Still working on migrating my various websites over to my new Deluxe hosting package at GoDaddy. So far so good with multiple domains that I own (both goDaddy registered domains and externally registered domains). As that went well, I thought it would be just as straight forward to host someone else's domain on my hosting account.
I simply asked the person who owned the domain to change their nameservers to goDaddy nameservers ns25.domaincontrol.com and ns26.domailcontrol.com. I then went into my hosting account and added a new folder and uploaded all their website files.
I then went to the Domain Management section within Hosting Control center and added the domain and selected the folder where the content was stored. Back at the list of domains I have hosted, this new domain is listed as pending.
After nearly 16 hours waiting, the list is still showin it at Pending. Surely it can't take that long.
I started to research to see how long it was taking other people. Up to 48 Hours :-(. But I realised I missed out step anyway, so it would have never of worked.
Since the domain is not owned by me (not in my GoDaddy Shopper acount) you have to get the owner to created/modify the domain's 'A' record to point to the IP address of your Hosting account.
The domain is still listed as Pending in Hosting Control Center, but I have more confidence that it will actually work once its finished transferring (or whatever it is its doing). lol.
This 48 hours waiting after each change is getting a bit too looonnng.
