Need Help :) DNS?

I found a domain I wanted but it was only available in www.domain.nl. I registered it and received confirmation. I then setup hosting with Surpass.

Everything appears to be up and running but I need some setup help.

The Domain site control panel allows me to manage the domain and forward it to an IP or addy but I there are no DNS settings. I forwarded the domain to my Surpass temporary address of ip/~userid. When I go to my website I see the index.html file I created but the browser does not show my domain name. It just shows the ip/~userid. If I forward it to the IP that Surpass gave me I just get "There is no website configured at this address."

My guess is user error here. Is there something in the control panel I need to set? Is this a DNS issue? I have always hosted my own websites so forgive my ignorance

Thanks for the help!

1 - look for name server settings. You don't want to 'forward' any thing.
2 - propagation of the name (where people can find you by name and not IP) takes 24-72 hours.

Thanks for the help.

I did a whois on my domain and the dns settings look like the below..

Domain nameservers:
ns.routing.net 213.160.64.64
ns8.routing.net 213.160.65.64

These are not the IPs provided by Surpass. Unfortunately I do not have the option to change these from my domain name login. I am guessing this is the problem I need to resolve?

You should always have somewhere to change the DNS otherwise you don't control your domain name.

Just sent an email to ask them where I can change the dns settings. Hopefully their English is better than my German

Thanks for the help!

Yes I am aware Nederland speaks Dutch lol. It was registered with Kreativ Factory but I believe they use a German site/company. I have emails coming from *.de that is why I mentioned Germany.
