Hello all,

I'm thinking of setting up a free hosting account with this site and using a different domain name registration site. When you sign up for a freehostia site and select use my own domain name it gives you two dns addresses:

dns1.freehostia.com
dns2.freehostia.com

The domain name registration site that I'm thinking of using is:
http://www.namecheap.com/

But in their help section about changing the DNS for the domain:
http://namecheap.simplekb.com/kb.show?s ... tegoryid=0

The examples given show ns1 and ns2, as opposed to dns1 and dns2 shown when you sign up for freehostia. Will it work if I use:

ns1.freehostia.com
ns2.freehostia.com

instead of:

dns1.freehostia.com
dns2.freehostia.com

or should I use:

dns1.freehostia.com
dns2.freehostia.com

:?:

why don't you register it here with freehostia?
atleast they will make a couple cents off of it, in return, you're getting free hosting.

The answer to that question my friend, is that namecheap offer a cool feature called 'WhoisGuard' which, as the name suggests, protects personal information from being displayed in the whois database.
