Z3NiTH Posted August 25, 2009 Posted August 25, 2009 In addition to an earlier question regarding parking a .nl domain on top of my existing .com domain (http://www.totalchoicehosting.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=11936) here a new question. I have a virtual hosting plan (Silver) at TCH in combination with a .com domain name. At this time I'm thinking of changing the .com domain name to a .nl domain name. I understand that this should be possible if I can point the DNS nameservers of my .nl domain to the TCH nameservers. Does this also ensure that I'm able to check the e-mail from e.g. user@dutchdomain.nl through the TCH webmail interface? Am I able to define e-mail aliases/forwarders as I could do for my .com domain name? Or does this involve additional actions with respect to the .nl domain? Kind regards, Z3NiTH Quote
TCH-Bruce Posted August 25, 2009 Posted August 25, 2009 Yes, you can and you need not do anything except point the nameservers to the ones you are currently using. Quote

OK, thanks for the prompt reply. Regarding the transfer from my .COM to a .NL domain (and parking the .COM domain on the same content for as long as it's registered): can I do this myself e.g. via Cpanel? Or how do I initiate this process? Quote
TCH-Thomas Posted August 26, 2009 Posted August 26, 2009 The parking of the domain on top of the other needs to be done by the helpdesk. Quote
Z3NiTH Posted September 8, 2009 Author Posted September 8, 2009 The parking of the domain on top of the other needs to be done by the helpdesk. I've recently purchased a .NL domain in combination with the management via DNS tools. I would like to link this domain to my current TCH hosting plan and park the existing .COM domain on top of the .NL domain. How should I proceed? Quote
TCH-Alex Posted September 8, 2009 Posted September 8, 2009 How should I proceed? Just post a ticket to our help desk [link on my signature] so that we can park the domain for you. Quote
Z3NiTH Posted September 8, 2009 Author Posted September 8, 2009 I'm a bit confused after reading this topic: http://www.totalchoicehosting.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=38290 Is there a difference between parking my .nl domain on my .com domain that's currently hosted by TCH, and parking my existing .com domain on my new .nl domain? My intention is to use the .nl domain name as the default, i.e. I want to be able to handle website traffic / subdomains / webmail accounts / mail forwarding / etc. like it is currently possible for my .com domain. As long as I've registered my .com domain I want it to point at the same web content as my .nl domain, but I have the intention to stop the registration of the .com domain when it expires. As I'm quite a newbie when it comes to domains, I currently think this is the way to proceed: 1) point the nameservers of my .nl domain to ns1.totalchoicehosting.com and ns2.totalchoicehosting.com 2) submit a ticket to park my .com domain on top of my .nl domain 3) configure my .nl domain related e-mail through the www.mydomain.nl/cpanel interface Am I correct?

TCH-Thomas Posted September 8, 2009 Posted September 8, 2009 You are correct. While I don´t think this matter, you could always tell the techs which one you want as "default". When propagation for the new domain has finished go to the new_domain.nl/cpanel and configure the new email addresses etc. Quote
