In need of a web hoster

yola.com? They don't look like a domain name registrar to me...

Okay here's what I redid:
1. Made a Johnny account on HelioHost
2. Rerouted the Yola account to Johnny by entering NS stuff
3. Awaiting confirmation of the 24 hours
4. Gives link http://www.(website).com/cpanel

I am wondering if #4 happened to you all

[cucumberdude]

http://www.yola.com/ is not a registrar as far as I can tell. What are you using it for?

Showing off my stuff (eg pictures, articles about life) like a blog but more pro

So what exactly are you talking about nameservers on Yola?

I have the account on Yola, and in order to host it somewhere else (Helio) I have to do a nameserver redirect.


If this gets way too complicated and I'm walking in the wrong direction please let me know so I can cancel everything and start over.

I'm not really sure what you are using Yola for - but you're probably doing it wrong.

What you need to do is get a domain name registrar (like namecheap.com) to register your domain (indyjones.com for example). You'll need to point the nameservers of the namecheap domain at the helios hosting's name servers.

Yola is what namecheap is

Ok. In that case, if you have set the nameservers up correctly, it should be working.

host it yourself and buy a domain?
