My first question is
When I orderd my VPS I also bought a domain name jchosting.co.uk from 123-reg
I got it with the intension of using it for the main VPS account thinking that when I orderd the VPS account it would ask me what domain name I would like to use. But it didnt.
So at the moment to log on to my WHM I have to typr the IP address along with the :2086 code. Is there any way I can set it up so I can just use the domain name i have just bought? If so laymans terms please peeps.
Generally a main domains is needed so we can set hostname for the vps. If 'jchosting.co.uk' is the domain, the hostname can be set as 'vps.jchosting.co.uk' & you can access your WHM with http://vps.jchosting.co.uk:2086. You can simply add jchosting.co.uk from your WHM & set the hostname.

My second question is
I have set up a package from the WHM and added an Account (I had a lil help from the suport team, thanks suppport team) but i was well chuffed with my self.
When i set it up it gave me all the info I needed to get to it using an IP

+===================================+

I pointed the domain name I want to use, from the control panel at 123-reg to the above name servers and its bee a good few hours now but the domainname is dead.
Do I have to set anything else in the WHM to tell it that the site is in my server if you know what I mean?

Thats it for now. fingers X I'll know what your telling me to do when / if you can help.
It seems the nameservers that you using for the domain nwbikersforum.co.uk are incorrect. Please check the correct nameservers in your welcome email & point your domains to those nameservers.
