JesseD Posted October 16, 2003 Posted October 16, 2003 Hi everyone, This is not a pre-sales question in the sense that I've already purchased a hosting plan from you. But I am considering registering a second domain through TCH (and didn't want to start a support ticket for a non-urgent issue) so I hope this qualifies. I've read the frequently asked questions board and on the subject of domain parking, and it says that as long as a new doman is going to point to exactly the same page as your primary domain, it's free to park it. Correct? What if the domain name that I signed up with is not configured with TCH's nameservers yet? Is it still allowed to park a different domain, or would I need to wait until the original domain's nameserver info is actually updated before I could park a second one? Here's a little more detail on the situation (hopefully not too much detail ): I'm having a very difficult time updating the nameserver information for the domain name that I listed when opening my account with TCH. The domain management tool at my old web host is broken -- or purposely disabled, I haven't figured out which yet. And despite my best efforts I have so far failed to pry any information out of them as to how I am supposed to access my domain name now, in order to update the namserver information. My next step is going to be to simply initiate the process of transferring the domain from their registrar to TCH, and give up on trying to update the nameserver info until the transfer is complete. But given the level of support I'm receiving from the old host on this issue so far, I honestly don't know if they'll cooperate with the transfer in a timely manner. I don't want to have to point my site's users to an obscure IP address (or a long server40.totalchoicehosting.com address) any longer than I have to. So I was considering registering a second domain name with TCH, to point to my new TCH site. At least that way my visitors would have a domain name to use while I wait for things to get straightened out with the original domain. Is this allowed under the domain parking policy, or can I only park a second domain after the first has been set up with the proper nameserver information? Thanks in advance for any information.

JesseD Posted October 16, 2003 Author Posted October 16, 2003 indeed! I'll get with some of my site's users and see if we can't agree on a good name for a new domain. Thank you for the quick response! Quote
TCH-JimE Posted October 16, 2003 Posted October 16, 2003 No worries. What might be better, is that with your new domain name, you ask for it to be made the "main domain name" rather then parking it. Then you can sort out the problems with your old domain, and once thats over, just park it ontop instead. Jim Quote
JesseD Posted October 16, 2003 Author Posted October 16, 2003 If I can do that too, then that's what I'll do. Thanks again. Quote
TCH-JimE Posted October 16, 2003 Posted October 16, 2003 No worries, glad to be of help, hope you get that domain transfer sorted out ok! Jim Quote
