noob-alert :-| I'm confused by the instructions for dns

[kaoticax]

in x10's great tutorial:
https://community.x10hosting.com/threads/the-how-to-get-your-own-domain-for-free-tk.171405/

I'm trying to point my new .tk domain (kaotica.tk) at my new x10 site kaotica.x10.mx
<snip>

1. write your x10hosting url in the url box only everything before 10x
2. Select use DNS write the nameservers for x10: ns2.x10hosting.com and ns1.x10hosting.com each in a separate box

</snip>
but I can't figure out, after selecting "Use DNS", whether to use 'DotTK DNS Service' or 'Your Own DNS';
when I try the former I get "This IP address is not valid" when I put "ns1.x10hosting.com". not sure what to put for "Server Name" or "IP Address" if I select "Your Own DNS".

Thoughts anyone?

cheers

solved: enter the two nameservers ns2.x10hosting.com and ns1.x10.hosting in the "Server Name" fields; leave the IP Address boxes empty - actually figured it out by getting out a magnifying glass and looking at point (2.) above ;-)

uhhh maybe not:
This webpage is not available

The server at www.kaotica.tk can't be found, because the DNS lookup failed :-(

Have you added the domain as an addon or parked domain in your x10 cPanel?

Thank you,

 

[kaoticax]

ahhh tks; I registered "kaotica.tk" from the cPanel here:

https://level.x10hosting.com:2083/cpsess7104438663/frontend/x10x3/park/index.html

and now instead of hanging, my browser redirects here: https://x10hosting.com/website-coming-soon

one presumes that when the redirect filters thru the net this will work? Seems better than 'hanging' already

It looks good to me. Have you tried clearing your browser's cache?

 

[kaoticax]

it is working now, tks @garrett and @william. cheers -kt

one more question: I generated a 'contact email' wi/in x10's system for x10 to reach me:

kt@kaotica.x10.mx

where do I go to check this? I know where to go to add more addresses etc.:

https://level.x10hosting.com:2083/cpsess6618221198/frontend/x10x3/index.html

but I can't recall reading where to go to log in to a webmail interface for the purpose of checking emails ?!?! tks in advance -kt
