I think you made the right choice, I am used to people who are starting out asking me questions.
Warez can pretty much be a dangerous game, although it is only usually dangerous when the website gets to become very large 40,000 uv's or more a day, I would consider that somewhat large or when it comes to hosting illegal files (which I do not allow on the server).
I have found that most people prefer to chose Namecheap for warez-linking domains although, I believe no domain registrar is safe due to what happened with megaupload.
yea I did a wee bit of reading and quickly decided Namecheap was for me
I don't plan on hosting anything but text on my website
the wares will be on sites like Netload
it's been a long time since I setup a domain name but all they asked for was 4 name servers (your site only has 2)
shouldn't there be something more to put in ?
like an IP address
also when setting up on your site I used .com (think it was the only option there)
but on Namecheap I used .nl (was way cheaper hehehe)
is this going to be a problem
I have a sense that something else needs to be setup yet for this to work
and the DIR for HTM files should be "public_html" ?
I know it used to be but that was like 6-8 years ago (and some servers where setup dif even back then)
I think there is nothing to do now but wait (domains used to take about 3 days)
Should hopefully take less than 24 hours, it usually only takes around 4 hours. And yes, the public_html files is where you store all the files that you want everyone to be able to access. When you upload your forum software, you will be required to upload quite a few files to the public_html folder and sometimes required to upload sensitive areas to the folder above the public_html folder (this is only in some types of software though)
well im not making a forum
just a quick simple website with all my stuff on it for people to download
then ill try buying traffic and hope to sell some Netload accounts
Best of luck buddy, if you have any questions or queries make sure to let me know either here or at HiloHost support section via a ticket. But please don't contact me on both websites as it can make things confusing.
I tell everyone to contact me over at HiloHost rather than contacting me here, when contacting me at HiloHost I can access everything very fast.
