Domains Names Not With Tch

[erisande]

I am a (very recent, happy) TCH customer.

 

I signed up for silver hosting to put up a website for a client of mine and while I was at it, purchased a personal domain name. Problem is, I didn't read the fine print about not pointing domain names to sub-domains. *Duh* Hence, the delima. Here are the stats: (names changed to protect us dweebs)

 

personal.com : Domain Name and webspace with TCH.

coolsite.com : Domain Name with NetworkSolutions.

 

Desired effect: the coolsite.com domain name to point to my TCH space. This can be done with WebForwarding pointing coolsite.com to personal.com, but is that appropriate protocols for TCH?

 

I keep hearing about parking one domain or another then switching DNS server names, but I am not sure how that works either. It all seems vague and unclear when I read those messages.

 

I am not sure what I am going to do with personal.com at this time. It seems all it can do is point to the exact same site. I wish I would have been a better reader.

 

Any suggestions on how to properly get the desired effect?

 

Thanks!

You can forward the coolsite.com domain from network solutions to your personal.com domain.

why don't u park the domain ?

That is another part I should have asked in the question.

 

1) WHICH domain do I park?

2) What does that mean?

3) Does it affect any other part of how I connect to TCH (CPANEL, FTP, etc)

 

Thanks for such responses! I already love it here, I am just trying to learn a few more things.

Ok, I got information on parking a domain.

 

So on CPanel, I could Manage Parked Domains,

Add www.coolsite.com to parked domains...

 

Cool.

 

www.coolsite.com is registered with NetworkSolutions (It is the group I am doing work for). What do I have to do at the NS site? Just edit the DNS listing?

 

Thanks for everyone's help!
