I'm having a little trouble setting up my domain redirect. The domain name is registered with Namesco and the hosting is on Wiserhosting. Wiserhosting has provided me nameservers of


Nameserver 1: ns1.wiserhosting.co.uk
Nameserver 2: ns2.wiserhosting.co.uk


I configured these into the DNS settings page on Namesco for this domain
as hostname: www, type:CNAME, result:ns1.wiserhosting.co.uk. but when I go to the URL I get redirected to /cgi-sys/defaultwebpage.cgi page which simply shows mu.wiserhosting.co.uk.

I am finding it weird that I have two Nameservers but am only able to configure one. I get a duplication error if I add the ns2 with another www host. Wiser also provided an IP address of 78.129.233.118 and I've added that as an A record. but still makes no difference.

I'm unsure what I'm doing wrong here, and who should I call? Is the redirect not configured correctly, or is it configured but not working when it gets there?

All you should need to do is provide namesco with the nameservers and add the domain into your control panel at your web host (wiser).

You shouldn't need the CNAME record.
