i might buy a comedy domain name and point it here.

 

suppose our server has a shared ip though ... so it'd not work.

You are a gent. We are going to be in the hands of PB! Let's hope he doesn't use his newfound power for ill.

Haha. I will personally make amends if that happens. Then we'll have a Toytown theme.

I do that with my website, and it does work. You need to add showerofcunts.co.uk as a parked domain with tehforum.co.uk's control panel, and then, in the 123-reg panel, set the nameservers to be those of Teh's nameservers, and set the DNS of the domain to be whatever the IP you see when you type 'ping tehforum.co.uk' into the command prompt. It takes a couple of days to work, but it does.

yes.

 

i know.

 

i prefer to change the A record however, instead of the DNS.

 

i don't have access to the control panel/httpd.conf/whatever else places use here though ... so i can't fiddle with it and add comedy domain names i'm afraid, not without asking for help, which kind of ruins the point.

Would there be any benefit from changing the A record instead of the DNS?

um ...

 

i think it lets the email continue to be handled by the original ISP, just forwarding the http to the other place. ... but i may be wrong! and even if i'm not, i know you can do it with the mx thingy.

 

i guess it comes down to lazyness ....

 

in my case, it saves me setting up DNS servers. (on reflection ... this is the real reason!)

 

It would also be one thing to change instead of 2.
