? I attached the screen shot of the domain manager. The forward to address is correct. Any thoughts as to why it's not forwarding? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCH-Bruce Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 You have all four nameservers listed. You need to use either the NS1/NS2 or DNS3/DNS4 and not all four. Open a ticket with the help desk and they will tell you the correct pair to use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
