how to navigate a Domain to look at you webhost server

how to navigate a Domain to look at you webhost server |||| nameservers for your domain
difficulty level

9/10 :(

solution

1. Go to at your WebHost server, login on cpanel console (or something like this).
2. Create an addon domain, there you will define the web directory of you addon domain where your domain will look.
3. Search somewhere in the cpanel, the nameserver of your webhost server, you will need it soon.
3. Go to the site of the register (znetindia.com etc) login to your member account and go to your domains page.
4. The goal is to define the name servers of your webhost server, as Nameservers of the domain you want to look at there. The process varies from register to register, some require verification via email.

The propagation of the namesevers might take 24hours (indeed), so be patient and the only you have to do it to wait. Sometimes windows’s internal dns cache doesn’t work correctly and it does see for new dns of your domain… in this case… call “ipconfig /flushdns” or try… from another computer!

How to shrink a VirtualBox vdi disk image size?

This post shows the required steps to free up the unused space. It worked for me with Sun/Oracle VirtualBox versions of 3.1.6 and above.
For a Windows guest system
  • Start a Defragmentation (right-click disk icon, select properties->Tools tab-> Defragment now…)
