How to configure DNS Server to redirect to IP address?

yu asked:

Hi, I am trying to set up a webpage under my domain.

I have purchased a domain
I have set up an index page
I think I have set up a DNS server (With Windows Web Server 2003)

When I use network tools to trace DNS server on my website, it returns with:

Retrieving DNS records for Domain.com…

DNS servers
n1.Domain.com [Server IP]
n2.Domain.com [Server IP]
ns1.Domain.com [Server IP]
ns2.Domain.com [Server IP]

Answer records
Domain.comNSgwp.dns3600s
Domain.comSOA
server:gwp.dns
email:hostmaster@dns
serial:2
refresh:900
retry:600
expire:86400
minimum ttl:3600
360

Problem is, when I try to open the website, it doesn’t connect
When I try using anonymouse, it returns an either Error Timeout, or

Unable to determine IP address from host name

The DNS server returned:

Server Failure: The name server was unable to process this query.

Any ideas? Thanks!
P.S. I can’t manage to get the Active Directory working due to the fact that Web Server edition’s lack in DCPROMO

Oh, the name of the jargon that describes the address to forward would be most helpful, there are just sooo many I.P. Address fields.
Oh, on a side note, if I type in my I.P. Address, it does open the web page
Also, I am Hosting the DNS server on the same computer as my Web Server.

2fly1 asked:

The problem: Low traffic to parked names. ** Is there a company out there that will send traffic to parked domains without violating T.O.S ** All the ones I see are from pop-ups, pop-unders, banners, links or redirected. I was just about to purchase some expired domain traffic but remembered reading that traffic cannot be redirected and all this traffic is easily detected by using the same referrer since they all direct it through there servers.***** Not trying to cheat the system, Not wanting clicks just unique ip’s and referrers from North America.** Have money to invest in my own servers or what ever it takes. Would love to contact the person that can help.

How can I purchase an already taken domain name?

Melissa T asked:

I want to purcahse a domain name but it is already in use. There is nothing on the website though. It re directs you to some other site so techinally, you can’t even pull up the domain I want to buy. The website it re-directs you too, also has nothing on it.

I checked under WhoIs but it’s registered privately under www.domainsbyproxy.com. So I can’t get any contact information.

The website it brings you too hasn’t been updated since 2007 same with the website I am interested in buying.

I found out it will expire in Jan 2009. How can I go about getting it?

Also.. I found this on it’s registered host godaddy.com . Not sure what it means..

Registry Status: clientDeleteProhibited
Registry Status: clientRenewProhibited
Registry Status: clientTransferProhibited
Registry Status: clientUpdateProhibited

Does this mean it will never be up for grabs??

Stacy asked:

The whole ordeal. Im so frustrated and feel real stupid asking for advice :].. I have a brother who has a website ATVBAJATOURS.com and we wanted to start a new webite, so on Officelive I ceated one Atvbajatours.net. Im still constructing and learning since its the first ever to attempt making one. Our plan was to transfer the Domain name ATVBAJATOURS.com to ATVBAJATOURS.NET. so we could keep the name. So I go to find out that atvbajatours.com is going to expire and the account was with Network solutions under the mans name my brother inlaw pays monthly to host the webpage. I called him and he tells me that yes he h0sts the website through his company Hostmaster@SIXTHWEB.COM said he has nothing to do with the domain name. hes primary contact and I cant tranfer it unless he authorizes it.. he told me that since (Not enough Characters to finsh this emai) any one who could help me and listen to the rest email me and I will finish the story stacyinjamul@yahoo.com PLEASE HELP
The website was not viewable since it expired and we had a hard time getting in contact with the man. Network solutions extented there services until i was able to contact him. Long story short. The guy said we owed him for the past month of charges which is 50.00 for the hosting. (my bro in law has been paying since 1998 50.00 a month). He said he just does the hosting for greg and his article is in atvconnections. Well I paid the late charges for the past month and the renewal fees for 35.00 a year for the domain knowing the site has been up for auction.I told him the site no longer needs to be hosted by him and that when he became a ***. He said in one breath that he has nothing to do with the domain name and i said the operater from Network solutions told me that I cant get on the site unless he gives permisson. he said he wasn’t going to give permission and was going to sell the domain name. What Can I do? what some examples of hosts. How much do they cost. What does it i

Lost a domain name. Is it legal?

RoundheadA7 asked:

A client of mine did not keep an eye on his domain name. It expired and within a couple days, some entity snapped it up. He’s a musician (not a big name, but trying) and needs it, and the domain was his name, so it’s not like this company can use it. They grabbed it so they could be there when he needed it back. I’ve heard of this happening…is it legal? I’m afraid his options are limited.

A question about domain names?

Monday 14 September 2009 @ 2:25 am

Nathan asked:

If a domain name has been parked for a couple of years and is due to expire, how long after that expiry date will it take for that name to become available for purchase? I’m waiting for an expiry date but have been alerted by another user who is also trying to purchase a name. The domain name he wants has expired and it’s not available to him.
So I’m wondering if I’m going to have the same problem. How long can a company withold the sale of a domain name after expiry?
Thanks for your answers. I can’t choose BA here, I’ll leave it for the vote, thanks again.
