OK, so this is a new host for me. I already own a domain name however I seemingly cannot use it? When I try to use it I get this error:

"DOMAIN-NAME IS NOT AVAILABLE
We provide you a free subdomain for your hosting account. Also, You can add other subdomains from control panel later."

So I've created a free domain name DOMAIN-NAME.HSTN.ME and I'm attempting to add my own domain name.

I've changed my own DOMAIN-NAME to point at the nameservers ns1.hstn.me, ns2.hstn.me as specified in my free domain details.

When I then try to add a domain name using 'Create an Addon Domain' it says "DOMAIN-NAME is already assigned and in use.4"

What am I doing wrong please? Be gentle!! ;-D

Your domain might be attached to another host, make sure it’s not being hosted anywhere else. Also make sure your domain isn’t parked..

I may be wrong...

Hi MyITCGroup, I think your right.. I've setup my URL as a re-seller, so when I try to remove it it says :

"This domain is a reseller domain, and can not be removed using the VistaPanel"

The problem that I'm facing is my free SSL cert needs an email address associated to the domain name, what I hoped to do was swap my nameservers back to freehosting.com, get my SSL associated email and then swap back again..

Doesn't seem to want to do that. How can I get around this please?

Did you sign up for myownfreehost.net with your domain name?
If you signed up then your domain name is associated with the free reseller hosting and you cannot add it to any other web hosting associated with byet.org

You cannot edit DNS or use Cloudflare through Nameserver on reseller hosting. The only option to get an SSL would be to use Cloudflare SSL by enabling it through the VistaPanel.

Hope this helps.
Regards!

OK, so I seem to be going around in circles here.. As a free user (even if I'm a reseller) I cannot have webmail, nor can I seem to delete my account (not that I want to do that). So how the fluke can I renew my SSL cert.. it requires a DNS entry (doesn't work) OR and http upload (normally the easiest, but it's a .FOLDER and refuses to see the required file) so the last time I renewed this it was via email, then I swapped to here. I'm obviously unable to do that, so I'm stuck.. Please help!!

Can you edit the ns record not point to the free hosting website via your registrar? You can also try to Change the mx records and create a txt record to use a 3rd party email host. I use zoho.

good luck!
