Hi Jeff. You don't want to set the nameservers to heroku but rather tell one and ones name servers that your domain can be found by going to heroku. To do this you can use a cname (so stick with one and ones nameservers) in the dns settings. The cname is proxy.heroku.com.
The only issue comes if you also have email on that domain. If you do you can't use the cname and instead you have a choice. One and one can't have multiple ips (they're called A records by most companies) per domain so either use one of them (which may cause issues but prob won't) or use the zerigo add-on. With zerigo you actually do change nameservers to zerigo and then they will handle adding the other records for you. You still need to pay the one and one domain fee but not any of the other stuff (ie. Only instant domain is needed) I hope that helps Steve On 27 Jun 2010, at 13:32, iamtheschmitzer <jeffrey.j.schm...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi all > > I am trying to move mydomain and www.mydomain from 1 and 1 to point to > my heroku instance. > > I am confused about 1) how to do this, 2) do I still need 1 and 1 > afterward > > How to do this > > 1 went into my control panel and selected transfer domain.
