Thanks Rob, I'll do that. Once I get the call confirming my order, and the welcome email, and have set up the website on TCH's server, then I'll contact Afrihost. Thanks again

Thanks Rob, Well... the thing is, I don't know who the registrar is. The doman registration/setup and hosting was all bundled into 1 package. So, if I can perhaps find the Registrar, I'd be able to do it through them... but the problem is, I have no idea how to find out who the registrar is. Could it perhaps be http://www.co.za/ ? If it is... and I cancel my membership with Afrihost, then will the domain disappear? Thanks for the warm welcome everyone! David

Ok... I've bought the Silver hosting solution. Thanks again for all the help, team! I really hope this works out. I'll be expecting a call from the billing department soon. David

Excellent! I'm going to get my credit card now!

Thanks Jim! I am in the process of registering for Silver now. Just a quick question... I went through the order wizard, and entered www.freegrace.co.za as my already existant domain. Now, I'm guessing that to be able to obtain FTP access, I will first be going through an IP address (before I get freegrace.co.za forwarded to it?)? Thanks for all the help. David

Thanks for the advice Jim, Fortunately, I do own the domain! This is what my host currently states: I will definately think about getting the reseller package. David

Thanks for the feedback guys. Ok, well I hosted with Afrihost.com - and they also set up the domain for me. If I get their domain forwarding service, it costs approximately $6/month. And if I am going for silver... that's $5! All I can say is... I'm guessing that if I convert to their Domain Pointing/ Forwarding service ( www.afrihost.com/domain-pointing.php ), that this would then be sufficient? I'd just have to get them to point to the new host name, am I right? Sorry for the ignorance . I just know how to use Mambo & Joomla! I know nothing of these details. Thanks again for your speedy help! David

Thanks Andy! That sounds like great news. Hmm.. Fantastico would have been nice - but considering the website is now complete... I don't suppose I would need it anymore. Will Fantastico ever enter the pipeline? I will have a look at the hosting plans again. I'll probably go for a low-level plan for the church website (www.freegrace.co.za), like silver or something. In addition, I would like to create my own website. So, if this turns out to be what I am looking for, you can expect more business from me - and possibly my friends! I received an email response to my query from another company - and this is what they said regarding the transfer: Now... I have NO idea where the alternate host name will come from (will I get that once I buy a package?). I also have no idea how to change the NameServers for the domain - and I don't know who or what the Registrar is! So, with regards to the domain transfer, I am still absolutely clueless. If you guys can help me out here and clear up the fog... I will be VERY inclined to offer you my business. Thanks again! David

Hi there, I happened to stumble upon www.findmyhosting.com and TCH came out as one of the ones that I am very interested in. I was particularly pleased to see 96% satisfaction from over 900 user ratings. Anyway, you will notice that I have already sent an email to your sales department. In it, are all my questions. I felt inspired to post my inquiry on the forum since I saw how welcoming and friendly the team is I realise that the sales department probably doesn't open until Monday - but I'm just too anxious to see whether this can be done. So here is my inquiry: I will be happy to receive a reply either here or as an email. I hope to be doing business with you soon! Many thanks, David Peyton
