I Want To Keep My Domain Name - How Can I Transfer

[Guest Barbara B.]

I want to keep the .com that I regsitered originally with another company... how can I transfer the name to totalchoicehosting?

 

I cannot contact the original hosting company.

Hi,

 

You will need to contact the registar of the domain name. Can you quote the domain name so we can check?

 

If not, can you log in and change the name servers for your domain name?

I registered it originally with featureprice.com

I'm sorry I didn't read your response correctly... my website name (which I want to keep) is http://www.pattonuncovered.com.

 

Thanks.

If your wanting to transfer the domain name from your old register to our register, then all you'll need to do is go to our domain name registration page, and click on the transfer link. There'll be a $10.95 fee involved.

 

If your wanting to keep your domain name register, then all you'll need to do is update the DNS pointers at that said register, to our DNS servers.

Ok - now does your company host my website when I transfer it? Will I be able to make changes to my website?

What I described was how to transfer your domain NAME, doing the whole site (what you actually have on there) is another mater all together.

How would I go about that?

 

Can I transfer the name and then sign up for your company to host that name? Would that work?

Yep, that'd do it! Get the domain name transfered, then pick the plan you want, wait for it to be set up, and then FTP your site from your computer onto our servers! Easy as that.

It would be good to look pretty quickly at the policies of your current registrar since your domain expires in June. There are different policies on transfering within a certain window that can make it more difficult.
