Using EveryDNS with Byet

There are many people here using EveryDNS to manage their domain DNS (.com, .org etc.), and now they use Byet for the hosting. Byet supports its own DNS Management (MX, CNAME record) and Email Management, so virtually all you have to do is move from EveryDNS to Byet for the sake of hosting and DNS management. That means changing your domain name spaces from nsx.everydns.net to nsx.byet.org (x goes from 1 to 5). After that you can go to Byet Cpanel to fully manage your domain and configure other settings.
But the problem is for some reasons, say, you can not change your name spaces or you want to keep all the settings set at everyDNS, you want to use everyDNS along with Byet. OK, so here is the deal.

1. Go to Addon Domains in Byet Cpanel and add your domain.com there.
2. From now on, your domain.com content on Byet would be located in /domain.org/htdocs. Upload a test file (like index.html) there. Remember, /domain.org/htdocs, NOT just /htdocs.
3. Ping to your free sub-domain at Byet (your sub-domain would be something like something.my-webs.org) and copy that first IP address returned.
