tamiep Posted February 10, 2008 Posted February 10, 2008 I am going to switch service providers from 1and1 over to here (I have one site over here already), but my domain name is registered over on 1and1 until June (I've paid the other ISP up until June). What if I make a subdomain over here under my current Web site until my domain name can be moved over here. I'll have a link on the 1and1 hosted site to the subdomain over here under my other Web site. I am going to create the new site using Joomla. Will it be easy to move it from subdomain to domain if I do that? Quote
flashram Posted February 10, 2008 Posted February 10, 2008 Just transfer the domain name to somewhere like godaddy.com and then point the name servers from your control panel at godaddy.com back to your current hosting companies name servers. You always have control of the domain as you are the owner of the domain, godaddy act as the registrar. It might also be cheaper for you in the long term as well. Open an account here when you have done so and then you can get it transfered here using cPanel to cPanel transferring if that is what you are using, the techs need both the log in info for both sites, once it is transfered you then point the domain name servers to the TCH name servers you will be giving when you sign up. I learnt a long time ago, not to have hosting and domain names controlled by the same people, look after the domain name registrations yourself, takes a lot of pain out of problems then long term.

TCH-Andy Posted February 10, 2008 Posted February 10, 2008 Your files can be moved from a subdomain here, to a new account and domain here fairly easily - yes. Quote
