DNS 'A Record', Parked domain in cPanel?

Hi all,
I have a domain name and the current set up is that the MX record points to my domain name provider's mail server, and the A record currently refers to another web host...
I would like to change the A Record's IP address to x10, and then (I guess... kinda new to all this!) add my domain to the list of Parked Domains? First day using cPanel and there are many options :eek4:
Also, is there any reason to keep both the www and public_html directories?

Congrats on being top of the www.free-webhosts.com list of free web hosts btw

Sharky :biggthump
Edit:
Ok, I pinged the x10hosting subdomain name I registered, and have changed the A record at 1&1 (my domain name provider) to point to that... I hope this is the right thing to do!

 

Hmm, I've not done it right. That, or something has to be done to /etc/ips.remotedns ...

Comes up with an error from "park wrapper":

Any advice?

Edit:

There's something on the account page to use own domain, however there is some kind of error so clicking on Confirm Domain doesn't do anything.

Edit:
Hmm... 1and1 have finally finished updating the IP address, and it shows a "Your account is suspended" page.... (My account is not suspended ) http://74.86.133.216/

 

PM'd

Thanks again


Edit:

Excellent, sorted

Thanks, Corey :bowdown: If I'm ever in New Hampshire I owe you a pint... or two :biggrin:
