Web Redirection Address...

[Typhoon]

I have just joined to host our web site. I have published it to my space (VS 2005) to httpdocs directory and can preview the web site hosting through the sitepreview in the control panel (all good so far!!!). However....I already had a domain name registered (cometracer.co.uk) and I wanted to redirect this to my web web site hosting hosted here. The ony way I could do this was to redirect using http://91.186.30.8/$sitepreview/cometracer.co.uk/. Would this be the correct method? It didn't seem right to me but got the web web site hosting up and running...do I need to do anything else? There didn't seem any quick setup guides for this kind of situation.

Hi,

Your domain 'cometracer.co.uk' is registered at Fasthosts Internet Ltd.
Fasthosts Internet Ltd [Tag = FASTHOSTS]URL: http://www.fasthosts.co.uk

Check the same here :
http://webtools.eukhost.com/domain_whois.php

You'd need to login to the domain registrar control panel [here] & change the domain's Name Servers to point to our [win9.eukdns.com & win10.eukdns.com].
Please open up a ticket with our support dept [windows@eukhost.com] if you have any further queries. You'd receive a faster response there

Thanks for the reply...

I have updated the named servers. I still have the redirection in place...what address do I now need to enter? or can this now be blank?

No need to get the web site hosting redirected, it'd directly start working as http://cometracer.co.uk once the DNS has propagated. Please setup the domain as 'Physical hosting' in the hosting setup. Once done, login to the FTP & upload your webiste content into the 'httpdocs' folder. Let us know if you have any further questions.
