Set up hosting #40

Closed vmbrasseur closed 10 years ago

vmbrasseur commented 10 years ago

I need to direct the stepze.ro DNS to point to Dreamhost. This is a pre-req to getting a listserv set up.

Okay, I done some research and it appears all I need to do is to set the DNS on the stepze.ro domain to the Dreamhost DNS servers. I don't think it's much more complicated than that. Once that's done I'll be able to host this on my Dreamhost account and set up the listserv.

Problem at the stepze.ro registrar:

X Zone Check Failure The name servers you selected have failed a zone check. Most registries require that your domain be configured on the name server before your domain may be changed to use these name servers.

So it looks like I have to set up hosting on Dreamhost first, THEN change the DNS.

! Success! "stepze.ro" has been added to our hosting system!

Since it takes some time for new DNS information to propagate, it may take up to a few hours for your new domain to start working.

Current status: waiting for DNS propagation.

DNS changed at stepze.ro registrar.

I believe I can now consider this issue as complete.

NOTA BENE: Additional network config changes will be needed once we're ready to go live on Github Pages. That might be trickier, since I'll need the listserv to stay on Dreamhost but the page hosting to be at github.io. I'll figure that out later.
