RE: FN-FORUM: 1&1 uk domain hosting

1&1 don't let you do anything with dns, you'll have to transfer to
domain. You should be able to do domain forwarding through their control
panel though. And good luck if you decide to ring them, you'll be on the
phone for ages!

Subject: FN-FORUM: 1&1 uk domain hosting



a friend/client (well, i'll call him a friend until his starts paying
me :)) has registered a domain via 1&1 uk. he wants that to point at a
holding page i've thrown together. he hasn't got(/doesn't appear to)
have any hosting package at 1&1.

i can't make head nor tail of 1&1's support pages, and since i think
they get mentioned here a fair bit, I thought i'd ask here, before
trying 1&1's support...

i'd prefer to host this site myself, so, ideally i want the dns
modified to point to my box. it's not immediately obvious to me how to
do this. is it possible though 1&1, or do i need to transfer the domain
away from them?

in the interests of getting it up quickly (fnarr!), i tried to upgrade
his package to include some hosting, but it told me the account had
already been modified/upgraded this month, and i'd have to wait. what?
they don't want me (well, his) money? fools.

*sigh*

i'm offering a chocolate bar[1] as reward for any useful advice.
