I was wondering if it would be possible to use the Dot.TK domain registrar to change the domain of my Advanced Hosted wikis from, say, sm64.wikkii.net to sm64wiki.tk. Or in that case any domain registrar, since I see no option to change the domain in cPanel and the "URL forwarding" thing only creates a redirect.

tl;dr can I register my own domain without the 250 visitors thing?

I think you can, but I've never known how you're supposed to do it.  For most websites, I set a subdomain and a cname server/domain, but here the closest thing involves something about creating some sort of login- it involves entering a password.

I know how to do it now. It's not working though because the domains need to start pointing to Wikkii's nameservers. Once that's done I think it's good.

The parked domains are going where they should, except that it just does the same effect as Dot.TK's domain forwarding; it redirects to the wikkii.net subdomain. I want it like the wiki linked to on this thread, where it displays the wiki but doesn't go to the subdomain.

Nevermind, I figured out I had to change $wgServer in LocalSettings.php to get it to work.

Is there a way I can force the www. prefix at the beginning of the URL? I am currently using a redirect to do this, but it redirects all non-www. urls to the main page rather than the page the user was trying to access without the www. (in other words, a MarioWiki type setup). And can I also auto-redirect the .wikkii.net subdomain to the new domain without having it always go to the main page (the same thing I was talking about with the www.; similar to how if you go to http://www.wikia.com/User:UserPage it automatically takes you to http://community.wikia.com/wiki/User:UserPage, only I'd have it do this with every page and not just user pages)?

I've figured the www. thing out. It's a simple .htaccess edit.

EDIT: It seems this same edit also redirects the .wikkii.net the same way. So both things are figured out.

When I enter

ns1.wikkii.org
ns2.wikkii.org

for the Custom DNS under Host Name, it says it isn't valid.
