Deleeted Posted November 11, 2006 Posted November 11, 2006 I bought a webhosting package about 2 months ago and i have not been able to figure out how to get a domain name!! Right now i can only access my site via IP address, could someone please tell me what i have to do to be able to access my site using my domain name. Quote
TCH-Don Posted November 12, 2006 Posted November 12, 2006 Welcome to the forums You can purchase a domain name anywhere or from TCH. After you get the domain name, if you buy it elsewhere you will need to log in where you buy the domain name and point it to the name servers in your welcome email. Then it may take up to 72 hours to update all the ISP name servers in the world. Quote
Deleeted Posted November 12, 2006 Author Posted November 12, 2006 I bought a domain at namecheap.com. I didn't know that those 2 addresses that started with dns1./dns2 were all i needed to enter. Also, if the domain i puchased is diffrent from the domain in the welcome email, will it work? Quote
TCH-Don Posted November 12, 2006 Posted November 12, 2006 Sure, just log in to your namecheap account and change the dns to the 2 in your welcome email and in a short while your domain name will resolve to your account. If it takes more than 72 hours open a help desk ticket (link at top of page) and ask the techs to check on it. If you mean you signed up with one name and then bought a different name open a help desk ticket to the techs and explain for user and password log-in at the help desk use the user / pass word in your welcome email for your account and use an email from your ISP or gmail or the like and check your spam folders if you have them. You will receive an auto email with a link to your ticket. Quote
