    Can you edit the etc/hosts file

    Can you add:

    65.75.183.40 www.whoiscart.net

    to etc/hosts

    - Domain seems to be taking ages to propagate....

    Can I do this myself or is this a server wide thing?

    Cpanel 15 BTW

    Cheers

      that is done on your local system.. so that that system can access the site. it won't work for the rest of the world (unless they add it to their host files too ).

      on windows xp it's at c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
      just add that line (IP and domain) to the file. if there is no hosts file, create a new one.

        Whois.Cart has a license key that needs to be looked up by the script. This means the server has to contact www.whoiscart.net propably rather offen. So adding it to the server's host file makes sense. However, I wonder if Dathorn would want to maintain such a file?

        Elite how it come out?
