I host my domain on Wordpress
I just wanted to use a third party to be able to redirect my dns/domain
I think I bit off more than I could chew.
I'm currently trying to get the 'Enthusiast' certification.
I followed the steps the best that I possibly could but I continue to receive the
'Could not grab the file via IPv6 HTTP' message.
Help Step Description Data
[1] Completed: Code generated vu3hfsvjft
[2] Completed: Valid FQDN entered http://whoisathena.com /
[3] Completed: URL created: http://whoisathena.com/vu3hfsvjft.txt
I made the txt file in the wwwroot and I just don't know.
Please help me out, I'm sure it's a simple fix (at least I hope so).
Have you even tried loading the url for the txt file? it gives a 404.
And no, you don't have to go through the certification process if you don't want to. However, I'd recommend doing it because you get the opportunity to learn quite a bit.

What is supposed to load?
It was showing the IIS7 Image but it doesn't seem to be loading it anymore.
Should I start the process over?
IIRC, the link should load a text file with the random string given to you by the certification webpage.
I"d make sure IIS is running and your firewall isn't getting in the way

i appreciate your help but this has gotten too complicated. How can i direct a domain to point to another hosting site?

If you are just going to have someone do all the legwork and get stuff working, then yes: 'what is the point? Do I need to do this?' makes it irrelevant almost.
If you are doing this to get IRC/SMTP access, then the point is to learn some internet service hosting fundamentals. If you can get it working with IPv4, then it should be relatively similar/easy for IPv6. You could try reading some Microsoft Press books/documentation for IIS and go from there.

Thanks, as far as he.net are there any tutorials or any resources that are site-specific, that you may know (for changing a-records and cnames?)

Wonderful answer!
