Trying to forward a domain to Weebly
-
I have a domain that is registered with wordpress that I want to forward to weebly. Ive followed the instructions in this article:
and get either an invalid TLD error when I enter the IP Address that weebly has provided or if I put in the actual DNS name which is pages-custom-11.weebly.com i get an error that says
“You must enter a registered nameserver”
Ive searched on your forum and am not sure how to go about registering this name server. How do I go about doing that? Any help would be really appreciated! Thanks!

Hi there,
It doesn’t actually appear that you’ve changed your nameservers for your domain name successfully quite yet. You can tell by doing what’s called a whois lookup. Here’s a direct link to your domain’s whois lookup:
http://who.is/whois/coolandcalmcafe.com
Keep in mind that once you change your nameservers it can take several hours for the changes to propagate throughout the Internet. So you’ll want to make that change as instructed in our support document and then give it a few hours before trying out your domain name!
If you still have troubles, let me know and give me the nameservers that weebly have given you and I can see what I can do for you.

Thank you for responding!! The issue I am having is when I attempt to update the name servers in the domain control panel. The IP Addresses that weebly provided are
199.34.228.55, 199.34.228.56, 199.34.228.57, 199.34.228.58 and 199.34.228.59
If I enter the IP address and click OK to apply the change it says “Invalid TLD Error”
I did an nslookup on those IP Addresses and the names are
pages-custom-15.weebly.com
pages-custom-14.weebly.com
pages-custom-13.weebly.com etc…If I put that name in and try to apply the change I get an error that says
“You must enter a registered name server”
I’m not sure where to go from here? I found this article but wasnt sure if it was the same issue:

I can go ahead and make the IP address change for you, however usually it is just one IP address that you will need to enter. Would you mind checking and making sure which IP address you’ll need for your domain name?

OK, you’re all set! Your domain should start pulling up your weebly site within the next hour or so.
Let me know if you need anything else!

It was my pleasure! Again, let me know if you need anything else and I hope you have a great week!
