I've been searching for a low-cost domain host.
Seems like I'm getting close.
www.AffordableHosting.com looked good, but they don't support having the domain
registered elsewere - and I'm paid up with Network Solutions through 2007.
www.discount-hosting.com is my current attempt - thanks Brucie.
Yesterday I changed my 'A' record at Network Solutions to point to the
discount-hosting's IP addr, but discount-hosting doesn't seem tb seeing it yet.
Aside from the 72-hours everybody says to wait, one other thing occurred to me:
discount-hosting's setup page contains the following statement:
---------------------------------------------
Required configuration:
Primary DNS: ns1.discount-hosting.com (IP: 216.167.108.246)
Secondary DNS: ns2.discount-hosting.com (IP: 80.247.224.131)
Tertiary DNS: ns3.slconseil.com (IP: 64.23.82.52)
---------------------------------------------
However, since I'm keeping my email at Cotse.net, I'm not using Network
Solution's "DNS" page. Instead, I'm using their "A" record page and that only
seems to allow a single IP address for each type of reference ('www', '@ (none)'
and '* (all others'.
Could discount-hosting be tripping over this? i.e. technically their 'Required
configuration' asks for three addresses, not just one.
To that end, I just re-updated my "A" record page so that 'www' uses the primary
IP, '@' uses the secondary, and '*' uses the tertiary.
Is there any hope here? Should I keep on waiting or try another host?
