Setting up DomainSponsor- I'm lost

Spaceship Spaceship

Ok, I decided to test out domain sponsor. But unlike DomainHop and Sedo, you can't just change the name servers. If I have a name at Enom that I want to park at DS, how do I do it? I can get as far as getting the linking code. Any help would be appreciated.

you can use URL forwarding ...

URL Forwarding Using Frames : If your registar allows you to forward domains to a URL using frames

Redirection using HTML : If you are hosting your domain and control the index file, simply copy and paste the code into index.html.

Manual Redirect :If your registar does not provide URL forwarding using frames and you cannot modify index.html, you can redirect each domain using the code by replacing "<DomainName.com>" with your domain name.

Where's the URL forwarding under Enom? I can't find it.

Select the domain you want to manage. Make sure you select eNom as your current service under "DNS Server" (you can choose between eNom and user).

Once you are using eNom's DNS, go to the "DNS Settings (Zone File)" section and choose CONFIGURE to edit your host settings. For DomainSponsor, I use this configuration:

Code:
[U]   Hostname    Record Type   Address      [/U] 
1)  www         URL Frame     http://your_domainsponsor_code
2)  @ (none)    URL Frame     http://your_domainsponsor_code
10) * (other)   URL Frame     http://your_domainsponsor_code

Change it so that you are using their nameservers. A easier way would be just to add the domain name to a cpanel account you have and forward it. I don't find the enom forwarding reliable :)
