I'm new to Zymic and really excited, this looks like exactly what I have been searching for. I am going to be moving a small-ish site over that up until yesterday I had on paid hosting...but due to the economic colapse and massive layoffs in California, I can't afford to pay for it anymore. So first of all THANK YOU - YOU'RE A LIFE SAVER!! lol

My only issue is moving the DNS...As you know NS changes usually take about 48 hours to propagate and I can't have my email offline for that space of time (thankfully I am still using the default Yahoo NS and not the ones for the paid provider I was with).

Can I simply change the a:name records to the ones for my new Zymic account or???

My Zymic subdomain is badave.uuuq.com

Thanks again!

(Oh, and for the record my site is a hobby and does not currently generate revenue, so no, I'm not going to be using your service for commercial purposes)

To be honest, I have no idea what you're talking about

But have you read this? Adding custom domains.

Hope it helps.

Thanks for trying, but no, that doesn't help. I want to use my domain without having to use Zymic's NameServers.

Normally, to do this, I'd just setup an a:name record pointing to the server's IP address, but I've had free hosts somehow block that in the past and don't want to go through the hassle if Zymic does the same thing; I'd just move on to the next free host if that is the case.

I'll try to hop on IRC later today and track someone down since posting on this forum is apparently getting me nowhere.

bump bump bump...no one ever seems to be alive on IRC...

Did you try #zymic? Or did you try #hosting? #hosting is recommended for specific questions regarding hosting accounts. Also, querying people and typing their nick completely often makes the IRC window flash even when they have the flash disabled for normal messages.
