ropie Posted November 16, 2005 Posted November 16, 2005 I bought my domain name (richardopie.com) through Microsoft's small business site. Then I got wise and found your site and signed up for you as my webhost. My question is: do I have to do anything with regard to propogation of my domain name? Contact Microsoft? Or is that taken care of by TotalChoice? Thanks Richard Quote
GroovyFish Posted November 16, 2005 Posted November 16, 2005 Hi Richard! Welcome to the forums. When you signed up for hosting, you would have received a welcome letter. In that letter you will find TCH's DNS server information. You will need to go back to where you registered your domain (Microsoft), and change the DNS servers to the TCH DNS Servers. It will then take up to 72 hours to propagate your domain. Quote
stevevan Posted November 16, 2005 Posted November 16, 2005 Welcome to the forums and family Richard! Groovyfish answered your question beautifully. If you have any other questions, don't hesitate to ask your new family members! Quote
abinidi Posted November 16, 2005 Posted November 16, 2005 Welcome to TCH and the forums. I think that GroovyFish got you covered. Usually domain propogation for .com and .net and .org domains is much faster than the 72 hours, but we say 72 just to be safe. If done correctly, it shouldn't take LONGER than 72 hours. Often it is MUCH shorter. Come back to the forums! We're a friendly bunch!! Quote
ropie Posted November 19, 2005 Author Posted November 19, 2005 Welcome to the forums, Richard Thanks for your help and the welcomes. Mircosoft was kind enough to change the DNS pointers, even though upon a closer read their domain registration agreement said I had to use there services as web hoster. I asked them to change them and it looks like they did. Quote
