Hey lads,

I was giving a mate a hand with setting up a site today. He bought his domain 3 years ago, form blacknight. Its under the .ie TLD. He was gonna pay nearly a grand to a web dev, but I explained that that was unnecessary, he has very basic needs. We built up the base for the site in Freewebs, or Webs as its now called. All fine, contact form is a great plus for him.

The problem comes with pointing his domain at his freewebs site. Their site says to point blacknight at ns1 and ns2.webs.com. When we weant to do it though it failed, and from google it seems that there is some extra step when doing this with .ie. We could move the registration to webs, but that means faxing the IEDR or whatever they're called and loads of stress.

So, how is this done, I've not really worked with domains much myslef so I'm not exactly sure what I'm doing.

Thanks,
Lethal.

your easiest option is probably to log a support ticket with blacknight and have them to it for you. they also have a support forum here at boards http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?f=375

Cheers for that lads.

I read that page earlier actually, and this is the issue:

.....e be aware that .IE domains must be set up in the receiving nameservers before a change will be accepted for them. This is due to the Irish Domain Registry regulations.

I'll email Webs and ask them about the process for getting them to receive the DNS.
