I’ve had it done before on other websites where I have hosting with one place and a domain from another, the host had its own URLs but when I pointed my domain there they turned into URLs from my domain.
Like I should be able to access my Wordpress dashboard from mydomain.com/wp-admin but I can’t.
Could it be because my domain link is new? Its been about 24hrs since I started on everything.
I also at first had to link my domain as a parked domain, let my domain host calibrate the cname from changing the DNS (couldn’t do it manually), then deleted it and linked it as a pointed domain link by the cname record. Im not sure if that has affected anything.
I checked after you posted this, and it still wasn’t working on my custom domain.
I decided to give it a few days, maybe to callibrate or something. Now, I cant even access the website from my custom domain. It keeps saying cant find server.
Thanks. I just tried this and it is already set to my domain.
On my phone, it says it’s a DNS error. I check my DNS settings and it’s the correct ones. Should I try contacting the company that I have my domain with?
I just went ahead and called…1and1 said everything is fine on their end and that with the hosting it’s not getting something for the A record or it’s showing there’s no IP address?? Idk I didn’t really follow what he was trying to say. Now it’s becoming stuff I don’t understand lol.
Should I try unlinking my domain in the cpanel and relink it?
There no way for me to edit the cname on 1and1. It only lets me edit the nameservers and you can edit the cname for a subdomain, that’s it
When I first tried to link my domain it wouldn’t link. It kept saying I needed to update the cname and I couldn’t do it I just did the nameservers and hoped maybe it would calibrate something with the cname. So instead of linking the domain as a pointed address, I parked it. Then it finally let me link my domain and on my backend of 000webhost it says it’s linked by the cname.
