    addon domain with A record

    As long as the domain is added to your Byet account, that's perfectly fine. You will just need to point the domain using A records to the hosting server.

     

    Well I'm totally biased, but of course I would recommend tinkerhost.net (The hosting backend is the same as Byet, but it has a much better client area / interface). But if your domain is already connected to a byet account, I would not recommend switching, it would just make everything more difficult. 

     

    Probably correct. Without knowing your domain name I can't make a 100% sure statement.

     

    Incorrect. If the domain is connected to a byet account, you can ping the authoritative server that iFastNet uses to get it's IP.

    Can you answer these questions:

    What is the domain name?

    Is the domain connected to a Byet account?

    I will send you a private message.

    Thanks so much for offering to help! 🙂 Unfortunately, I already moved the nameserver back to my domain registrar. I needed to because I have email forwarding there, and it stopped working when I moved the nameserver to byethost. I don't care where the nameserver is, but my goal is to stay hosted on byethost (unless you have a better suggestion for a free host), and to also have email forwarding. So, I'm thinking the following (but please let me know if I am right).

    1. I am assuming that the only way to keep email forwarding is NOT to move the nameserver away from my registrar(who does email forwarding for free). It seems that moving the nameserver to bytehost broke my forwarding.

    2. I think the only way to ping the host would be for me to again (temporarily) move the nameserver back to byethost and then try pinging my domain name? Even though the domainname>hotdocs directory/domain files are still there, I assume there is no way to "ping" that without changing the nameserver back first?

    3. You said "doesn't always work". I assume you mean sometimes it just returns the ip of the "parent" server? If that's the case, is there any other way to accomplish what I want?

    Hi! Thanks so much for your reply. Not sure if I understand. My question is if I am NOT using byethost nameservers (switched back to my registrar as above). Then I need to create an A record at my registrar to point to my byethost shared ip/directory. How/where do I find the shared ip for my custom domain directory created on byethost? Thank you so much! 🙂 -Anna

    Where do you find the IP address of the server? What to list for the domain? Thanks so much! 🙂 -Anna
