karlfranz Posted March 19, 2003 Posted March 19, 2003 If my site already have a domain name(www.myname.com),can I transfer a 'welcome.to/'domain name to my site? Quote
Lianna Posted March 19, 2003 Posted March 19, 2003 Ok, my ignorance here. What's a welcome.to/ domain name? Lianna Quote
karlfranz Posted March 19, 2003 Author Posted March 19, 2003 In the past,users can register a free easy-to remember domain name,the names are in 'http://welcome.to/yourname' form,but it is not free anymore. Quote
Lianna Posted March 19, 2003 Posted March 19, 2003 Sorry, I'm still lost here. What users? and where would their sites be hosted? Can you show me an example? Lianna Quote
karlfranz Posted March 19, 2003 Author Posted March 19, 2003 If the users register a free hosting ,then the domain name will be very long,so they can register a free and easy-to-remember domain to replace the long name,that is 'welcome.to/' ,example are welcome.to/beatles But this service is no longer free now....

Larry Posted March 19, 2003 Posted March 19, 2003 the welcome.to/beatles part is not really a domain name... you would need to register a real domain name to have something like that work correctly. and then have welcome.to/beatles foward to your domain name.. Quote
karlfranz Posted March 19, 2003 Author Posted March 19, 2003 I know,that's why I ask about 'transfering' Quote
Lianna Posted March 19, 2003 Posted March 19, 2003 Ok, I think I understand. See if I'm on the right track here (I'm using examples for domain names, etc.) - 1. You have a domain name like karlfranz.com 2. You have a hosting package at TCH for that domain name. 3. You also have a site that is hosted on a free provider and is currently using a domain name of welcome.to/karl If all of that is correct, then I have to ask: a. Is the site that is free hosted and gotten to via welcome.to/karl different than the site that you are planning to host via your domain name on TCH (karlfranz.com)? b. If the site IS different then you want to be able to have welcome.to/karl to point to a site in your karlfranz.com domain hosted here? c. You really don't care about keeping the welcome.to/karl part, but do want to have the site moved over to TCH as a part of your karlfranz.com domain? OR d. The welcome.to/karl site IS the site that will become karlfranz.com? See, a domain and a site are really very different things and thus create all kinds of combinations. I really need more information. What, specifically, do you have and what do you want to do with it? Thanks. Lianna Quote
