So I have a domain with .co.cc, the domain is: http://www.messenger2.co.cc.
At first I set the Manage DNS (where you can alter the Name Servers) to ns1.smokyhosts.net | ns2.smokyhosts.net and all worked great.
Unfortunately ZetaBoards requires me to use CNAME's in order to use my own domain for the forums. Whether this is by design of .co.cc or it's how DNS works; I had to replace Name Servers with CNAME's in order to do this.
For those unfamiliar with the Domain Management of .co.cc it looks like this:
Anyway, I set the CNAME's as instructed here and now http://forums.messenger2.co.cc works, but http://www.messenger2.com doesn't.
Is there a way I can have the best of both worlds? i.e. Be able to have http://www.messenger2.co.cc work as it would under Name Server settings and have forums.messenger.co.cc work for the ZetaBoards forum
Some notes:
- I am aware that cPanel comes with free bulletin board software (e.g. phpBB) but I do not wish to use these since I am not experienced with them.
- I do not wish to do any redirecting either. Just plain and simple domains. forums.messenger2.co.cc = My Forums on ZetaBoards | messenger2.co.cc = ROOT of my hosting account (where basically jason.thesmokylounge.com would take you)
P.S - I hope everyone is OK and I intend on being more active soon after College is over in a few weeks.
