All I need is a 123reg username to transfer to at the mo cos I just got the 60 day reminder & forgot it was me who had bought it.
It runs out on the 22nd september so ample time to deliberate the couple of quid to renew it :)
i might buy a comedy domain name and point it here.
suppose our server has a shared ip though ... so it'd not work.
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.
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.
