Communityarchitect, How does it work?

I know the nameservers point to CA, but then how do you point to your main website ?

I had them set the zone file to point to wzr.net and then I can redirect it to wherever I want. :)

but then in the status bar it shows something like , 'downloading from www.myhost.com' and that doesn't look good.

That's how it has to work... They don't host your site... Only redirect to it.

redirect to CA? how?

alright, you put your domain on their nameservers, and then they can host sites on their servers for you as subdomains of your domain.

you give them an i.p. address to point your root domain to, along with the www. prefix as well. you can also have them set you up your own specified mail exchanger for your domain.

in the control panel you can also set up ip pointing and cnames. you have no direct access to the dns settings, but they'll set up anything you want them to, within reason of course.

That is my problem I don't got an ip address, I'am on a virtual address (directoris). And if i you my virtual server name i.e. (www.directoris.com/myusername) then in the status bar it always shows downloading from directoris.com and I don't want that to happen, it's like hosting your domain at mydomain.com and pointing it to f2s.com stealth or otherwise.
