Domain Purchased?

Category: FAQ   Time: 2010-02-06   Tags: ,

Okay, it might sound silly to ask this, but I purchased a domain name through godaddy and now I need guidance.
When I visit the domain I purchased it says “free parking by godaddy”. Do I need to do anything special to the website? I know very little about this so I need to make sure I do everything right. Also, I don’t want anyone to “hack” my domain.
I have no intentions to put up a webpage yet, but where can I go to learn how to operate a website.
Any and all help is appricated. Thanks

    Don’t worry, you’re fine, your domain is not hacked.
    By default, after you bought a domain, it is redirected to Godaddy parking zone.
    If you want to have special website, first find a hosting company. After that, you’ll get an IP.
    Log on to your godaddy account, click on your domain name, click on Total DNS Control and MX Records, and change the @ and www record to point to your new IP.

    Your domain name currently points to the servers of godaddy.com wherefore the godaddy parking service is displayed when you access the page (default setting).
    Parking services offer you to point your domain to a specific server and in return earning money.
    If you don’t have a webpage yet, you can leave the page as it is. Enter the admin area on godaddy.com to manage the parking service.
    If you want to point your domain name to another server (to your website), you first have to change the nameserver entries on godaddy.com (admin area) to the nameservers of your webhoster. If you don’t know this information, contact your hosting provider.
    Also, you have to ask your webhoster to add the pointing for your domain name on his own servers.
