I have bought a domain for cheap on crazydomains. The sad thing is they do not provide DNS settings without paying additional amount. They just give us a feature to set the nameserver details and some thing called 'Host records'.
Is there any way to use the nameserver settings to redirect the domain to a blog address ?
And also is there any chance to avail free DNS services offered by many sites just by using the nameserver feature provided by Crazydomains ?
you can use the host records only to redirect to an IP.
If they provide a feature like hosting a single HTML file, you can use an HTTP redirect. For example, create an index.html File with the following content and adapt the URL in it to point to your blog:
<html><head><meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="1; URL=http://www.some-other-server.foo/some/path/to/your/blog.html"></head><body></body></html>
There are other options like a php-Redirect. Example:
<?
Header( "HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently" );
Header( "Location: http://www.exampledomain.foo/" );
?>
As long as you don't have your own Server to where you can point your IP to, this is the only way I can think of.
Good luck!
Have you tried DNSEXIT it is free DNS service and you will get full control also dont forget to add NS record with your Domain Registrar.
