    Cannot change main domain

    Ok heres the deal. I origanally had my site hosted here with the main domain as http://theartistsconnection.org. Then i moved to another host and changed my nameservers to theirs at godaddy but forgot to change my main domain here.

    Even though i changed the nameservers my domain was still going to the account here so i changed my main domain here to yearlyhostingplan.com.

    Then because of problems with the other host i want to host here again so i went back to godaddy and changed the nameservers to the x10hosting.com nameservers then tried to change my main domain back to http://theartistsconnection.org but it says domain is already in use.

    Then i tried to change my main domain to theartistsconnection.elementfx.com and it said it was successful but to FTP i have to use ftp.yearlyhostingplan.com and it still wont let me change it back to http://theartistsconnection.org.

    Then i made an addon domain with http://theartistsconnection.org and it seems to work but i beleive that will cause me problems with search engines and stuff in the future and i dont want anybody able to reach my site with any other domain besides http://theartistsconnection.org.

    Before i made the addon domain i deleted the subdomains i had in cpanel but they still show in my x10 control panel.

    Soooo bottom line is i want my main domain here to be http://theartistsconnection.org

    thanx, c. keith helms

    Re: Cannot change main domain

    I removed the erroneous entries from your x10 account panel, so you should be able to set theartistsconnection.org as your main domain by following these steps:
    1. remove that domain from your addon domains
    2. make sure that the removal properly shows up on the x10 account panel (if it still says it is an addon domain even though cpanel says it is not, post back and let me know)
    3. try to change your main domain to theartistsconnection.org, and let me know if you run into problems (include any error codes you encounter)

    I tried to delete the addon domain in cpanel and it gave an error saying you do not have rights to that domain but when i go back to the main addon page to try again it shows no domains. The addon still shows in x10 control panel

    Ok I got it. Thanks!

    Everything is correct in my account panel and cpanel and i can FTP with ftp.theartistsconnection.org.

    openDNS is saying the nameservers are failing but i assume that is because the domain is not resolved yet. If its not up in 24-48 hrs ill reply to this thread.

    Again, THANX!
