Domain forwarding not working

Hi,

 

I have bought the domain suninncorfton.co.uk with BT and want it to point to the free webspace

 

http://home.btconnect.com/thesuninncorfton/

 

I have followed the BT instructions but all I get is the following message, nothing can be changed in the advanced to get it to work

 

You are trying to set a www record, when one already exists for this domain. This can cause issues with the domain resolving properly. None of the changes just submitted have been saved. If you need to change a www record please use Advanced Domain Manager.

 

Can anyone help?

 

Thanks in advance

We don't seem to host suninncorfton.co.uk but we do have thesuninncorfton.co.uk.  Looking at suninncorfton.co.uk in an on-line WhoIs tool, I can see that it is "tagged" to BT.  We don't seem to have any transfer requests for this domain name.

It seems likely that you were trying to forward thesuninncorfton.co.uk, rather than suninncorfton.co.uk.

 

I've cleared the issue with the hosted domain name, you will now be able to set up forwarding for: thesuninncorfton.co.uk via the Domain Management Console.
