    Cool Help setting up my hosting with my .com domain

    Hi I recently bought a .com domain for the first time and would like to know how to set it up with my free hosting. I'm new to this so I'm confused. Can someone help me fill out these fields?



    Thanks

    You shouldn't manually set the IP addresses for your domain name as they might change at some point. Start with the X10 wiki article "How to Use Your Own Domain".

    Be sure to read all pages linked in this post; they have further information that should prove useful. When asking for help, make sure you follow Eric Raymond's and Jon Skeet's guidelines for prompt, accurate responses. Please answer any questions I ask; they're not rhetorical (probably).

    I checked out the link and set up a parked domain. I've also used x10hostings name servers but I still don't know what to put in for the Hostname fields. I've tried using my x10hosting URL for the fields but they don't work.

    Anyone have an answer? This task should be easy but is really giving me a head ache.

    Have you tried using the wildcard (*) as it suggests in the instructions in your screenshot? That will forward both yourdomain.com and www.yourdomain.com, as well as email (the @ in the screenshot) to the x10hosting nameservers.

    Wow. Thank you so much. After two hours of frustration it comes to an end all because of you.

    Thanks again.
